@arthang1 / @trixxieland called for an impromptu art hang at @mikehessbrewing and so here I am sketching

I went to OB for “The Meeting of the Mats” put on by @lowerpowered & @yuccafins — I bought a surf mat from @packrattrecords before the summer. I struggled with the thing this morning but I have mucho positive vibes for inflatable surf mats. My earliest memory of being in the surf is on top of a canvas mat next to my dad just south of Crystal Pier. I was probably 3 or 4 and it was my pop setting me up to ride waves. Lots of fun and super fun feelings this morning around several dozen mat riders #surfmat #stoke #surf
