<h2>
How to Repair a Surfmat</h2>
I am constantly being asked what is the best way to repair a punctured mat.<br />
We all have accidents from time to time and there is a few little tricks to make it an easy job.<br />
Holes and tears come in all shapes and sizes.<br />
Here is a few common ones that we will study and use in our Master Class.<br />
<br />
First there are pinholes theses can happen from a variety of minor incidents.<br />
These little buggers can be hard to find sometimes.<br />
There is a simple trick to locate these that we will discuss a later.<br />

Second kind of holes are straight punctures normally from shells, barnacles or sharp objects.<br />
Although they look nasty they are relatively easy to fix. <br />
<br />

<br />
Third ones are tears and this kind of damage is nasty and can be a challenge to repair<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Ok now lets get to work and get these problems fixed.<br />
My preferred adhesives are wet-suit glue which is a rubberized contact cement, and if wet-suit glue is not available contact cement will do and for the big tears a urethane cement like Aqua Seal is ideal.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Right lets get to it.<br />
First thing we have to do is locate the holes and hardest ones to find are the pin holes.<br />
By simply using dish washing liquid and wetting the mat you will soon find the problem and the hole.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRw2JOyuZi0WwLaJqSrvrr2D45_jYTglZY8Acap9C2JPrJ8xeqICc7EqUqwUEnBXC1yDoeOxWfe7o-92CRatOxZPChOjnCihT3RiKX36CWg2xOueExXVLbJyzPKhjxbaxsBClqmnpJGCY/s1600/20170713_123021+-+Copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRw2JOyuZi0WwLaJqSrvrr2D45_jYTglZY8Acap9C2JPrJ8xeqICc7EqUqwUEnBXC1yDoeOxWfe7o-92CRatOxZPChOjnCihT3RiKX36CWg2xOueExXVLbJyzPKhjxbaxsBClqmnpJGCY/s640/20170713_123021+-+Copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Blow your mat up extra hard and wet the mat with soap.<br />
You,ll soon see bubbles where the hole is.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Once you have found the hole mark it and dry the mat off thoroughly.<br />
Pin holes and punctures are repaired the same way.<br />
Tears are a little different but we,ll get to them in a minute.<br />
One of the problems with wet-suit glue is as it drys it curls your patch up.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
So we need to stabilize the patch and make it a band-aid.<br />
The best way to do this is to reverse a piece of tape and stick it down on a flat surface.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGCSiNp__25mP3hMbzzz6ULOcEPn7lqsP16Ee9OQFJjExsWq8U4uzjt8SdwW8OAje573VMBnBFTCBYaIT86Yd2hT02JDGj3_N1z4f6Q4EkJz3lMn5xnpmtjOMo8XvJqfzCr-hgsK-UC9s/s1600/20170713_125948.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGCSiNp__25mP3hMbzzz6ULOcEPn7lqsP16Ee9OQFJjExsWq8U4uzjt8SdwW8OAje573VMBnBFTCBYaIT86Yd2hT02JDGj3_N1z4f6Q4EkJz3lMn5xnpmtjOMo8XvJqfzCr-hgsK-UC9s/s640/20170713_125948.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Get one of your patches which comes with your Krypt MT5 Surfmat and stick it upside down on the tape.<br />
Smooth side down and material to material for the best mechanical bond.<br />
You also very slightly scuff the material with some 280 grit for an even better bond.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Now apply wet-suit glue to the patch and the hole on the mat and wait for it to dry.<br />
Make sure you massage the first layer of glue into the fabric and make sure it is wet out properly.<br />
Apply at least 2 or 3 layers of glue to the mat and the patch.<br />
Make sure the circumference of glue is bigger than the patch.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK0ZujXRk2yjpwiq4ZI4Dt5tiwQQTTs3tzEfzLdgV7mnAl-yxHAuE_LfmNokLEtPU60FpcSBgDpzVt_JdGFTgkIq3EthqzICbcmOZs07tQmIKMkESTtjPXIM4GewTQXsJNkW_quk-A0dM/s1600/20170713_125848.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK0ZujXRk2yjpwiq4ZI4Dt5tiwQQTTs3tzEfzLdgV7mnAl-yxHAuE_LfmNokLEtPU60FpcSBgDpzVt_JdGFTgkIq3EthqzICbcmOZs07tQmIKMkESTtjPXIM4GewTQXsJNkW_quk-A0dM/s640/20170713_125848.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
If the corners peel up on bigger holes like a puncture wait till the glue is dry and use a blunt object and push the curled pieces back down until they knead together flat.<br />
Once the glue is dry carefully peel your band-aid up being careful to keep it all together and apply the patch in rolling action. This eliminates any issues with getting air under your patch.<br />
<br />

