MATSURFERS.COM NEWS - September 2020
Welcome to the September, 2020 Newsletter. We have a blast from the past, a blast from the future and another offering from the Fringe Surfer Series to get stuck into , as well as our usual Photo/Video of the Month.
MATS HIT THE WAVE
After much toing, froing and negotiation, G of G-Mat surfmats managed to get a mat onto the Wavegarden pool known as The Wave, Bristol. The issue was that all craft must have a leash. As luck would have it, G has a mat built with a leash fitting for night surfing.
So what is The Wave like?
“We rode the left and right on the Advanced setting. It was essentially a fun small summer session wave. Really fun day out and weird to be surfing in chlorinated water with someone telling you when to go like a water park!
I’d really like to see if we could get them to agree to a couple of mat only sessions, one before lunch and one after perhaps, so that people didn’t have to wear leashes. We’d need 15 people to be up for it but it’d be a really fun mat meet!”
That does sound a fun day out! Let us know if you’d be interested. If we get the numbers thewn we’ll approach The Wave.
MYTH BUSTERS
THis came up in conversation the other day and we thought it would be worth another share… 9 yeats later! Click the pic to open.

PHOTO OF THE MONTH
There’s been a fair bit to choose from this month but we’re decided to go with this pic of Steve Halpin of Real Surfing Magazine/Karma Surfshop who has recently found the mat and is absolutely smitten!
Is there anything better than that moment when it clicks for someone? Welcome offboard Stevo!
As always, we welcome your feedback and contributions.
