You can get it from Clarks
First see if you can get a small peice or a mat ect. Fish while standing on it for a day and you may well save a bit of coin. I have tried most things except cork and always go back to flowtex style carpet. That rubber tubing style flooring is hard on your feet if you have to stand on it all day.IMO
So tell me have you got your info from years on the water or hours on the internet?

The other thing i forgot to mention
if you go down the tube matting route take the time to run around the edge of it and put silicon into every end of the tubing. Takes a little bit of time but it the best way of keeping it smelling nicer and stops extra weight from trapped water.

Vinylite
I looked into it as well and found Matting Solutions in Myaree to be the best price.
They also have another product called Heronair which you may like as well.
Here is a link, scroll down to the bottom of the page.

Used to sell a similar
Used to sell a similar product to pro fishers, similar in the sensation that the profile was the same, but it was solid and not hollow so there was no smell.
bit uncomfortable on bare feet for long times so we have carpet.

Vynalite
Was considering that option for my project......believe one of the popular brands is known as Vynalite. Found a website called matworld that had a dealer in Bibra lake I think. I have decided to go with carpet though.
