Jon Johnston / Canada	Hey Mike, Well, the ice finally melted off our lake up here and a got a chance to ride the sweet F-18 you built for me. I gotta tell you the board is awesome. I love the custom artwork you did for my "Half Moon Bay" theme and the board rides as good as it looks! I wanted to ride it before I show it off to some of the shops up here (so I know what I'm talking about). Now I'm ready to spread the word about your boards up here. Just wanted to thank you again and send you a couple photos. The first is my one week old son shredding it up on Dad's new board. The other photo was taken this past weekend when the lake was still about 20% ice! As you can imagine the water was cold so ignore the serious look on my face, I was loving the new board. Cheers! Jon Johnston.
Rob Lingenfelter / Atlanta	Dude! The board is completely sick. I can't believe how fast it is. With my old board it was like I was fighting to keep up with the boat. Now it's like the sweet spot is three times as big. It's completely effortless. I am confident that if I show my board to all the big wakeboard shops in Atlanta, they will be totally interested in what you are doing out there in Cali. Again, thank you so much. Sincerely, Rob Lingenfelter 4.6 Bullet Model. Carbon Tek� Construction
Rich Monson / Indiana	Mike The board got here in plenty of time and she couldn't have been happier. It exceeded my expectations. Thanks for the great service and patience while in the design phase. I'll get you some great pics of Lisa riding it as soon as we can get the boat in for the season.
Marlise Kast / San Diego www.marlisekast.com	Mike, I'm sure you get messages like this relatively often, but I just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying the board you shaped for me. I know it was a bitch for you to shape, due to my issues with the color, your issues with the foam, etc, but it was totally worth it. Dave did some killer art work on the top and bottom and I had it sealed with waxless surf systems. I've taken it out the last few days and I don't want to ride anything else. It snaps great on the turns, rides like a shortboard but catches waves like a longboard. Brilliant. If you ever doubt yourself as a shaper, give me a call and I will remind you why you must go on. Kudos to you.
Matt / NY	Mike - just wanted to give some feedback on the board. Apart from the superior glasswork and the sick pinlines, the board flies. Had it out on a clean, decent sized wave recently and it was sooo fast. Lots of extra float and paddle too. Thanks again for the board.
Ryan Mickelsen / Indonesia
Wendell, New York	Hey Mike, Just wanted to say thanks so much for everything. Someone asked me how the board works and I told them the board is a miracle. I'm still smiling.
Heidi, Texas	I just had to write and tell; FIRST that you really made my friend Denise's night last weekend when you called her. Apparently everyone thought she was talking to a country / rock star; she was sooo giddy about talking to you, the designer of her board. So thank you for doing that, she is a big Mike Walker fan and loves her F-18. Second, I RODE that F-18 yesterday and that best way to describe MINIMALLY is FANTASTIC. I mean, I love my Thresher Shredder. BUT I LOVE that F-18. It was the smoothest and calmest ride I have had on a board, VERY controlled and easy movements and I was showing it no mercy. I will have to send a pic because I could not get over how awesome it was. Jaw was hanging down and I loved every minute of that ride.
Prairie www.GoingOffsurf.com	Just wanted to let you know I rode your 5'6" Twin/wooden keel in contest this weekend and it did awesome! It was super mushy and the board still caught everything I went for. Thanks for putting out such a good product.
Glenn, New York	I just wanted to say thanks for the great customer service and for building such awesome boards. I got the leash and pad you sent me and just wanted to let you know how happy I am with the boards you shaped for me. Today was a pretty crap day here in NY and I was not very optimistic about having a fun session but my 5'9" quad saved the day. After I got out of the water I knew I had to write you and let you know what a difference that board has been making for me. I have a trip to Baja Norte next month and I am hoping to finally get to use the 6'3" M16 quad you shaped me in some good waves. You can be sure that the next board I order will be another Walker! Glenn D
Tom, New York	Just wanted to thank you again for the board, it couldn't be better. This summer hasn't been so kind to us as far as waves go over here on the East Coast, but I finally got to give my X3 a real test the other day and it was amazing. A friend of mine liked it so much he picked up a 6'6" M16 from Marty the night before he left for Bali. He sent me an email yesterday telling me how sick it worked in pumping Bali barrels. Thanks again Tom
Justin F., North Carolina	The boards are working great! Thanks Mike!
Brad C., California	Mike, thanks to YOU my brother, at 39, I'm freakin' myself out with vast improvements in my ability and technique. These boards I actually have to grow into which is such a 'relief' from the usual struggle. Not to toot my own horn, but I've been turnin' some heads on my miracle model X-3 round tail (see photos) in Nicaragua and beyond. People are like, 'Are you Brad Gerlach?', and I'm like 'Naw... just Brad. Put me on the team Mr. Magic Hands and we'll develop a 'Fins Out At 50' model'! Keep the faith and stoke alive!
Dan B., New York	As for the board, the more I look at the board the more impressed I am. The outline is unreal, the rails/tail/nose are unreal, the glassing is unreal, pinlines unreal. The board just looks sick. This is my third walker ( 6.1 twin keel, 7.10 rocket fish, and now 9.6 longboard) and certainly not my last! Thanks for making such an insane board for me. Now all we need is a little juice in the water so I can take it for a spin!