<br />
Apply pressure to make sure there is no air under the patch and there is good adhesion.<br />
Leave for 24hours and your good to go.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Be super carefully removing the sticky tape from the patch and don,t
try and do it too early or too fast or you can rip the patch off before the glue is
cured.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq9p-zShil35aGic_ZjOwKQ9AV24hxtoWc1bgGIYd8_d_erv0JsSQtxnz809cdz4rnIjLiBA0HoYp0cyl8MN84bmeHZz2FGWjlhOO755vS5ADKrDSMtTWFm0wG21lQ8DOoWLSGqdh6VJE/s1600/20170713_131036.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq9p-zShil35aGic_ZjOwKQ9AV24hxtoWc1bgGIYd8_d_erv0JsSQtxnz809cdz4rnIjLiBA0HoYp0cyl8MN84bmeHZz2FGWjlhOO755vS5ADKrDSMtTWFm0wG21lQ8DOoWLSGqdh6VJE/s640/20170713_131036.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Now we will deal with the nasty rips and tears.<br />
The same process applies but first we have to stabilize the the tear.<br />
If we do not do this the exterior patch may not be able to deal with the internal pressure exerted on the tear by surfing.<br />
We do this by placing an internal patch first. <br />
You will need to sacrifice a piece of your carry bag for this operation.<br />
Cut a piece of fabric that is at least an inch bigger than your tear all around.<br />
We do not want to glue the mat together internally during this process.<br />
The extra material allows for a bit of bleed off of the glue.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcWOk2gGAk9k-Fa6ayoIQz4uY3MCYyAkmgZ3ymJ8WL1YEkRrEDCs5WqWpxMh6yZzVSVwpMeBLbC9Z6r1h2U16LzNsXeG_BHeBBcmDSfJBNDlZGEiaTHnC7XSjb_572atUdEuP7LASSLRc/s1600/20170713_124347+-+Copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcWOk2gGAk9k-Fa6ayoIQz4uY3MCYyAkmgZ3ymJ8WL1YEkRrEDCs5WqWpxMh6yZzVSVwpMeBLbC9Z6r1h2U16LzNsXeG_BHeBBcmDSfJBNDlZGEiaTHnC7XSjb_572atUdEuP7LASSLRc/s640/20170713_124347+-+Copy.jpg" width="360" /></a></div>
<br />
Cut 2 large patches. One for the internal repair and one for the exterior repair. <br />
Place one of the large patch inside the tear making sure you have smooth side to the smooth internal side of the mat.<br />
For this process we use the AQUASEAL urethane cement.<br />
Its slow to go off so you have plenty of time to get this right.<br />
Run a little glue around the inside of the tear and position the internal patch.<br />
<br />

<br />
Well I hope this lesson makes life a little easier for you when it comes to fixing your mat when those unexpected surprises happens.<br />
Instead of O NO..its ok I can fix it.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Tom Carroll and his dust up with the rocks and barnacles at Little Avalon for the making of this lesson.<br />
<br />
Have fun and happy surf mat sliding everyone.<br />

Well the Captain was digging through his treasure chest the other day and came across these jewels from the past. </h3>
<h3>
Learning to surf should be fun. No forcing it. Let your babies work it out for them selves under there own power and discover their own love for the ocean. The Captain is the big duck and my little ducklings will follow me off the edge of the earth on any adventure. My Grandsons Jake and Spiral are growing up to be awesome little watermen. Sit back and enjoy the stoke.</h3>

