This will be my “go to” board all winter long
Hi guys, saw the videos and glad I already got a Monsta.
It’s been pretty small in Santa Cruz
but got a couple of decent waves
and felt how responsive the board is.
This will be my “go to” board all winter long.
If it gets really big I can also bring out the single fin Todd made me.Hope to visit you both in person late fall this year.
Best Regards, John Eckardt

Proxy epoxy Monsta: 6’10″ x 21 1/2″ x 2 7/8″ wide squash tail
Even on small waves I can just whip the board around
Hello Todd/Charissa,
Just wanted to write, after a long delay (bought the board Oct 09), to tell you how much I love my hybrid performance funboard.
Returning to surfing after 20+ years,
this board has been a godsend.
I’ve been riding it a lot these past 10 months and it goes like a dream.
Fast, easy to paddle, super light and
full of life for a board of this size. (7’6″ x 21 1/4 x 3)
its been a great groveler in our weak S. China sea surf – espec for a big guy, beginner/intermediate surfer like myself (6’1″ 195 lbs). When the waves pick up the board is just incredibly fast – it gets much more maneuverable as the wave power picks up.
Even on small waves I can just whip the board around,
pull deep carves and pivot on the tail with ease.
Something I could never do on a similar size poly. And I can catch almost anything on this baby.
It has also held up to some punishment.
With the proxy titanium and kevlar the board
still has no visible dings, no noticeable
pressure dings on the deck, despite my
knocking it around more than once.
And even though the colors weren’t exactly what I ordered, it turns out I love the look and design more than what I requested!
All I can say is your design, service and obvious commitment to quality has made my re-entry to surfing super enjoyable. Next year I’m seriously considering getting my first shortboard from you – maybe something in the 6’4″x 2 1/2 x 19 range. Of course I’ll seek your advice first – like I did with this one.
Big thanks once again for helping my surfing progress,
and for making my time in the water
even more fun and rewarding.
Now, if I can only do something about our crap summer surf. But winter’s coming…
All the Best,

It paddles like a dream, I can get into waves. MAGICAL!!!
Hey Charissa, this is Luciano. It was great meeting the both of you, I
feel truly blessed.
BTW, that Big Chief/Greased Pig fusion
worked wonders yesterday!!!
It paddles like a dream, I can get into waves
SSSOOOO much easier
and although it took me about ten waves
to get used to it, IIITTT RRRIIIIPPPSSS!!
I was shocked, actually, at the “feel” this board has, I know it has a lot to do with the tail shape and extra width, along with the double concave and the rail geometry======
MAGICAL!!!
Thanks again, LS

My skill level has jumped tenfold and my stoke even more!
Hey Todd and Charissa,
This is Jeff.
You guys customed me a lil’ rascal end of last season.
I just wanted to write you guys an email and let you know that so far this season it has been epic. The board rips, and is super fun. So glad my sister hooked that up.
My skill level has jumped tenfold
and my stoke even more!
Now on to business….
Within the next probably three to four months I am thinking about picking up a shortboard. With the results I had from dealing with Proctor I am for sure going to be getting it through you guys. The only thing I am unsure of is what exactly I am looking for. Like I said before my skill has jumped but I dont think I am out of the beginner woods just yet. Basically any info you could throw at me in regards to what I should be looking at would be awesome. No rush! I know you guys have a lot on your plates. I’m basically looking to keep developing skill wise, and step up to some bigger waves and bigger challenges.
I hope this email finds you both in good health, and better spirits.
-Jeff
