As you know, Todd shaped a Little Rascal for me about a year ago, so this is a relatively long-term review. I had always ridden longboards prior to getting the Rascal, so Todd made it large (7′3). It was a little bit of a jump from a 9′ board, but not bad.

Since that time, the Rascal has gotten to be my “all around” board.

It handles anything from knee high summer waves

to well overhead winter swell.

I found that I like riding it as a quad, because it holds well even on big surf and is really fast. The quads give the board a lot of drive and allow it to make sections that I cannot make on my shortboard thruster.

All of my longboard riding friends love the Rascal.

Todd built the Rascal as a Proxy and it has held up very well. To this point, it doesn’t even have heel dents on the top and virtually looks new. Since I’m retired, I ride this board almost every day, so that is really saying something about the longevity of these boards.

This board became a transition board to ride thrusters and small fish.

I no longer ride a longboard,

because this board is just so much more fun.

It does everything my thruster (by another well known California shaper) does, only better. It is definitely my “go to” board for all conditions and travel.

Working with you and Todd has been great. Thank you for all of your help.

Dear Charissa,

I am attaching a couple of pictures of me surfing my Big Chief in Santa Catalina, one of Panama´s most renowned breaks.

The wave offers plenty of punch, and it suits the board really well. This is just the second time I ride this board, we haven´t had much luck with swells this year, and I still have to get it a bit more wired, but I can already tell you that the ride with this board felt like the right balance between maneuverability and control.

I was able to place it all over the face of the wave,

even got a little barrel (second photo I was just coming out)with a lot of ease.

The construction is great,

I am pretty rough on boards and  this one

took my 240 pounds of body weight right in the

middle of the deck in a couple of wipeouts

without a single pressure ding.

Again, my congratulations for a great product and great service.

Talk to you soon,

Todd,

Just writing to thank you for helping me take my surfing to the next level.
I now thankfully own three custom proctors surfboards.

Today,

I especially thank you for what has come to be

my go to board for

almost any conditions:  The Rascal.

I thought it was going to

mainly be the small wave board.

Boy was I wrong.

If I am not sure how the surf is going to be, (never relying 100% on the reports as we all know) I grab the rascal.

Why?

I know it won’t let me down.

This thing works well for me in all conditions from small, fun waves, to peppy Santa Clara river mouth, to well overhead Pt Dume.

Cheers to the shaper who really works with the surfer. ( Not just pros)

Best regards,

Randy

Dear Charissa,

I received my new board yesterday, October 12. I am extremely pleased.

It is a beautiful board.

Todd made exactly what we discussed

in our phone conversation.

You guys are a pleasure to deal with

and I look forward to giving you feedback from both Maine and Costa Rica. Of course, the surf is flat here today !

Pura Vida,

Bill Wanzer, Cape Elizabeth, Maine
