Dear CWB,

It is me, TackleBerry. I just wanted to say Thank You for the great gear that you guys been bringing us for the last few years. I gots to try a few new boards today, the '08 Marius has some supersized pop to it, and it lands softly like a big bunch of pillows. But most of all I likes me the Faction board alot. It kicks like a Jet Li movie, lands really soft, and has the best edge/tracking control that I have ever experienced.

The big problem is that I have been riding an Absolute Platinum for the past 3 years and I really like the snap that the Platinum core boards give off the wake. I would like to humbley request that you press some Platinum Faction models (especially the 144, I am a big boy) for us goofballs who like the Faction shape and the flex pattern of the Platinum core. Please, for the sake of all humanity, make this happen, and I will never ask another favor of you as long as I live (or next year, whichever comes first).

Thanks you - TackleBerry.

P.S. Steve Bates is very sexy, I think you should give him a big raise so that he can get his kids haircuts.

Tack, I've heard that same statement from many a mouth. I also asked Bates last year & he said it wasn't gonna happen. Too bad too, that board is off the hook.

Chuck! Missed getting to hang with you alot this year, how ya been brutha?!

Heavy - The idea was(is) to get a bunch of us on board with this idea so that C-Dub would change thier minds (pity/fear) and actually press some Platinum decks...

I thinks Chuck, Heavy, BBR, and Tack should gets together and ride us some Faction this winter!

Tack, don't you worry about Chuck, he's been working on his own little slice o' heaven. And let me tell you...it's NICE!!

I think some winter riding is in order. I decided to take a little time off for now, but will get back on it soon.

Brandon & Chuck were touting the Faction to me & I finally rode it, granted I rode it finless for the slider but I could tell how well it popped. I really want to try it with fins, I was impressed as it was.
