Welcome To Essential Surfmatters



We've boiled 12 years of Surfmatters down to 45 essential postings, and we're presenting it in a new blog called "Essential Surfmatters."

In effect, it's our mat surfing time machine!

As always, the original Surfmatters blog will continue to be an evolving document, well worth staying in touch with. But if you're looking for either a quick start to matting, or just a review of our past 12 years, this is the place to begin.


Thanks for checking in!
