Collaborate on your new custom surf mat

Your new Warpmats custom surf mat is a personally customised wave riding craft. The design and construction from start to finish is collaboration that starts with a conversation. Together we'll discuss dimensions and what sort of features you'd like to see in your new surf mat. Your experience and the type of waves you surf also contributes to the design.

Design

For all new builds the process begins by speaking to Matt. Every build is handmade in his workshop in Cornwall in the United Kingdom.

Inflatable wave riding craft are ridden at low inflation. As such the elements of design are nuanced and differ between riders - we all bring different bodies and experience to the ride. With Matt you'll discuss the design elements specific to your needs and interests including length, width, rail shape, bottom contour and volume.

Material

Fully dyed custom mats use a 70 denier nylon for both deck and hull. The material is tough and lightweight making a surf mat that is compliant, responsive and fast.

Colour

Custom dyed mats are hand-dyed by Ian in his shed in Sligo on the northwest coast of Ireland.

The base material we use is a white. Solid colours can be aimed for but we're not a factory with a colour-matching service. The techniques and apparatus Ian uses for dyeing are as custom as your mat so the results are unique. He excels at creating unique, abstract artwork that comes alive when you're in the water.

Grip

The grip applied to acid-dyed mats is transparent; It is a tough, UV-resistant, compound designed for marine use that is soft and flexible.

The grip jobs are all done individually by hand. Different patterns balance enough traction without compromising the mat's responsiveness. Different styles require different techniques. We continue to develop our ideas to balance traction and compliance without compromising performance.
