I don't think so due to the "sensation unseen" phenomena you mention. So without Hollywood surf movies, contests and major media (mater and mating magazines)mating will continue to be a underground sport.

I haven't seen mat footage (in my limited exposure) that has ever tempted me to try it. But that's you're point, it's about how it feels, period. Who cares about how others see it as long as you feel it. It's the same thing with a sponge and how much of a complex there is with riding one if you're a stand-up. I've never cared what people ride (okay, kites and kayaks can get to me). I rode a boogie board two summers ago after I don't know how many years. Nice hot summer day and hollow shorebreak...it was so much fun. So, why did I feel weird about it?jbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03939685941722126149noreply@blogger.com
