Hey dot;

I have an 11' SoCo. Nope, no sales tax, or as John said, "unless you want to pay".

I've had my board for about 2 weeks now. I've been out probably 4 times in less than ideal conditions, each time it has been in 1-2 foot windy chop. The board has performed great, it is as stable as a dock I always come in dry. Paddling up wind I managed all the bobbing , rocking, and rolling the quick wave periods of Lake Erie threw at me. Down wind was a blast, the board paddled easy and I cruised along the inconsistent swells. I wouldn't say I surfed any waves but more like quickly floated along the tops of the waves. I can't wait till I get a day when the lake breaks. As far as flat water paddling, I was able to get a little time on the alee side of the jetty. The board had a nice glide, I'm looking forward to a flat day or a trip to a small inland lake.

Service was great! John took plenty of time with me answering all the questions I had, we emailed just about everyday for a week and a half. We still talk after the sale. Drop John a line, he's a no pressure kinda guy, always willing to help. All in all I'm very happy with my South County!

I hope this helps.