N.B., San Diego	Hi Walker, I've been riding my new 7'2 epoxy speed egg for the past four days, and I want to thank you for making me another great board. It is very responsive; turns easy and I can take off deeper than I used to on my old speed egg. Nice rocker!
Ken W., Texas	This is the HOTTEST BOARD!!! Thanks again Mike.
Matt Doherty, New York	I recently got my second board from you, it was the red thumb tail quad with that white band around the deck. I had it out last saturday in 6-8ft offshore waves, basically as good as it gets around long island and it was sick. It was making such late drops and it was really liking the barrels. I am so stoked on it. You also shaped me a 5'8 quad that i got back in january and yet again, i loved it. Had it out from knee high long island to 6 ft barreling jersey and fun groundswell in puerto rico and it worked amazing in everything. I am so stoked on both of the boards and im sure you'll be hearing from me soon again for a nice semi-gun. Thanks again!
Adam Thomas, New York	Hey Mike, I wanna thank you again for shaping me such a killer board (LTD). Took it out in head high slop yesterday and it flew over flat sections and just made those dumpy, sloppy waves so fun!
Ken Delrossi, New York	Had my Walker Twin Keel out the other day in head high glass. Lots of wind from the speed this thing goes at... Dried my teeth out! LOVE IT!
Jack Brull, New York	My board arrived in pristine condition. Nice work!!- The board is sick- I also really dig the bottom contours. I had it out today in some waist high slop. Not the best surf but it worked great. I am very happy with it. Definitely will be great with winter gear on. I am very stoked and will certainly recommend your board to our brothers on the east coast- You will be hearing from me again next order Thanks again-
Jason Kern, Florida	Walker- Thank you for an incredible board. It has re-invigorated my short boarding life! It performs just as you described it; perfect for the mushy surf we had this past weekend where it held its speed through the flat spots, and sprung up the face when the sections opened up. I love the feel of the diamond tail as it turns on a dime and is incredibly reactive. I hope to utilize The Walker Project again and will definitely refer you to anyone I know searching for a new ride. All the best to you and your company
Ed Sullivan, Ohio	Mike, I rode your wake surfboard again last night. I rode it for about 45 min straight. We slowed the boat down and once I got used to the board � WOW. I probably made three times as many turns riding that board than anything else I�ve ridden � My legs and back are still sore from the work out!.
Johnny McManus, San Diego	Hey, thanks for the deal on that 6.1 I picked up last Monday, surfed north side of Scripps this morn and the backside hits on that thing are so clean! I�m stoked. I know Ryan Schnell and Coco Jones, I guess I�m on x3's from now on.....thanks!!
Mandi Dewees, New Jersey	My boyfriend Mike bought one of your surfboards this summer and he can't stop telling everyone how amazing it is! I believe his friend bought one as well! I watch him surf all of the time and he has never moved so fast, turned so well or had such a huge smile on his face the entire time he's out there, (and for hours/days after)! It is an amazing board and suits him well...so thank you for the entertainment!
Mike, New Jersey	Just wanted to thank you again for the amazing board. I've ridden my Retrofish in everything from 2 foot slop up to 6 foot glass and the board is sick. It has definitely taken my riding to a new level. Thanks!!!
Ken D, New York	Got my 6' twin keel this week. Very happy! It was waist high to nothing today and I still fun. Thanks to the east coast rep and a great board maker. I feel a Walker quad coming on this winter!!!!
Scott Marvin, Florida	Mike finally rode the M16 this board was going mental last night in solid 8-10 foot surf and it felt like I was riding my 6.2 X3!? It was taking the latest drops and liking it. Thanks for all the killer boards!
Adam Thomas, New York	You rule Mike...best customer relations I've ever had on ordering a custom. I'm definitely gonna order a bunch more from you in the near future...those quads are next on my list!
Froi Ascano, San Diego	Love the board. Super fast, super loose and light. The X3 is a perfect board for all conditions. Thanks man! I'm sold!
Jonathan Santos, San Diego	Hey Mike, I just wanted to let you know that the quad you shaped me is insane. The thing just takes off and turns so easy. It took me a couple waves to get used to it, but considering the conditions that first session, I probably should've been bogging and pumping the whole time. And, surprisingly (to me), the hook tail is super easy with the rail to rail transitions. This board is sick. I'm pretty excited about it and definitely want to try out a diamond tail pretty soon.
Martin Brull, New York	Hey Mike, just wanted to thank you for the beautiful 5.4 LTD Twin Keel. The board has far surpassed my expectations. It's so fast and the turning radius is so small. It has performed perfectly in knee high grovel to overhead bowls! It has the flow of a retro board with the capability of high performance turns. I would definitely recommend that everyone own one of your twin keels. Thanks again.