Krypt Grip Update</h2>
After one of the most amazing runs of surf in the history of the planet the Captain is final back on deck.<br />
WELL ...the surf had to drop sooner or later.!!!!! and the Captain never misses out.<br />
So heres the latest Krypt Grip update.<br />
The MT5 is the lightest surfmat available so to maintain that super sensitivity to the oceans energy care should be taken when applying your grip.<br />
Here a great example from our mate in the USA ....Ara Peterson.<br />
The diagonal pattern maintains the flexibility of the mat with minimal weight gain.<br />
Heres what he had to say.<br />
<br />
<pre wrap="">I've been getting in some good time on that fresh mt5 I can confirm the grip job is working very well. I ended up using a 3m fast cure marine adhesive sealant. Still able to slide it under me forward or backward for stalling or early take offs and has excellent all around grip and its holding up so far. The design allows the nylon material to flex and move naturally and is light weight.

<br />
Great Job Ara!<br />
Also notice in this shot is Are,s VDUCK modification to his Voit Duck Feet swim fins.<br />
I asked him if he could tell the difference.<br />
<br />
<pre wrap="">I'm having a hard time deciding if I can sense to much of a difference.Possibly a more even stroke when digging in deep to the water kicking off. I like the flat ruler cut because it's more aesthetically functional, allows me to stand them up on the bumper of the the astro van!</pre>

Although the proprietary Dolphin Skin non skid deck of the Krypt MT5
surf mats works well, like anything, it does wear out over time.<br />
This short and simple lesson shows how to increase the grip around your hips whilst still allowing you to slide up onto the mat.<br />
Contrary to what others have had to say about this process being
expensive, messy and difficult, this lesson shows that you can customize
the non skid on your mat quickly and cleanly and using your own
personal design if you want to.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Stuff You Will Need</u></b><br />
One Ice cream Bucket<br />
Small plastic container<br />
One roll of masking tape<br />
Scissors<br />
Cleaning fluid<br />
Clean rag<br />
Vulkem 116 or other Sticker Flex or Marine Urethane Sealants<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><u>Preparation</u></b><br />
Wash your mat with fresh water and allow too dry.<br />
Inflate your mat to maximum pressure.<br />
Clean the deck surface with Isopropyl Alcohol, Methylated Spirits or if available I use Toluene.<br />
Toluene is nasty so wear gloves and use in a ventilated area.<br />
Allow to dry.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><u>Grip Design</u></b><br />
You can now apply masking tape to the mat in the design of your choice.<br />
Keep it simple like this lesson or be creative and inventive<br />
If you have an artistic streak you can use cardboard to make a stencil and apply double sided tape to the stencil.<br />

All that remains now is to peel the tape while the Vulkem is still wet.
This is where your ice cream bucket becomes the waste bucket and comes
in handy for cleaning up the sticky mess<br />
Allow to dry for 24 hours before surfing.<br />

I prefer to use 1 inch strips as this process, if done incorrectly, can add significant weight to your mat.<br />
With the MT5 surf mat weighing only 500gms, the designs we have chosen
to use are strategically placed and add as little weight as possible
whilst still providing ample grip.<br />
For this lesson a few friends brought along their mats and attended the Master Class also.<br />
My Series 3 mat is over a year old now and pretty thrashed so I needed more grip through the middle.<br />
The others non skid is still in good condition and they only needed the
hip grip so we made a short strip design on the rails to provide more
grip allowing greater confidence in larger surf and bottom turns.<br />
We also did one using a basic circular stencil.<br /><br />
Well now you know how to do it, have a bit of fun and give it go.<br />

