Dear Todd/Charissa

I felt compelled to write you guys again regarding the work of art that is my board. Today the surf report was 2-3ft knee to chest with a light NW wind.

I have never experienced what I have on the Pavote today in any of my time surfing.

In weak clean small lines I was

pulling roundhouse cutbacks with snaps

and fins free re-o’s or buttery floaters to top it all off.

One word to describe the pavote: HOLD.

I never felt off balance in even the most angled/vertical maneouvers,

it’s like your body tells the board what it wants, then the board picks the best path on the wave.

Overall, very impressed, all 3 of the boards have been nothing short of magic. Thank you both very much and I can’t wait for the next one.
