Hi Todd,

Nice to speek with you.

I know the hard work you make and
the attention you put in each board.

That’ s why I’m a fan of your label.

I also know it’s difficult to run a surfboard factory actually especially with the crisis we have.

I’ve been ordering boards from you the last 3 years and love all of them.

I must also said you have made  some of my all times favorite (Rascal).

My 2 new boards are in Paris actually and I should have them to my doorstep Monday or Tuesday.
I will let you know my feedback  and I will send you a picture of me and my perfect Proctor quiver.

I’m also thinking of a new order for 2009 and would like your advice and suggestions about this:

- Proxy Quad Fang 6′0 / 21 / 2 1/2

- Proxy Stingerless carbon rail quad fin  for medium surf (greased pig?groveler IV sw?) 6′3 / 19 1/2 or around/ 2 1/2

-Titanium upgrade 1 or 2 all around thruster for good wave conditions (Groveler IV p? Blackbird? SR 71? Ante up?) 6′6 / 19 1/2 or under / 2 1/2

Best,

Vincent

Hi Todd/Charissa,

The board was delivered on my doorstep on Wednesday. Amazingly there was also a clean chest high swell running at one of my favorite breaks!

I’m very lucky to get a new board and use it the same day in inconsistent Bermuda.

The board paddles amazingly well and gets into the waves nice and early and charges fast with the nose eagerly passing through the sections.

It rides exceedingly well on the faces and is very loose rail to rail.

It has done everything Todd said it would do for me and I’m really looking forward to getting it out in the looming hurricane swells!

Please thank Todd for exceeding my expectations

and providing a custom service with the upmost integrity!

Have a great weekend.

Hey Todd,

The Lil Rascal is insane! After picking it up at your shop

I surfed ankle-to-knee C-Street, and that thing just zoomed, just like the video on your site.

Never thought a big guy like me (6′2″ 185) could get speed like that on such weak little waves. Last month I took it (and the 6′5″ D.Y.L.) down to El Salvador for the last South of the fall. I rode the 6′5″ until the swell started to drop, then had three of the funnest days riding the Rascal on a waist high reef, having the time of my life flying down the line and ducking into little coverups while the rest of my bros just complained about the small surf;-)

The Rascal is truly a magic board.

I can feel that “bubble pillow” thing with the concaves.

One little pump and it just lifts and goes! So stoked on it!

I’m on the North Shore now for the rest of the month. My biggest problem has been reaching for the Rascal when the conditions call for a bigger board, but that thing is so fast, as long as I make the drop I can speed down the line!!!

Here are some pics from yesterday.

Thanks for making me a great board and Merry Christmas!

To the Proctors,

thank you for a unreal lil’ rascal. Got the board mid morning and unpacked it and found pro packing was used,no damage.

Surf was 3-5ft point break weak windswell and board was making sections and carving in ways that I could not believe.

You can feel the concaves working right off the bat and thickness to the advantage of speed and flow.

I will be ordering another one very soon.

Duuuuude!
I can’t believe how great this board (Lil Rascal 6′1″x20″) works! I surfed 2 foot Oceanside yesterday and I felt almost like Jay Phillips:

catching waves outside with the longboaders, passing them, doing floaters and cutbacks on tiny waves.

Normally I would have gone home because it was so gutless and small, but I decided to put your “project” to the test. You passed!
A week ago I surfed Lowers and found, to my surprise, that the board worked equally as well backside. In some ways I even like it better because of the way it accelerates and snaps off the top.

The next day I was at walled, shoulder high Churches making sections no one else could. And my three friends said I was surfing better than ever.

The envy was thick. I’m still making adjustments for more in-the-pocket surfing but I have zero complaints. On several occasions, complete strangers have asked about the board.

Though I’d love to take credit and chalk it up to my surfing ability, the Lil Rascal has had an incredible affect on my surfing ability and stoke.

Don’t be surprised if you start getting calls from south Orange County.
Thanks for the insane 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!!!!

Hey Charissa,

I am writing this in regards to my 5′ 6″ Lil’ Rascal custom board. The board is insane and is now my go to board for anything h/h and under (even though I will ride it in bigger clean surf). Todd’s dimensions for me were right on and the epoxy is better than any of my XTR boards. Even the boards grey color is a nice change and I can NOT wait to get on a Blackbird or SR71.

