Hi Todd and Charissa,

Sorry its taken me so long to get back to you with feedback on the Monsta step-up. We basically only surfed the wall down on the baja and though it was head and a half to double it is such a mushy wave it was hard to get a good feel for the board.

Last week I finally got to really give it a go on this wedge that rarely goes off but

I managed to catch it on the best day I’ve ever seen there.

Luckily I had a pretty good idea that it was going to be mackin so I brought the step-up and my god what an amazing session.

The drop is super gnarly and

the board handled it like a dream.

It literally felt like I was on a 6″7 or 6″8 for paddle ability but then when a turn section would materialize it would just blast off the lip and felt more like the 6″3 it is but with so much control.

I can literally go full throttle where as before if I pushed my board that hard I’d lose it.

The session blew my mind and

I just sat on the beach after full of froth.

Thanks once again for making me an unreal board. I’m so happy with it. I tell all my friends about you guys and I’d expect a few more orders coming from up here on Van isle. Have a good weekend talk to you later!

Hi There

Well the board was awesome.  I ended up spending a week + at san onofre .

Had so much fun and the board performed awesome.

I got back to Antigua last night  unfortunately board-less as the airline seems to have misplaced the board.

Anyhow ,  thanx again for that piece of art. I really enjoyed riding it over the last few weeks.

If i don’t get the board returned I will re-order

another as it was just a amazing ride.

hey charissa.

the trip was awesome and the new sticks were great.

we had some freak swells roll into the island area and found ourselves among some decent surf for most of the trip.

I miss the island so much already and am planning to
go back within a couple weeks.

if possible can you send some proctor stickers our way?
the bigger the better.

Hello charissa, hello Todd!

I’m letting you know that I got the new board this week. Package was top notch and the board arrived in 1 piece.
For your future customers I sincerely think that you
should warn them about your surfboards.

I missed almost 2 days of work since I received mine.

It rides so good it’s just not sane…

I’ve never had a board so responsive, nervous and fun to ride. Ever get the feeling to just scream after landing a trick because it feels sooo good?
Well this is how I feel just about every 2 minutes spent in the water. My boss sent someone to pick me up at my favorite spot today to take me out of the water, I’m forced to work now.

I could not be more pleased!
