I just had a great experience with Blackfern.
The shaper, Mike Hall, takes a lot of pride in his designs but ultimately he helped me make all the decisions. He was professional and considerate. The most amazing thing, though, was how fast I got it: I think it took like five days.
I've only ridden it twice, both in head-high, shorter period surf and it caught everything-- I didn't do so hot, but that's another story. I need more time on it before I can say more, but I'd definitely give him a call yourself.