Small Mats and Rocker! </h3>

<b><i><a href="http://www.kryptsurf.com/SURFMAT.htm"></a></i></b><br />
The Captain has generously taken the time to take images and provide informative material in relation to the smaller mats he designed and the
role of rocker in surf mats. The first pic shows the MT2 and MT3 he had
made by Dale Solomonson to his very specific instructions. It also
shows the 15 4GF surf mats that MT has demolished over many years as he
evolved his own ideas on surf mat design. I think I wouldn't mind living
where MT does too, as the view is pretty spectacular.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yxJlMEhgu-o/T8hCvC1xZJI/AAAAAAAAFN4/-_2qywzB4sY/s1600/Image+2.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yxJlMEhgu-o/T8hCvC1xZJI/AAAAAAAAFN4/-_2qywzB4sY/s400/Image+2.jpg" width="640" /></a>The
2nd two pics provide further visual detail of the MT2 and MT3 and a
sweet looking pair of mats they are too! Both are restricted breathers
with the MT2 a round nose/round tail and the MT3 with a round
nose/square tail. MT states that the early 4GFs were 3' 8" or 7<span style="font-size: xx-small;">1/2</span>" and the 5GFs of the day were 3' 8" and narrower. The MT2 and MT3 were a big step down into uncharted territory at 3' 5<span style="font-size: xx-small;">1/2</span>"
X 19" X 4". Both these mats were concaved with a flat rocker and it
wasn't until the MT4 that rocker was introduced in to the design. <br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-v9t9eATY77U/T8hCtgq5O8I/AAAAAAAAFNw/MZGVCNdkDfQ/s1600/Image+1.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-v9t9eATY77U/T8hCtgq5O8I/AAAAAAAAFNw/MZGVCNdkDfQ/s400/Image+1.jpg" width="265" /></a><br />
<br />
The prototype MT5 went back to a flat rocker before the production MT5 design was settled and included a further tweaked concave and reintroduced the rocker. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-v9t9eATY77U/T8hCtgq5O8I/AAAAAAAAFNw/MZGVCNdkDfQ/s1600/Image+1.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><br />
The MT5 was the break through design that found
the perfect aspect ratio of a mat that was 2 inches shorter than those
original 4GFs and 20" wide for the most efficient planing surface. You
will also have noted that the MT5 has very square rear corners. This design is the best for fast speed runs
and carving turns as it releases the laminar flow for the least amount
of drag. On that note, he states that the MT5 is designed very
specifically to suit his <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e6-djfp3BM">style</a>
of riding and the conditions that he generally rides in and that it may
not suit everyone. But I have found that, like board riding,
experiencing a range of mat types can only add to your mat riding
knowledge and skill set.<br />
<br />

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HbiE9CT4_YM/T8lA3QN3PzI/AAAAAAAAFOM/UE3_2i2rVHQ/s1600/Image+2.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="395" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HbiE9CT4_YM/T8lA3QN3PzI/AAAAAAAAFOM/UE3_2i2rVHQ/s400/Image+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<b><i>The role of rocker in a surf mat</i></b><br />
<br />
The Bernoulli formula of ( L=CL P/2 SV2) states:<br />
As the (V) Velocity of the fluid increases, (P) Pressure of the fluid
decreases, therefore creating (L) Lift and is the fundamental principle of all aviation..<br />
<div class="p1">
Rocker is based on this principle in that it amplifies the fluid and
creates lift by decreasing the pressure of that fluid. In the pic you
can see MT flexing up the rocker so as he can attack the lip. I guess if
a subtle curve already exists in the bottom of the mat then it is only
going to enhance being able to carry out a move like this. To my
question as to when rocker is at it's most effective MT replied "It"s
always working to lift you up and out of the water to get planing
and up to speed!" </div>

Surfmat for Kids II</h2>
<h3>
The Captain never ceases to be amazed watching my guys learn to surf on a high tech surfmat. It instills in the young ones a true love for the ocean and surfing. Learning to surf with no leash teaches them to trust in their own ability and gives them a confidence in themselves to get out the back and search out and find their own waves in the line up. </h3>
<h3>
There's no hurry learning to surf. Just let them discover surfing themselves and develop their skills at their own pace. Make it FUN. </h3>
<h3>
Here my 6 year old grandson Jake lights up a green water hyper burn to set up the inside section. Surf Mats harness the hidden vortex energy with in the wave and are sucked along at speed effortlessly. Jake says it tickles his belly yeah it does and the faster you go the more it tickles.</h3>

