How are surfing mats constructed? Of what materials? I would like to make one for myself surfing as Greenough. Thank you for a very fine website.
Hi Arnaud, and apologies for my tardy reply.
I too would like to know how to make a surf mat? Possibly rubber sheet or rubberised material and some kind of glue, but what glue ?.. and how do they do the curves and add the handles and the pizzle to blow into ?
I wouldnt even know where to start but it would be cool to try it. Theres a lot of possibilities for planshape and thickness too.
Maybe a solid deck with a flexible hull or
a solid hull and flexible deck.
Maybe flexible front rocker but with a rigid back half for consistent drive or the other way around , theres certainly a great area of experimentation with mats.
Thanks for the question.
