The old rectagular surfmats are fantastic but what if someone did something different ?
Part of the art of mat riding is evenly distributing your weight over the mats area to create an even layer of air to ride on, but why not pull in the front of the mat so you only need one arm forward to cover the area ?
And why not reduce the area / bouyancy in the tail to reduce slipping on a steep face ? So I'm doing a swallow tail too.
First create a paper planshape to transfer to the material.
Funny thing about getting the right material, Ive used a few "waterproof" fabrics and I'm sure they are, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are able to handle pressuried air.
Best way to cut the fabric...scalpel, and a steady hand.
