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!

I love my Ventana wax box!
I keep it in my surf car just in case, and it has saved the day on at least one occasion (needed to replace my leash loop).
Even if you don't use it to store a bar of wax, it's a beautiful small box that gets lots of compliments. A usable piece of art, and a great way to support the good folks at Ventana Surfboards if you can't afford a hollow wooden board!

Awesome sweatshirt. Light weight, fits perfect, love the design! Will for sure be purchasing more products after the awesome service. Great job! Love it!

I love this hoodie! Lightweight which is super nice for fall weather and fits exactly how it should. The design is cool and I can tell it won’t peel off from washing it.

I got my Save-A-Surf box back in June and I have used it every time I've gone surfing. I love that it keeps my wax from melting in my car on warmer days, and even if it melts slightly the box keeps wax from getting everywhere. I've had many instances where I couldn't find a fin key in my car, so it's great to know I always have a back-up in my Save-A-Surf box! The wax comb and scraper combo comes in handy every few weeks when I need to rough up my wax.

The most special part of the box, in my opinion, is that the wood is all donated by Santa Cruz Guitar Co. and other sources that would have otherwise been thrown away.

They've done it again! The attention to detail and the quality of the workmanship is excellent. It is perfect piece for my living/playing area of the house. It is subtle yet sophisticated especially with stories behind all the materials used in each of the mini surfboards. It has been a great talking point when people visiting the space.

We purchased the Ventana Mini Surfboards for our condo in Hawaii. We loved it so much we hung it in the entry, so it is the first piece of art you see when you enter our home. We are constantly getting compliments from friends and relatives who visit not only about the beautiful mini surfboards but the story around each one.

Part of the appeal of surfing is the simplicity of the experience - you don’t really need much to get out there. Thus, a missing component in your minimal gear is suuuuuuch a bummer, cuz it’s probably firing and you don’t have what you need. You’re covered, STYLISHLY, with this goodie box. Affordable, functional, high-quality and ideal for gifting. A killer deal for this hand-crafted Swiss Army knife of surfing. Do it.

It has surprised me with surf-saving gadgets and tools multiple times (I kid you not). Also, it just looks gooooood. I'm so tired of the disgusting plastic tupperware with wax in it.

I bought both the Western Flyer Doug Fir pen and pencil as a set. They are just beautiful and well made. They are a pleasure to use. Hefty, well balanced and comfortable in the hand.

The history behind the wood used has personal significance and will become a family treasure. Thank you!!!
