In go the I beams with a thin coat of glue. The margins that I'm glueing together are 1 inch wide, sounds slim but when I did the Materials Testing the fabric always rips apart before the glue gives way. In fact this glue has never failed over 5 years of making mats.
First glue, and then roll out any air bubbles, too easy.
I'm really going to be able to see the water flow under the mat. I don't think Ive seen anyone make a clear mat before ? There's so many new surf mat design Ideas to explore.
For the next Ultimat surf mat I'm experimenting with tapering the I beams to get a different rocker and nose lift.
.
As well as incorporating a Flexible Front Frame.
.
And a few other new surf mat design concepts... Stay tuned.

I would really like to see a pic of that mat in all it's finished glory!
