Hey Charissa, this is Luciano.  It was great meeting the both of you, I
feel truly blessed.

BTW, that Big Chief/Greased Pig fusion

worked wonders yesterday!!!

It paddles like a dream, I can get into waves

SSSOOOO much easier

and although it took me about ten waves

to get used to it, IIITTT RRRIIIIPPPSSS!!

I was shocked, actually, at the “feel” this board has, I know it has a lot to do with the tail shape and extra width, along with the double concave and the rail geometry======

MAGICAL!!!

Thanks again, LS

Dear Charissa,

I am attaching a couple of pictures of me surfing my Big Chief in Santa Catalina, one of Panama´s most renowned breaks.

The wave offers plenty of punch, and it suits the board really well. This is just the second time I ride this board, we haven´t had much luck with swells this year, and I still have to get it a bit more wired, but I can already tell you that the ride with this board felt like the right balance between maneuverability and control.

I was able to place it all over the face of the wave,

even got a little barrel (second photo I was just coming out)with a lot of ease.

The construction is great,

I am pretty rough on boards and  this one

took my 240 pounds of body weight right in the

middle of the deck in a couple of wipeouts

without a single pressure ding.

Again, my congratulations for a great product and great service.

Talk to you soon,

Dear Charissa,

I received my new board yesterday, October 12. I am extremely pleased.

It is a beautiful board.

Todd made exactly what we discussed

in our phone conversation.

You guys are a pleasure to deal with

and I look forward to giving you feedback from both Maine and Costa Rica. Of course, the surf is flat here today !

Pura Vida,

Dear Charissa,

Just a quick line to let you know that

the board got here OK, and

I LOVE IT.

Please pass along my congrats to Todd.

The craftmanship is incredible.

I was able to take it with me to a quick trip last weekend. Although the waves were not that big and short on power,

it was loose and easy to turn and

getting into waves is so easy.

Can´t wait to take it out in bigger surf.

Keep up the good work, I have been telling my buddies all about it.

Take care,

Luis Rodriguez, Panama

Todd, Charissa and Crew,

Just wanted to thank you guys for the new board,

it really is a work of art.

Great job with the packing (it took me about 15 minutes to get it out) and once it was out I wasn’t sure if I should wax it or hang it on my wall as art, thankfully I didn’t choose the latter.  The package came about an hour before I was headed to the jersey shore so it worked out well.  As luck would have it the summer swells have been pretty decent here in jersey but this past weekend with new board in hand it was virtually flat.  I was able to grab a couple knee high swells but obviously not enough to really get a feel for the board.  What I can say is that

the thing really paddles great

in fact I found it just as, if not easier,

to catch a wave on my 7′ 2″ Big Chief

than on my 7’10″ funboard, very impressive

so I can only imagine how she will surf.  Being a tradesman myself I can really appreciate the overall quality of the board and

it just seems to have soul,

something that is lacking in many industries.

Having gone through some difficult times as of late I look to embrace anything that puts a smile on my face, your board truly did, and I’m sure it will bring many more in the future.
Thanks again.
Best Wishes,
