Japanese team rider, Kai, becomes 10th champion of Surf Skaters event in Chiba

How’re you doing?
I really like the board!

During the vacation in CA I used it for surf at Oceanside, Swamis.

..I felt the board rather light in early days, but shortly after I got used to it and found it a really magic one!
It makes easy take-off and curving in various waves: knee to head high,
low to medium power waves.

So it also works well for waves in Japan.

..I will continue to use it.

My blackbird 1 Proxy works insane.

This is “The” best performance

board ever.

My confidence for surfing is so high with your board now. I feel that the board has taken me to the next level.

Thank you for the great board, Todd.

Sorry I have not had a chance to give you any feed back on the the new board.

Let Todd know that board just goes off!

He was spot on about the Greased Pig being the right board.

I have been riding it in everything out here

from waist high mush balls to head high barrels and it handles it all.

As always thanks for the magic board!

…Don’t know what to say…the Twin Fang, Lil Rascal and the board you made for my 8 year old daughter Samantha came out absolutely amazing!

The art work, craftsmanship and attention to detail was incredible.

I can’t thank you enough…I don’t even know where to begin. I am so pleased with these boards and I cannot wait to ride them. Samantha sends a HUGE thank you!!!! She said this was the coolest birthday present ever!!! Expect pictures soon!!!!

Mahalo,

Ronnie and Samantha Santaniello

The Twin Fang is absolutely beautiful! It is exactly how I imagined it..only better in real life! It is the perfect size and width. The red and yellow is amazing!! I am so happy to have you both as family and I am very excited to see the next piece of art. This Twin Fang is a fantastic addition to an already beautiful quiver.
God bless you both and stay well.

Todd and Charissa,

OK, I got the board out yesterday and it paddled like a longboard and smoked down the line like a jet!

It took me by surprise the first 5 or 6 rides because after 15 years of longboarding I never knew something can move that smooth and that fast…I was stoked! This board also had a lot of Japanese surfers asking who the shaper was and when this is coming to Japan! I guess first impressions are everything. Just to bad I don’t surf any where as great as Jay Phillips!!!!!! But after a few seasons on this Twin Fang…who knows! Thanks again Proctor family! You both are the BEST!

Hi guys,

I finally got the Quad out and it was RAD!

I couldn’t believe how light and fast it was! It turns on a dime too!

The Twin Fang was a really good training tool because the transition was really, really easy! First day out and it was 6ft and FUN!

Thanks! I love it. I am never going back to longboarding ever again!

Mahalo,

Todd & Charissa,

Our boards got here yesterday. I was really stoked when I saw mine and couldn’t wait to get it wet. The timing couldn’t have been any better either. All last week was flat and today a pretty good bump came in. We had about a four hour clean head high session. The board performed just as I imagined,

it felt as if it were an extension of body.

I came in and I’m resting now. The afternoon should be a little onshore and about chest. I think I’ll give it a run as a twin. I haven’t retired the long but I don’t it’ll be seeing action for a while.

Muchos Thanks,

First of all, SR71 is just perfect !
It has tight turning and makes the riding speed faster…

there was Quicksilver TAHARA CUP 2007 held last Sunday, 19th and I got the first prize.

I’m sending some pictures taken at that time.
Please take a look !

Best regards,

Surfed the new Proxy 6’0” Twin Fang and it was incredible! Actually it was more than incredible!

This board is so, super light and lively.

I out-paddled the longboarders and ripped the small sections up with ease. Todd definitely made another masterpiece and yes as you all have been saying…”A magic board”!

I really don’t know what more to say…this is my fourth Proctor board and each time I am left amazed.

Charissa-Todd,

Okay, I can finally give you a report on how my Lil Rascal worked out for me. It was INSANE!!

I spent two days in Izu surfing a pre-typhoon swell and the Lil Rascal was bananas!

It tore up the inside sections and handled the big sets with total ease.

The only thing that bothered me about the board was PUTTING IT AWAY!

Thanks again for another sweet board!

First of all, thanks for making my magic board.

That board has taken my surfing to the next level.

I don’t know if you remember, but you shaped me a levee and sent it to Okinawa a few months ago. I wanted to loosen up the board with some new fins. I was looking at the FYU fiberglass, but before I ordered I wanted to make sure you had some in stock. I also wanted your opinion on those fins before I get them. Thanks

Northern Japan actually has some good waves. I have only been able to make it out a few times but it has been chest to head and glassy in the early morning. I have heard this pretty much what to look for all winter with some bigger ones every once in a while. Now I just have to get use to the cold.
The water is about 48 but the air is 30 and both are only getting colder.

I was looking at the site and the new “Ridiculous” board looks insane. I will have work on getting some funds up for that.

Thanks for everything!

…Todd,

First I wanted to say how much I am stoked on the boards you made for me.

The small wave groveller is like magic!

I ride it 90% of the time even up to 6-8 foot faces….
