| 207278 | 10035 | Surf Mats... What's the Deal? | 43 | jory | May 14, 2021 | 2021-05-14T10:20:23-0400 | Skusty said: i've been loving my mat but definitely got it with the idea that it would be my small wave summer rider. while i'm finding that it does need a bit more oomph to the wave to really get it rolling i am absolutely loving it. i might need to pick up a paipo for the summer though its all good and fun as long as its wet and salty (and preferably sunny) Click to expand... I've got a 4th gear flyer but I haven't used it for ages. Should really give it another chance. I only ever tried it on small days and struggled to get into waves plus we often have short period wind swell and it was hard to swim it out back. Probably user error I'm sure. had that Paipo ( or belly board if you're English ) for a couple of years. Super easy to swim under waves and will catch stuff that's too small for a log even. It's super fun on a dumpy shore break wave. You feel like you're flying at Mach speed and it's great for pulling into close out shore break barrels. this isn't me ( & they're quality waves ) but you get the idea! https://www.instagram.com/p/CNzOTN3nLgO/?igshid=ap8so7mkpbwo |
