So you think you are a surf mat afficionado do you? Well, who is this and how did the taking of the pics come about. PG you are ineligible from this one! Oh damn! That might be a bit of a hint?
Is it PG? I can't see the face very well. I've seen pics of him with a righteous moustache. I don't know about those sideburns though. Hmmm, I'll just say it's PG.
Hot Damn! These two pics are a collective cross-section of my earliest mat memories! Most likely the pic(s) were taken by Woody Woodworth at a place that will remain nameless for now. You're looking at stock Hodgman mats with recessed Roberts valves, radically modified by the likes of Woody and John Parks. These "Woody rafts" were often double-canvassed, and had small rear-mounted stablizer fins attached. As for the second pic of the sole rider, it could be one a handful of Bandel's, JP, Tracy Dier, Pandy? Too many players back then! Your provider and protector of CdM mat folklore, Okemah.
If anyone has the 3rd pic too that would be great!

ReplyDeleteSorry SS. No it isn't PG. Good try though!
ReplyDeleteThis is the guy that had fins glued to his mat, way back in the day.....
