Opie rides a Mat!
Found this snap shot at my mom's house.
Mom's a tech-no-maven so I used her scanner. Neat!
Judging from the shrubbery I would say this is 61 or 62.
I would drag the mat out as far as I could at the Huntington Beach pier, turn it around and scream straight in to the beach!
Learned about turning and shoulders much later.
Since then I have also learned to open my eyes, loose the rope and move a little forward.
On the upside it looks like I'm already using lower inflation.
PS In my possession I have some new photos of a world class mat rider taken by a world class photographer. Haven't had time to develop the full post yet. But it's coming!

Prana- care to try for a trestles session sometime this summer? Also, looking forward to good shots of mat surfing.
With another Bday right around the corner! Trestles / Cottons is always a good plan. Now I wish the Marines still tried to keep people out!
You're not old! People in their 80s would kick us for saying so. Seriously, I want people to cut out that old talk. One of my mottos is "Healthy at 100".
Beats my old motto, "Wormfood by 97!" Seriously, aging is such a large and multifaceted topic I can't begin to do it justice in a blog entry.
