Hello Charissa/Todd

The board was outstanding! It was exactly what I needed.

I am in the process of selling 4 past longboards since

The Proctor board outperforms

all 4 boards in all conditions.

I entered my first surfing contest very excited only to learn the longboard is judged by the classic style not progressive. I bought a 10’0 CJ nelson Noserider board to learn the basics. I am looking for a noserider longboard and would like to discuss with Todd what would be best for me. I would like to see if I can get a board before the 3rd week of AUG. wish is our next big contest. If possible I would like to set up an appt. Thur.-  3-5pm your time, PST. By the way-several East Coast pro longboarders came over to take a look at the Proctor longboard and were asking lots of questions.

I was in there this week to look into ordering a new board and left with a slightly used 6’6’ rascal.

Couldn’t be more stoked.  The day I bought it I surfed 2-3’ weak waves with my son and had a great time –

plenty of volume but still able to whip it around.

Before that I would have been bored on a longboard.

I will still get a new high performance quad when I can justify the cost but this will no doubt be my 80% board,

i.e., 80% this will be under my feet.

Thanks again,
Jim

Just a hello to Charissa & Todd,

I had a great day today, this morning a mountain bike ride in the snow….

and an end to a perfect day,

an afternoon ride with my Proctor!

Hope all is well,

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.

Todd, first I’d like to give you feedback about the concept board you made me a little over a year ago.

Todd, the concept board that you made me

has improved my surfing immeasurably.

I’m the guy who, because of a bad lower back, has to knee paddle and pop up from my knees in one motion (which takes pressure off my lower back).

You listened to my unusual (re-invented old-school) style of surfing,

and made an 8′ concept board for me by combining different parts from four of your existing board designs.

It was a masterful creation on your part,

allowing me to easily catch a wide variety of waves.

I’m sure you’ve heard this before, but your patience in taking the time to listen to my unique surfing needs and your creativity in designing what

I am convinced is the perfect board for me &

has brought a tremendous amount of happiness to my life.

I can’t thank you enough.
