That 5′11″ Blackbird squash tail is money. Stoked.

We won the contest at Trestles. Thanks,

Ryan Briggs

The boards are phenomenal.

I’ve never experienced anything like this.

I have a permanent smile on my face.

I will forever have all my boards built through Todd. You have a lifetime commitment with me. They all have their own personality. One day me and the wife will come out and meet the two of you. I thank you for your personal service and MUST shake Todd’s hand.

You definitely get what you pay for. Bells was head high to head high and a half.

The G-4.E and the Blackbird (KooKoo Bird)

had me thinking I was a seasoned pro.

Anyway aloha from down under. Be in touch soon.

P.S.  People are trippin’ out on these boards. Have gave out your number to about 5 blokes. That’s what you call traveling advertisement. Give Todd an Attaboy.

Hi Todd,

I just wanted to tell you how great the new Blackbirds are going.  I have ridden them a few times since getting them last weekend and besides being soooo beautiful, they are

every bit as fast and maneuverable as the original I got

over 2 years ago (that is still going strong).

My wife got a little bugged when I had the blue one on her side of the bed the first night I got it, but she put the ax down on that quickly.

I know I say this over every board I get from you, but I think if I had to pick just one board to ride forever, the Blackbird would be it!

It just makes me feel like a super hero -

tail free hits, airs, slides, you name it, the board does it. It is exactly like your description and takes your surfing to the next level.  So highly recommended to anyone going for the next level with their surfing!

Thanks again for all you do.

You truly are a master craftsman!

I’ll send pics soon.  I hope you are scoring on this unending NW smorgasbord we are getting.

God Bless,

Paul Pence

Hi Todd!

Howz it going? It took a few sessions to get a good feel of the board but we need waves for that as well which have not been consistent over here. Yes this board is defiantly for advanced riders,

it turns on a dime with very little effort.

Tail slide, tail wips, airs and quick snaps

this board can do it all.

Still working on my airs but this board is the one to use. I took it out last Sunday when we got the good size west swell and

it responded well on a 6ft+ beach break condition.

Great job on the board Todd! Thanks!
