Customer review for Pinnacle Skis

The following is a copy of an email sent to us at Pinnacle Skis from a very happy customer....

Hey Claire,

We're back from the Wild Coast now, had an awesome time. I only managed to get out to sea once while I was there as there were generally South Westers and, being the only one with a ski, I didn't want to chance it. The day I did get out was fantastic. Calm seas and clear water and I once again saw turtle and dolphin swimming past me. I also received a visit from a big Dorado and I had an Onde Spoon ready for him, which he leapt at. Unfortunately in my bleary-eyed rush that morning I hadn't secured the reel properly so it promptly popped off and he managed to snap the slack line whilst I was re-securing it. Lesson learned. I caught and released plenty of reef fish, though, and the ski once again supplied supper in the form of a Blue Bream.

As for my thoughts on the Pinnacle, I am super impressed! It is a massive progression over my ski that I was paddling previously. The speed through the water and tracking is superior and it just felt like a much more together craft. On the days that I didn't go out I had fun surfing it in the waves, often with my wife sitting on the front and it handled beautifully. It even came in use once to rescue a swimmer who was caught in a nasty rip (cue Baywatch music).

It took on very little water while I was at sea unless I got rolled and the fittings and finishings are all top quality. I've been trying to pursuade my dad to get a ski as well and I'm confident that if I'm successful he'll also choose a Pinnacle.

You guys not only produce a superior product but your service has been top-notch as well and I'll recommend you guys strongly to any other anglers.

Thanks for all your work