In this video shot on the Winter Solstice in 2014, Jake gives a look at how relaxed and confident he is getting in his surfing. He shows us how much fun and joyful the simple act of sliding across a wave on a surfmat can be. Exposing them to natures energy and beauty are memories they will carry with them forever.</h3>

<u>A Surfmat Tube Riding Masterclass with the Captain
</u></h3>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here are a few tips for riding deep tubes on a surf mat that I have learned over the years.</span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />Riding good tubes and making it on a surf mat is one of the most difficult and satisfying things to do in the surfing world.</span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Inflation is critical! Too hard and the mat will get sucked up and
over the falls. Too soft and the mat tends to slide to the bottom of the
wave and you get a flogging from the lip!</span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Everything has to be just right.</span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Your inflation, your body position on the mat, your reflexes.....everything!</span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Cybc3nxT7lo/T_JXz-zHRcI/AAAAAAAAFmE/RCPY8Q7uRYA/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-07-03+at+10.07.09+AM.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Cybc3nxT7lo/T_JXz-zHRcI/AAAAAAAAFmE/RCPY8Q7uRYA/s640/Screen+Shot+2012-07-03+at+10.07.09+AM.png" height="457" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Taking off is a high speed flutter kick and hurry hurry hurry quick
quick quick step on the gas and kick kick kick. Drive straight down the
wave into the bowl and hit a hard bottom turn. I find this set up turn
gives me the whip and acceleration I need to project down the line.<br />
<br />
</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I like to hit the section from behind accelerating from the bottom turn to get into the tube deep behind the curtain.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Stalling to get into the tube and slowing a surf mat down can be a
challenge as mats are so incredibly fast and you can break from that
perfect line you need to hold the
rail in the tube. Some people complain that my surfmats are slippery but you
need that combination of grip and slip to be able to slide off the back
of the mat to slow it down to wave speed and then pull yourself back up to throw your weight forward to accelerate back out.</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

It takes time to be comfortable and familiar with that situation.<br />
As soon as I park it inside, I find the best results come from setting the outside rail!<br />
This allows the water to drain around and under the mat and the surfmat will intuitively hold the perfect line.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
To achieve this perfect line as soon as I get the inner vision I throw my inside
arm back and release my inside rail, put my head down and fire all my
energy at the escape route. <br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Left arm holding and setting the outside rail and again letting go of
the mat in a critical tube is not exactly a natural thing to do but you
have to trust the mat knows where to go and you have done all you can do..</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Next comes something super difficult and counter intuitive to do....The Check Turn</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Being
deep inside a deep tube at warp drive is amazing but your mind can freeze.The micro second you feel the
mat track too far up the face you need to alter course instantly back
down the face towards the lip....then rip on the corner and reset the perfect fall line trim position.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This the part where time stands still. Being deep behind the curtain enveloped in a whirlwind of electromagnetic vortex energy is one of life's ultimate </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">spiritual </span>experiences.<br />
This is the worm hole where the time space continuum gets bent to your will. Every atom in your body is activated. I believe you can and do control the wave and what is happening
around you at this critical moment... if your mind can remain relaxed and focus all that energy.</span><br />

Getting out of the tube is a matter of experience and being

corrections to your flight path at the speed of light as the barrel
unwinds itself.<br />

