The falcon is the “shortboard” that I’ve been trying to find for ages
Hi Todd,
Two days ago when I saw you, I had vector foils on the outside and the small trailer in the back. I was noticing a little bit of lag time getting up to speed and turning was little forced. The first couple days I tried it with the same twin fin (rasta keel) set up that I use on the Rascal 2, but it felt a bit twitchy.
So yesterday I went back to the basics and put in fiberglass AM1 futures.
Wow, now were talkin’!
All the speed of the Rascal 2 is there
but with even more manuveability.
I was able to get into more critical positions and really whip the board around rather than the more gliding turns of the Rascal 2, which is what I wanted.
The falcon is the “shortboard”
that I’ve been trying to find for ages.
Thank you so much!
But don’t worry, the Rascal 2 is not getting kicked to the curb. My board choice always depends on the conditions, and you and I both know the conditions around here are often tailor made for the Rascal 2.
Take Care,

With my new Falcon I’m able to make it through the flat section and pull into the inside with enough speed to get out in front of the wave
Hi, I just wanted to say thanks for being so prompt and helpful.
My new falcon is amazing. I’ve had a few chances to ride it and it’s perfect.
I rode it at a beach break in nw washington 2 weeks ago.
The waves were 6′ to 8′ and hollow.
Everyone was having a hard time getting in to the wave
because the wind was blowing pretty hard offshore.
I managed to catch a few waves that I wouldn’t have
on my normal short board.
Once I was up and riding I was stoked on how fast I could go.
Last week I surfed a wave called the “wedge”, although its not quite the same as the one california, its still pretty heavy. The drop is super steep, but then the shoulder usually flattens out until it hits the inside where gets steep again.
With my new Falcon I’m able to make it through the flat section
and pull into the inside with enough speed to get out
in front of the wave. Not only is it fast but its maneuverable too.
So far i’ve only ridden it as a thruster. I tried it with a set on am-2 fins and a set of js-1. The am-2 seem to be a little looser but the js-1 seem to hold a line a little better on a steeper wave. All in all I’m very happy with my Falcon. I’m looking forward to trying it as a quad and a twin finner. I live about 100 miles from the ocean, so every trip counts. A lot of the waves here you have to hike into and you can’t see from the road. It’s nice to have a board that’s versatile, because no matter how dialed in you think you have some places, they can always suprise you.
So far the falcon has been fun from mushy 2 footers to
head and a half barrels. Thanks again.

Hi Todd & Charissa:
The boards arrived today, in perfect condition.
They arrived in the afternoon, so I didn’t have the opportunity to try them yet. I’m not in a hurry,
as I will be surfing my Falcon all january and
half of february for my chinese new year holiday’s.
I will be surfing across Taiwan looking for waves,
and the Falcon is exactly what I need.
As soon I finish the trip I will write you back.
By the way, the boards look amazing!!!
way better than my expectations 
.
The channels, the carbon rails, everything is perfect.
I’m 110 % satisfied with my Falcon.
Before I say good bye, I want to thank you Todd for the time in making the boards and Charissa for all your attentions.
Looking forward to contact you for my next magic board !!! ( hope to save the money for the summer )
Regards

can not stress enough on how much I’ve improved with this board!
I have to say that my Rascal II is the most fun board in my life!
It has opened up my path to better surfing!!!
I can not stress enough on how much I’ve improved with this board!
The Rascal II has pushed me to improve
in so many ways it’s too hard to explain.
I left for college a week ago and sadly i had to leave my board at home, but I was able to use it during the last good swell and it definitely has countless waves caught with it and the most incredible rides in my life. The board gets into waves with such ease it’s AMAZING!
I’d have to say that the 2 best attributes
to the Rascal II is the control you have
with the board and the ease of riding it.
The board is so smooth and so easy it feels like surfing is so natural. the proxy is amazing also! I’ve had the board for about 3 months now and still no dings or scratches! And i know for sure I’ve hit a couple things. But overall I have to say THANKYOU Todd and Charissa! the process for the board was so easy and everything promised was fulfilled!

It works in everything….points, beach breaks, and reefs

I’ve never had a board be so good in the barrel.
These Falcons work like slingshots, you can make any section!
I like to ride the Falcon as a thruster cuz it’s fast and loose already . You just need the fin setup to hold and control the speed you get on these boards.
Much love, to the board I love, Da Falcon!
