STOCK SURFMATS
The G-Mat RFT Series is a project to bring the very highest technical specifications usually limited to custom surfmats to the production mat market. These Surfmats are designed by G and built by Tom Jennings in his workshop in Cornwall, UK.. We are excited to be able to bring these mats to you and plan to expand our range over time.
The RFT Series are sold through third party vendours or available direct through Tom at the G-Mat RFT workshop.
For trade and direct sales enquiries contact Tom at gmat.rft@gmail.com

G-Mat RFT Surfmat
The RFT is based on the G-Mat Ute. Built with exactly the same materials this mat is the perfect all-round surfmat, performing well in summer slop to overhead solid winter conditions. The RFT is available in three sizes to meet the needs of almost anyone. Also in two different deck weights with coloured deck options available:
200/70 - 200 denier nylon deck and 70d internal structures and bottom skin. Restricted ‘wheezer’ internal air flow for the most stable all-round ride with good hold on the wave face.
70/70 - 70 denier nylon deck and 70d internal structures and bottom skin. Restricted ‘wheezer’ internal air flow for maintaining predictable handling. More sensitive and maleable for increased glide and a looser ride.
Concave and "free" rocker to maximize down the line speed and responsive turning.
Textured deck grip. Mini-Boston style valve allows for easy inflation control in the water.
SIZE GUIDE:
S (Up to 5'8”), M (5'8" - 6'2”), L (6'2"+)
(Slim build or long legs? Knock an inch off your height. There is an overlap between sizes. Smaller mats will help larger riders in solid waves and larger mat will give more glide in softer waves)
G-Mat RFT Mini Surfmat
The G-Mat RFT Mini surfmat was created to combine the experience of mat surfing with bodysurfing. These mats are made in exactly the same way as full size G-Mats. The RFT Mini has been tested in small, fun surf to solid wedges and has proven itself to be very fast and responsive. With a little practice you can lower the inflation to really maximise that mat glide.
These are so much fun giving a new experience to both matters and bodysurfers alike.
200 denier nylon deck and 70 denier internal structures and bottom skin.
Light application of Sikaflex EBT+ deck grip.
Concave and flat rocker to maximize down the line speed.
Un-Modified Boston Valve with the membrane left in which allows for sensitive inflation control. This mini-mat fills up with about 3 breaths! 2 large breaths are usually just right for optimal inflation.
One size fits all.