Thanks to Todd for answering every question I had and making sure this board was going to be magic.

And to you Charissa for your superb customer service and making this process painless and getting my board to my doorstep just as promised. I am stoked.

I just got back from Panama. Thanks for the update. I can’t believe the board’s almost ready. That was quick. I can’t wait to try it out.

P.S. The Rascal was a blast in Panama, rode it everday for 2 weeks as the swell never got over head high. Lovin’ it.

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.

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!

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!

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,

Surfed in head high mushy point surf and what a blast!!!

She was such a skatey, slippery little board that after a couple of waves just worked like a dream. Lot of speed off the bottom, loose anywhere on the wave and a great laugh. All who saw her were very impressed with the shape and fin system. Great choice

My work horse. Surfed this from shoulder high to solid 6-7′ points. Was a great board in the beefier waves. Pushed back when I needed it out on the shoulder for cutties,

paddled like a dream, very fast around sections and held suprisingly well in the hollow stuff.

At my first impression upon opening, she seemed pretty over built and to be honest she is for a lot of occassions. A lot of thickness everywhere. I asked you for an all around board and you did a good job. Next time will probably go a little smaller in size and thickness. Overall, was very pleased with the board, again, another good choice.

Surfed in 7′-10′ Anchor Point. Now this board was such an amazing ride. Paddleing out on that big day with new board I was a little concerned. But as soon as I made it out the back a wave popped up just in front of me. And from the the paddle in to the finish, I just shat myself!!!! Paddled in soooo easy and early and once to my feet was no kidding and I hate the expression, ‘like a magic carpet ride.’ The board had so much speed and control, glided around sections easily, turning off the bottom was always controlable, was unlike any board I had ever ridden.

For the next 2 hours I had one of the best sessions of my life on that board

and can only wait to ride it once again.

As for the office side of your buisness, I found Charissa very helpful and pleasant. Her side was as good as the boards you made me.

I have to say that when I find myself back in Cali and I need a new board I will definetly be giving you a call for my next shape.

Hello there!!!

Well, I´m lost of words… what can I say?
Everything is so perfect!: the way you send it (perfectly protected), the fins (really incredible!), the leash, the boardbag… and the board itself!!!
Hey Todd, I´m sure I´m gonna fly with the Twin Fang.

It is such a perfect shape!!

I really love the fins, they look like the dorsal fin of a reef shark… And the chekered pattern…
As soon as I surf with it I´ll tell how it goes.

THANKS GUYS!!
Aloha….

[the next day]

Hey people, this is not real… This afternoon I could surf the Twin Fang!!! Yeeeeeessss!!! Incredible as it appears! I just got it yesterday and today the first surfing session…

Do you really wanna know what do I think of the board??…
Surfing the Proctor Twin Fang is just insane!!
I´ve found the surfboard I was looking for. Because of the size, because of the thickness, because of the two fins system… because the professional way they made it!!

It is a kind of rocket, you know? It gives such a speed that you can get out the wave, ride the flat sea… and get home…I can go through the sections as I never did.

The cut-backs… they´re incredible!!.

That tail… why can it be so special?

Looks like the board is alive; so tame and so fast and maneuvrable at the same time. And, as his shaper says, it paddles you like a dream… That´s true mate!!

Tomorrow forecast bring us good news… It seems we´ll be able to ride it again… Yeah! They say I paid too much.

I say the board has been worth it.

Thanks Todd. Thanks for helping me to persevere as a mediterranean surfer. It´s difficult to surf here properly and now looks like I started to surf again. From now on, it will take me a long time to ride a thruster.
Thanks Charissa and thanks to all the Proctor Team.

As soon as I get some photograph/video I´ll send it.

surfboard review: custom twin fin retro fish surfboards

Todd:

Just thought I’d give you some feedback of the first two go-outs with the 7’11” Ellipse that you made for me. I’ll give you more feedback after a few more sessions.

First day: Surf was small, about knee to waist high at C Street, and a little weak. Fuller tide, but glassy. A little disappointing….wasn’t sure the board would work in that stuff, but I was wrong.

I put in the single fin only to start.

The board was drivey, quick and sensitive even in that surf.

