It’s exactly what I was looking for in terms of versatility

Hey Charissa and Todd,

Hope you are both doing well.

Just wanted to let you guys know how much I’ve loved the 5’9″ monsta you shaped for me.

It’s exactly what I was looking for in terms of versatility.

I’ve only ridden it a couple times in very mediocre Leo and 3rd point thus far so excited to see how it feels in better waves.  Speaking of better waves, I’m currently en route to Salina Cruz, which should be pretty perfect testing grounds.  Ill definitely write you again with a more detailed report after some sessions down there.

Thanks again for all the help and the gorgeous board!
