MATSURFERS.COM NEWS - Jan/Feb 2021
Ahoy there Matters of the World!
Firstly, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Yes, a bit late we know, on the first day of Spring, but here is the first Newsletter of 2021. It has been a quiet start to the Year in some ways and and incredibly sad one in others. It has also been very busy for us
SAD NEWS
Earlier this month we received the aweful news that one of mat surfing’s most stoked riders, Rob Polloard passed away. We were devastated to hear this news. Rest in Peace Rob.
GOOD NEWS!
Our Staff member, Mr Jamie McClellan has had some news. He has a new addition to the family! Welcome to the World Wren Fletcher Tatum McClellam! Good to see they’re getting the kid socialised to the good things in life early on.
Congratulations and love to Jamie, Tatum and Lennox. We’re so stoked for you!
JEREMY GROSVENOR HITS THE MAINSTREAM
Imagine our surprise when we came across this piece in the New Yorker magazine. We weren’t surprised to see Jeremy doing his bit for his local community though. An exceptional waterman and all round lovely fella, Jeremy surfed non-stop dawn to dark to raise money for his local foodbank.

Ken McKnight did a fascinating Here & Now interview with Jeremy a few years ago which is well worth a read.
His contribution to the Phileas Project is also well worth a watch:
Well done Jeremy. Love you man!

Here’s our video of the month for Feb. Steamer Lane in Santa Cruz being occupied. The revelution is upon us!
PHOTO OF THE MONTHS - (JAN & FEB)
Without doubt the face that sums up why we do this thing we do. Let’s remember Rob this way.
So that’s your lot. Sorry again for the lateness. We will try to be more punctual moving forwart.
As always, we welcome your feedback and contributions.
Thanks
