Hey Mark
Thanks again, I'm wrapped with the board and the experience.
I'll contact you soon to organise another session for when it suits you.
I've attached some photos of the board.
Thank you Mark for a beaut product. Very happy 👌🏻with them.
Hi Mark,
The balsa arrived an hour ago from Sydney to New Zealand in 24 hours. We couldn't believe how quickly it made it here. Brilliant!
Looks like the perfect weight and quality for our needs. Expect more orders next year.
Cheers

Hi Mark,
Thank you for all your guidance, support in helping me achieve the making of the Balsa board, I really appreciated the detailed instructions and getting an understanding of the components that made up the board.
The display was amazing, and I got a lot of questions and interest in the design and build process. I also scored a high grade for the project!
Thanks again,
Amelie
Hey Mark, thanks for the speedy response. It showed up shortly after I sent the email. Apologies for that. Everything looks great and I can’t believe how quickly you got it to the USA. Definitely will be a repeat client. Have a great week. 🤙🏼

Sorry mate I have been that busy . I had to leave it with his wife he was out . He absolutely loved it.
He said he wasn’t going to surf it, it is to good, I told him to get on it asap .
I told him we need some feed back hahahhahaha .
His going to call you soon, he absolutely loves it . Thank you so much
I will get a photo handing over asap also . Your the best mark I appreciate it so much.
When I ordered this custom build, I did not expect this to exceed my expectations. This is the best board I have ever ridden and bought for over 50 years. I used the thruster setup and it was easy to paddle and catch waves. Very responsive on the bottom turn and cutbacks. It felt good under the arm, paddling, sitting and also ripping. This has brought on a new drive and passion to want to get out there on these cool mornings. Thanks Mark
Happy with his new board! Thanks heaps Mark - took it for a spin on 3ft currumbin Beachy and it was magic.
Wow!!!.
Aloha Mark.
You are a talented artist.
That may be the most beautiful balsa gun I have ever seen, and I have seen more than most.
I almost subscribed to the mag, but it is a bad idea, me being on Kauai etc.
Congratulations and mahalo for sending it to me, Be well.

Thanks Mark. Board sitting @ 50m from line up, but probably won’t make it off the wall. Wife Gaby likes it so it’s a win. Cheers. Bruce

I thought I should give you some more feedback on my 10’ gun you made: I’ve ridden it a few times now, probably 2.5 - 3 X head height is the largest I’ve taken it out in yet. It is by far my favourite board
The only time it’s been to a point was once at The Pass at about double head height. It did exactly what one would expect of a quality gun: Straight line speed and predictable turns. It has a surprisingly tight cut-back also.
All the rest of the time it’s been surfed in considerably less accommodating beach break on the outer banks at Surfers Paradise. Which is what I bought it for, and it beats expectations: I love it totally: On waves I wouldn’t dare drop into on my others boards, I can slot the rail comfortably into the steepest face and just choose where I want to go when I want to got there. On top of which it is super-responsive at any speed. And on really dirty days, the pronounced entry rocker lets me surf some ugly lumps on the face without pearling and sending me pole-vaulting like I do on my other boards on the same waves. If I had to strip my quiver down to only one board, this it.
Further to which it’s stunning to look at. Not that I find it important at all, but it’s tickling to note that when I’m walking back home from the surf I’m stopped all the time by people wanting to chat about the board.
And my favourite aspect about this board is its environmental sustainability. Maximum respect Mark: You’ve ticked all the boxes as far as I’m concerned.

First two waves on the board were captured on film
Surfed like a dream
Was everything I expected and more - thanks Gene
Mark did an amazing job with creating a custom long board, which is not only beautiful but also performs well. It's so impressive that the board is even worth being displayed on the wall as an art piece.
It has exceeded my expectations! Thanks to Mark for providing such a remarkable long board.
Surfed the new board today. A couple of waves to get used to it but then had a few crackers. Lots of volume and a different feel to wax. Totally stoked with it and looks amazing
