George Greenough Discussing Surf Mats
Some good points from George. He says that 2ft wave is overhead when you are on a mat. Would this mean 4ft is double overhead? (if you are horizontal). Tripple overhead on a 6 footer, Quadripple on 8 footer...This can get out of control pretty fast.
But at the same time it is a perfect instrument for scientific observations of tiny liquid glass structures on a clean sunny day. And indeed, they are the most compact surf vehicle from transportation point of view.
