Hey, just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that I love my Secret Weapon!!  I'm 51 yrs.old and have been surfing for 6 years - always on long boards, 9 to 9 1/2 feet.  Wanted something different, tried a few retro fish and eggs - too hard to paddle and catch waves (compared to the longboard)....just didn't increase my fun factor.  Saw an 8'0' Secret Weapon at my local surf shop (Sweet Water, Wilm., NC) and decided to give it a try. It paddles like a dream, catches waves easily and turns great........bottom line IT DOES WHAT YOU GUYS SAID IT WOULD!!!!!  My wave count is high and fun factor is outstanding, my biggest problem now is that all my longboard buddies want to ride it - they need to get their own!!  Just wanted you guys to know that I think you have a great product, thanks!!
