Hi Colin.

Wow. I just got my 8'6" secret weapon shaped by steve (the yellow/orange one sent to Island Longboards, Qualicum Beach, BC) and my first day out was awesome. What a board! The beach break at Cox Bay was 15' plus, The Secret Weapon not only paddles superbly but is light underfoot and ultra manueverable, this in spite of having some weight to it.

The V Cluster system is unreal, unlike anything I've ridden. Super loose, unhindered, yet tight, controlled, predictable I've never riden a board with that combo of paddlability and maneuverability. It felt so light underfoot, yet solid too.

It's a true work of art.

Thanks,
