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
