I recently purchased your 9'6" Cluster Surfboard in the SurfTech Epoxy model. Buying an $800 board sight unseen is somewhat scary, but between your e-mails and the advice your shop gave me, plus researching your web-site, I felt fairly confident.

After having had the opportunity to take it out in this last swell with head-high waves I want to tell you how pleased I am! The board does everything you say it does and it is becoming my all-time favorite board. Friends have ridden it, and now they are impressed, also. I think in the not-too-distant-future you will have a few more orders from Ventura. I will remember your advice to 'detune' the board in bigger waves by using a bigger center fin. Any additional thoughts?
