Boyd riding his magic mattress

Mat riding is more fun than a barrel of monkeys, and in this movie we can see why, but it takes a while to get the hang of these floppy air bags.

Anyone who hates on this has never tried it...one of the purest form of wave sledding 🤙

[@Strandjutter]

Totally agree with that!

[@TinShackVideos]

In the early 70's surf mats were everywhere, they were green on one side and yellow on the other.
....and one of the seams would always blow out and you'd end up with one giant rib and two small ones.....lol

I remember in the 70,sguys were hotdogging on their green canvas & yellow rubber air mats-stand up surfing, when the break was black balled for surfers.

Wayne Lynch rides ones of these nowadays. And nobody can beat his credentials. Good luck to the Old Boys.

I grew up riding those things... they usually either had a confederate flag or a Budweiser logo on them.

Epic ride

[@beepmeep760]

I was like “whens he gonna get barreled?” The entire time

[@WhiteNacho]

I wonder what the optimum air pressure is?

[@daviddefigueiredo6018]

Nice wave! Where are you Boyd? Had many a surf and a chat on land at Wategos back in the day