JAKEY and the JELLY FISH</h3>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">One day my Grand Pa said lets go to the beach.</span><br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It was a sunny day and the water was warm</span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My POP gave me a funny looking thing to play with.</span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here you go Jakey here is a Jelly Fish for you.</span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Jelly Fish was all soft and wobbly</span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I played with the Jelly Fish in the water and it was fun.</span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then Grand Pa said hop on that Jelly Fish and ride a wave with him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But I was scared.</span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The big tube is coming to get me POP….. the big tube is coming to get me.</span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But POP just laughed and said its ok Jakey its only baby bubbles in here there’s no big tubes today.</span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Pop gave me a little push and I was zooming across the water</span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It was so much fun</span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I had the best day ever with my Grand Pa and now I have a new best friend</span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My Jelly Fish</span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Thanks Grand Pa for teaching me to Surf</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Now at 5 years old Jake has developed into a strong young waterman. Learning to surf with out a leash has given him the confidence and swimming ability to handle most conditions. Knowing what to do if he looses his mat and where the mat has gone, to be relaxed and calm while under stress and pressure to work with the ocean not against it.</span><br />

finally getting around to exploring his old man's obsession with surf
mats. I can only imagine how Daniel might have really resisted doing so
as a young guy as the last thing you want to do at that age is something
your parents are in to. Anyway, having established his own identity as a
shaper he obviously now felt comfortable about trying out a mat and
indeed may have done so to inform his board shaping I suspect. As the
original post mentioned, Dan was stoked at the mat riding experience and
spent the next few days exploring it further. Interestingly, in the
comments on that original post, Mattitude commented on how inflated Dan
has the mat as he enters the water in the first pic above. There are two reasons for this. One, your breath is hot and the water is cold and she,ll be right by the time you get out there.
Two, I remember MT commenting that he is in the habit of adding air to
his mat when coming in at Lennox across the rocks and I imagine Dan has
taken MT's advice to do something similar on the way out! It certainly
looks like he has dropped the inflation level in next pic.<br />
<br />

Now <a href="http://www.tomosurfboards.com/">based</a> in Southern
California, Dan has continued to ride mats whilst shaping the most
extraordinary looking boards. He has enjoying great success there as he
has won 2 prestigious Scared Craft best of show awards for a 5'3"
freestyle planning hull and a 4ft 11 inch diamond nose diamond tail with
a very parallel outline. He has also became increasingly interested in
whether a board could be as fast as a surf mat having been inspired by
the seemingly limitless top end speed potential that surf mats
possesses. Incidentally, he is not the only notable board rider to take
up mat riding as the list now also includes Chris Delmoro, Rob Machado,
Tom Curren, Joel Parkinson, Wayne Lynch, Wade Goodall, Mick Fanning,
Dean Morrison and of course Dave Rastovich.<br />

As I mentioned in this post,
Dan had apparently developed his own unique style of mat riding using
a unique minimal use of hands technique. Dubbed the Ironman, it utilises
riding way forward, head down for maximum speed potential and squeezing
the rear corners of the mat to provide some degree of control.<br />

spins aren't even part of the equation. Its more about high line trim and
harnessing the invisible pressure waves and power pockets. Now a mat is a permanent part of my quiver. </span> </span></span></b></i></div>

<b>Why do you ride surf mats?</b><br />
To ride a surf mat at a high level is an extremely difficult and
satisfying thing to do. It is always a challenge and you have to earn it
but the feelings you get from flying across the water on a bubble of
air activates the human nervous system unlike anything you have ever
done before. It keeps you super fit and flexible does not interfere with
your board riding what so ever so you can cross over like you have
never missed a day.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>How long have you been riding surf mats? </b><br />
35 years or so. Pretty much since I started surfing. Mats are just part
of the Australian beach culture. People forget that every surf brand on
the planet had their own surf mat back in the 1970s before the body
boards wiped them out. <br />
<br />

<br />
<b>How many and what surf mats have you owned?</b><br />
My current historical collection has an original Surfoplane 1930s,
original Converse Hodgman 1950s, a late 1960s GOLD CUP from China and an
Original Merrin from the 1970s. As a camera man, who specialised in
water photography, I’ve owned heaps of mats of all kinds. Canvas ones,
PVC ones, if it was for sale, I bought it and if it was ok I would buy a
box of them. Surf <br />
mats have been a tool of the trade for every
cameraman worth his salt for generations. So too many to count to be
honest.<br />
<br />

