Shaper, cinematographer, mat riding master and designer

Mark Thomson is one of the mat riding world's most colourful and seemingly divisive characters and you can find out a little about what else he has done in his life here.
A mat rider for over 30 years he first shot to prominence in the mat riding world when Hydrodynamica posted this 2005 footage in 2009 stunning all who watched it!
Little did we know that two years later he would unleash the first mass produced surf mat on the world causing an extraordinary degree of angst and comment which still goes on today! The following footage shows you the first mass produced mat is the real deal!
