The Inaugural Krypt Surf Technology Surf Mat Tube of the Year Challenge!

Attention all Mat Riders and Photo/videographers.
You are invited to send in a series of images or video footage of any great surf mat tube rides that you have captured already or may capture through 2012.
Entries close on the 1st of December 2012 and all contributions will be posted up on YouTube to a specially created playlist on my channel.
At the end of the year I will run a poll here on Magic Carpet Ride from the closing date until the 31st of December to give as many people as possible a reasonable amount of time to vote for the tube ride that they like the best.
The winning video will be announced on the 1st of January 2013.
Mark Thomson has generously offered 2 Krypt MT5 surf mats for the winning entry. One each for the rider and the photo/videographer.
Send your image, series of images (preferably as a slideshow) or a URL to your video footage to me at ramsnake53@gmail.com and I will get it on to YouTube for everybody to check out.
So start getting yourselves organised and pray for the best surf ever in 2012 where ever you may choose to ride waves.
Email either myself or Mark at info@kryptsurf.com if you would like more information.

Usually on a kneeboard Eric borrowed usually on a kneeboard Adam's Krypt MT5 and got this great little tube. Adam was able to catch the moment on his camera as he had chosen to sit the session out as the poor buggar was knackered from surfing the day before. Lucky for the both of them as so far they are the only ones in the running to score a a new surf mat each!

Featuring rider Adam Williams and photog Paul "Oily" Newman!

Another entry from Adam Williams and the camera guy is Paul "Oily" Newman, who again got out of the water especially to take some pics of Adam doing his thing!

Eva Darcy on a delicious wave at Nias and I have a feeling the photog might have been a Nias local. I will try to find out.

Voit saviour and bodysurfing legend Greg Deets shows his form on a surf mat. The photog was Jeff Bell and the location.................? Shitpipes in LA!

So here again is that incredible footage of Chad Barba at the Wedge. It has been beautifully re-edited by the owner of the footage, a Wedge institution himself, John Minar. Make sure you do yourself a big favour and watch it in HD! My apologies to John for initially infringing his copyright. My sincere thanks to both MT and John for negotiating the footage extraction and re-edit. It would have been a great shame if this footage had not been a part of the competition this year. The closing date has been extended another two weeks until the 14th of December so get those last minute entries in and then we can get down to the voting! Here are another couple more pics from the same session courtesy of John.
