Surf Mats: Beginner's Guide

When riding a surf mat one may think to ride it as if it was a bodyboard, but according to the video below that's the wrong way to do it. The surf mat is basically one big bag full of air that the rider can fully adjust to their liking. This provides the user of the surf mat the opportunity to fully customize the way that he/she would like to ride. If you want more speed and drive you will want a less inflated surf mat.

We here at Ok Shoots believe that a true Waterman is someone that can ride anything and enjoy riding it on any day and at anytime. Which is why we usually hashtag our posts on Instagram #RideEverything. Enjoy the first video which is a basic intro to using a surf mat produced by the friendly crew over at Wet Sand Surf Shop.
