What a stunning board! Fab design n amazing resources make for an interesting read about how it all came together. Well done!

Very pleased with this bookmark! There is this amazing feeling reading Steinbeck while holding this piece of history... there is a connectedness. Though simple, you can feel the quality and craftsmanship that went into making this. Already bought another as a gift!

A well received gift. Very cool artwork. 🤙

Absolutely love my Surfsquatch t-shirt and stickers! The t-shirt design is awesome and super comfy. The stickers are already on my car and outdoor kayak rack. Hope to spot a Surfsquatch soon in their natural environment :)

Aloha Martijn and David,
Big thanks for the great Surfsquatch T-Shirt. Quality construction, comfy fabric and a very cool graphic design.
I will wear it proudly!

We ordered the sketch pencil made from resin cast-offs and were blown away by how gorgeous it was in person. It’s light weight and comfortable to hold, and the accompanying stand make it feel like a piece of art on our desk while it is not in use.

All in all, it is a delightful combination of art, function, and craftsmanship, all while incorporating discarded resin in an elegant way.

I love this flannel! I love that it’s reclaimed and I love the artwork. New favorite flannel for sure!

What a great company to deal with! Your customer service and products are excellent and your commitment to using reclaimed and "cast-off" wood is a win-win for us all. Great craftsmanship on the pen I ordered for Christmas.

Amazing craftsmanship and cool idea! Thanks again

I love this shirt! The customer service is great! Thank you for such an amazing product! I will be wearing it a lot! I highly recommend Ventana products!

I first saw this board in a Surf shop in Carmel and was immediately struck by the beauty and build quality of this piece of art. Of all the surfboards I've owned and seen, this is the most beautiful yet. The materials, craftsmanship and overall blending and artistry of these materials is epic. Although I've never surfed the board I know it would rip. However, this board is just too beautiful and has a home in our bedroom. It's a showpiece!

Honestly, this cute shirt is an easy 10/10. The quality is amazing and it fits extremely well. The material is soft and comfy. Recommend！

I really enjoyed working with Martijn to develop the shape. He was kind enough to let me help along the way, which made the build and the resulting board extra special. I helped him lay up the skeleton of the frame, make stylistic decisions and execute the pattern of the wood layup on the deck and bottom, shape the rails, etc... The resulting board is understatedly elegant, has clean lines, and surfs as well as it looks!

This board hung on the wall for a year, then was taken down and has since been folded into my daily quiver. Because of the value and the weight, I don't surf it in crowded lineups. This board waits in the wings for special days with medium sized waves.
From a surfing perspective it is a beautifully executed Retro Fish. It catches the burger, and holds a beautiful high line, fast down the line when the waves are more steep.
If I could change anything on the next shape I might go a little bit thicker and longer. Say ~5'10" x 21.5 x 2.75". Martijn can explain the buoyancy differences from foam and make recommendations.
I'm 5'10" x 170lbs approaching 20 years surfing.

Working with Martijn on this board was an incredible experience. The end result is better than anything I envisioned, both in terms of the beauty of the board, but also how richly infused with local history and personal meaning it became. Our interactions brainstorming the design and wood selection (from Martijn's rich collection of heritage reclaimed wood pieces) led to new discoveries and intense enjoyment of the journey. This is a "forever" board and work of exceptional craftsmanship and art. When my wife saw the board her jaw hit the floor, she was so enamored with it. Thank you Martijn and David for this incredible opportunity!!

It's everything you need in a tiny, well-crafted box. I received one as a gift a few years back, and since then, I've gifted several others. I suppose there's only one thing left to say: anchors away, matey & enjoy!