Since the inception of the modern urethane mats though, I have owned and
still have in my collection 15 4th Gear Flyers and 2 5th Gear Flyers.
Since the supply of 4GFs initially dried up in the mid 90s, just after
the Inflatable Dreams story in Surfers Journal, I have now added 8
Neumatics to that collection. Incidentally, Dale Solomonson was the
first to discover and utilise the modern urethane fabrics.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>How did you acquire them?</b> <br />
All the early 4GFs back in the 1980s and 90s came from George Greenough
and another American named Derrick who lived at Broken Head.<br />

<b><b></b>What is the history of your relationship with George Greenough?</b><b><b style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></b> </b><br />
I scored a house down in the rainforest at Broken Head and George and I
where neighbours. We got talking one day whilst we both happened to be
beach fishing and became really close friends. I had a surfboard factory
on the beach and I was filming designing and building all sorts of
boards, a really progressive time. George said I had a steady hand with
the camera and offered me a job as his camera assistant. For the next 15
years we pretty much spent nearly every day together fishing surfing,
windsurfing, and doing film jobs.<br />
<br />
<b style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></b> <b>What is the history of your relationship with Paul Gross? </b><br />
I have never met Paul Gross or spoken to him personally or had any
contact with him. George would return home to the USA every year for a
few months and always came back with a stash of mats.<br />
<br />
<b>Who designed and what is the history of the MT series of surf mats that Dale Solomonson made for you? </b><br />
Well, I'll let a quote from Dale on Surfer Mag Forum answer that. <br />
“The Neumatic MT series was made exclusively for Mark, and is unique in a
number of aspects compared to other modern surf mats". The inspiration
for the MT Series came from the good ol' Aussie Surfoplane from the
1930s. Larger outside I-beams for directional stability and built in
concave which we were using in our surfboard designs at the time and
still are.<br />
The MT Series was developed in collaboration with Dale over a period 5 years. I designed the the MT5 in April 2005. It represents 1000s of hours of surf time testing and 100s of hours of phone calls with Dale discussing surfmat design. People need to remember that Dales mats for us Aussies back then where very expensive at $550AUD with life 7 to 9 months of hard surf time. <br />

<br />
My favourite surfboard designs are 20 inches wide which is
the same as the MT5. I had ridden 4GFs for 15 years and I knew their
limitations and I wanted more performance from my mats. The MT5 was the
break through design and I was able to go places on a wave I had only
ever dreamed of before. The <a href="http://www.kryptsurf.com/SURFMAT.htm">Series III</a> double coated bottom MT5's adhesion to the wave thru controlled surface tension is another level of innovation again.<br />
<br />

<b>How did the decision to mass produce the MT5 come about? </b><br />
A few years ago my son Daniel and I where getting a lot of recognition
in Japan. Daniel for his amazing surfing ability and me for advanced
surfboard designs and construction. Our friends in Japan where frothing
over the mats I was riding because of their incredible speed and they
wanted to get some. I had also been doing surf trips into the then
relatively unexplored regions of Taiwan chasing typhoons and scoring
epic waves. During one of my trips, the universe opened up a golden path
in front of me and through a series of random chance meetings and
contacts, I took a leap of faith and made a spontaneous decision to put a
life time of surfing experience and hydrodynamic knowledge into the
hottest high performance product I possibly could…...and put my trust in
the universe. Thus, the MT5 is my gift to humanity to bring joy into
the hearts of as many people as possible.We need as many people as
possible on mats in the ocean activating their DNA and vibrating the
universe on a higher frequency with love and joy to offset the negative
low vibrational energy of others. <br />
<br />
<b>Do you intend to manufacture a range of different models of MT surf mats? </b><br />
I'm super happy with the current Series IV fabrics and, if the worlds
financial system holds together, I have plans for a Junior Series mat, the JT5, inspired by my grandsons Jake Ryan and Hunter and a larger
version, the MT5+5 for the bigger boys!
<br />
<br />
<b>What do you see as the future of surf mats?</b><br />
That’s a secret I can not share with you just yet!!!!<br />