Jimmy B, Florida	I wanted to fill you in on my new board experience. As you know I was hoping to get the board before my honeymoon, which I did just in time. Stoked!!!! My first session on my Walker rocket was in the Dominican Republic on chest high semi choppy surf. The board rode great. The next day waves 4 to 6 glassy perfect point breaks at Enquentros. I put in a smaller skeg fin on my 5.6 rounded pin rocket and let me tell you what, this board rocks. Mike the rounded pin egg shape rockets seem to ride in a range of waves from 1/2 foot Florida sand bars to over head reef breaks. And that�s with a small trail fin!? There is room for more size. So, my board rides insane. Thanks Mike!
Jason Billings, San Diego	My boards are working really well. I got third at the West Coast College Championships and at State I got first over all. Thanks!
Ed Geary, Florida	Hi Mike! When I got home last evening from my backpacking trip, the Skiers Choice board had arrived and was begging me to open the box. Man, that thing is simply gorgeous!! I can't believe how light it is. Just wanted to thank you again for being involved in this. We will make sure to get a good digital photo of the Skiers Choice reps with your board.
TIM HABER, SAN DIEGO	THE ROCKET FISH IS AMAZING!! IT WORKED IN HUGE SURF AND SMALL SURF.IT WAS THE ONLY BOARD I USED ON MY MENTAWAI TRIP. GREAT ALL AROUND BOARD.
Brent Allen, San Diego.	Mike, once again thanks for the boards. The surf in Chile has been firing for the past three months and my boards have been handling perfectly. hope the surf is treating you well back in the states.
Mark Turner, San Diego	Hey buddy. Funniest thing, I was giving blood the other day and the nurse taking my blood knew you. I was wearing the flame shirt and she was like, hey you know Mike? She reps for some moto place up by PSG or something. She was blond, pretty cute. Don't remember her name or the name of the company, sorry. But I thought you might like to know that the Walker fan base has made it into the medical world!!!
Christine Brown, San Diego	I decided to check out your website when I saw some kid at school wearing a Walker sweatshirt and I was like yeah! I grew up with that guy!..I felt cool, lol! My family went to Hawaii and there were Walker stickers EVERYWHERE, we were so excited! There was one on the sliding glass doors in both our rooms!?
Charlie, Pacific Beach	Hey MIKE: Just wanted to say hey and thanks again for the board. So Far I have brought your board from Hawaii to Hong Kong to Guam to the Sunway Lagoon in Malaysia. My next adventure is to Perth, Tazmania OZ, and then back to Hawaii, Then Back to SD, To pick up another gnarly stick. The Words out, WALKER SURF. The Only Way. Thanks Mike!
Roy Brownlow, North Carolina	Mike: A friend of mine, Brad Ctibor, showed me one of his Walker sticks on his last visit home. The shape and design details of that board just blew me away. I literally bought it right from under him. It was love at first wave for my son for who I bought the board. He told me, Dad, you have got to get yourself one of these, it's crazy! Of course I could tell from just holding and looking at the stick that your boards are the sickest! Your boards are the epitome for state of the art surfboard design and style. Anytime you're in our area, especially when hurricanes are approaching and are looking for a local boat guide to take you to some sick pits, look me up. Shaka.
Alex Chen, San Diego	The 5.11 you made for me back in December has been treating me well. She handles and looks like a dream. Thanks for everything.
Brent Allen, San Diego.	Mike, My new RetroFish rides like no other. It is for sure the best board that I have yet to ride. It is fun in the mushy surf as well as big Blacks. Thanks for all of your time and shapes. Keep on rockin in the free world.
Sean, San Diego	Just rode the board for the first time since joining the team and honestly it is the best stick I have ever ridden. Cant wait to see how it handles some big blacks....Thanks Walker
Danielle Dickerson, San Diego	I was talking to one of the FCS reps about some new fin they were coming out with, and the guy asked me what kind of board I ride, and so I told him that I ride for Walker, and he said that he had been hearing all sorts of good things about you, and that you are one of the biggest up and coming shapers, and before this rep could finish singing your praises this other rep, I don't remember where he was from, starts going off on his own tangent of how great of a shaper you are and how many good things he has heard about your boards, so I naturally had to tell them both that they were preaching to the choir and that I have been stoked on your shapes since the first time I rode one, it was pretty cool, Just thought you'd like to know.
Grant, San Diego	Hi Mike, Just wanted to say thanks a lot for my new board. I'm super stoked on it. Gotten some good ones at Torrey Pines, Scripps, Cliffs, OB Jetty. Its fun to be back home on a nice new board. Thanks again.
Craig Hollingsworth, California.	Mike, just wanted to drop a note to thank you for the red retro fish you shaped me some time ago. You nailed it with this thing. The board has been quite the conversation piece in and out of the water. People can't believe how fast it goes, and the paint job screams style. As far as my testimonial goes it truly works well in one foot dribble, when I'm playing with my kids, and I surfed true overhead Pleasure Point a few weeks back and the fish flew. I hope things are going well. Thanks again!
Chris Prelle, New York	I just wanted to say thanks for the boards, they are awesome. I would of wrote you sooner, but I have been too busy surfing. I really love the board. I am having a great time with it. You guys rock, thank you so much.
