Not really much to say right now, I cut / shaped the concave into the deck as shown. I glassed it with a single layer of 4 oz cloth. But I didn’t fill coat and finish the modification, as a variety of life issues took priority and I had to put this on the backburner for awhile. Hopefully get back to it soon, it doesn’t need much to get it ready for a second trial run.

I hope to read about the second trial run soon.
Will you add anything (EVA, Gryptalite) for surface traction/grip?

One of the things I really like about the air mat is that you can keep the underinflated. I saw a video where GG shows how much he inflates his mat and it led me to do something similar. The nice thing with the underinflated mat is that you can constantly change the shape as you ride to get the most out of the wave. I could pull up one edge to make the mat stiffer. My mats are the small canvas very inexpensive type the outdoor sports store used to sell. I paid about $11 per mat and I still have one that is brand new, one has a leak so I have to keep blowing it up, and one that was fine when I last used it.
