Cassette feedback


while exiting the water the lifeguards rolled up and were all over the board- "what's that, where d'ya get it- we seen ya out there on the nose every wave" 

type thing- I'm starting to think we should have just sprayed the web address on the board, but then I wouldn't be getting to meet all these nice enquiring folk, 

would I? 

Hope your enjoying your time away- will catch up soon.


Ciaran.

P.s We spent the weekend up at Saunton and scored perfect waist high glass at mid tide on Friday- the board went sic!!!! Same thing there, bumped into a lot of the 

local mal riders I know from competing up that way some years ago and there attention was soon taken up by the Cassette. One guy even had a go and paddled 

back out grinning his head off- saying "this is the perfect Saunton board!"- I would have to agree.

Jekyll feedback

Hi Steve.
Well I finally got to surf the Jeckyl in some decent (ish) 3 foot waves down here. It went fantastically well and given that it's been probably 6 or 7 years since I surfed a shorter board in this country I was amazed by the ease with which it caught waves. Fast and manouverable but mainly fast...bloody fast. It's one of those rare boards that you can see the future potential of as soon as you surf it. Three hours of thrashing the weak southern summer water to a pulp and I still wanted to keep going. Splendid stuff. I gave it a friend for twenty minutes and he was knocked out by it ( and not just the looks of it although I regularly get stopped by people who love the finish of the board).
Anyway to sum up.
Great design works aesthetically and achieves it's function. A work of art and a marvellous mode of aquatic transport.
Many thanks.
Regards. John

Thanks John
