I like to keep it fresh mate. You get a different, flatter feel with it. Nice glide as long as you make it a free-breather.
It's an addition. I really like the 3 pontoon design and think it's much more versatile, but it's nice to be able to change it up.

All done.
I'm pretty pleased with this. A free-breathing, 4 pontoon mat with A respectful nod towards the Neumatic Advanced.
I've had some fantastic pointers from PG on corners which are clearly improved.
Onshore slop on Friday... Bring it on!!!

How does that configure as 4 pontoons? Are the two outer pontoons one big pontoon?
Whats the size compared to 4GFs? Really like the colour.

Well, think of a 4GF. They have 3 pontoons with stabilizing I-beams in each to flatten them. This has 2 pontoons like that on the rails. The middle has 3 I-beams all of equal heights which give 2 smaller round pontoons up the middle of the mat.
Just rode it in bumpy high tide Widdy with Henry and it went great.
I'm really glad I rounded up the front corners. There were a couple of times I think the rail would have caught. Tail seems good too. I was worried about slipping but it held well once I adjusted to being on a different mat. I meant to try it backwards but forgot!

This mat is going soooooo well!!!! Had a fun session this evening and had a few needing a bit more air. Made loads of hold and turned nicely. Very happy.