I thought “hey, ok”. After a couple of waves, I added the side bites to make the fin set up a two plus one. The side fins didn’t seem to create any drag and helped come around the corner of the little sections easier. I actually got a wave a little more like chest high and was able to pull out two good bottom turns with a fair amount of rail engagement, and good speed off the bottom…it felt like…well…surfing. I then switched to the tri fin set up and noticed the board to be looser, but maybe a little less drivey, but it was hard to tell because the waves were deteriorating. Thru the session the board was speedy, and sensitive, with a fair amount of turning for the conditions.

At one point during the go out I overheard a guy on a long board complain “all you can do is go straight on these things”…I quietly laughed to myself like a kid who has a little secret.

Second Day: Low tide C Street with waves knee to solid shoulder high. Wave faces were a little steep and had I been on a long board many of the take offs may have been a little angled off to avoid a pearl on the take off, although a lot of waves peaked that way, but then were followed by a fairly flat shoulder.

I kept the three fin thruster set up the whole time. The board was sensitive and loose, but positive. No feeling of a loss of drive…in fact just the opposite…I had a couple of bottom turns driving straight down the face, followed by an accelerating turn. No tracking problem. Some bottom turns were kind of “round” while I had another that a friend described as “a 90 degree turn, not something you could do on a longboard”. The board just went where I wanted. It also went down the line very good…good speed, no drag.

Overall: Obviously more time is needed, but my initial impressions, besides that set forth above are: The board actually works as a single fin, although on a personal level I would maybe put the fin pretty far up in the box and experiment with different rakes. The two plus one set up definitely works, and I think you could play with the center fin location for personal preference. The single fin and two plus one set up gives you that feeling of a 70’s surfboard drive and speed, but the rails and rocker is much better and more forgiving than those boards were, and the side bites improve the turning. The board definitely works as a tri fin. I put the center fin all the way back and no drag or feel like I had to shift my rear foot back to turn, so I believe the fin box placement is perfect for changing fin set ups. (Haven’t tried it as a twin fin with stabilizing center fin yet, but got an idea of what type of surf would be good for that set up). The board floats and paddles good. There is a little “glide in” on take offs reminiscent of a long board, without losing the bite and quickness of a shorter board. The rails are forgiving but initiate and hold turns well. It is fast down the line…I wouldn’t hesitate to take it to Rincon. You picked the perfect thickness and width for me.

To be candid, when I first saw the board, I was worried that the nose might be a little too narrow, as I often use the forward section of my boards. I was wrong. I had some waves where my left (front) foot was on the logo, and the board trimmed with speed…I even had one wave where I put that foot past the logo to get over a funky little section and it worked! On the other hand, I now see that a wider nose would get in the way of many of the turns I did.

Bottom line…I wouldn’t change the nose width even one half inch, and the rocker seems perfect.

I am not sure how a beginner would do on this board….it would probably be hard for him to handle and maximize the benefits…but the board fits me good….Thanks. I’ll stay in touch, and I’m looking forward to trying the “ante up” version as well.

The Lil’ Rascal new round nose fish you shaped me is amazing, by far the best small to tiny wave board I have ever ridden.

The thing flies through knee high mush and holds its speed allowing me to blow up little sections.

It has increased the amount of days I can surf by a lot - making summer in Goleta a lot easier to stomach. I was also stoked to see it in art work ideas section. Needless to say my heart sank a little last week when I broke the nose in waist high shore break, no worries though I get it back from the ding repair this week and I be back out on it. I also plan on ordering another one when this one needs to be retired. Thanks again Todd for taking the time to get the right board figured out with me, this board is definitely a hit.

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.

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!

Hi!
I want to thank Todd again for the Rascal. It has been perfect for me in this mostly always Texas wind blown chop. This last Saturday the local surf forecast said there was no rideable surf but the Rascal showed them that there was rideable surf. The below email sure helped my ego too.

[.....Hey Jim ....you are my inspiration now because you are older than me and you were tearing it up out there. I definitely want to introduce you to my surfing buddy's. You will fit right in with our so called "Over the hill gang". Hopefully we'll have some good waves soon and we can hook up down in Galveston. Don't work too hard, Bobby... ]

On Thursday through Saturday we had thunder storms and very high offshore winds. Then a cold front came through early Saturday evening and by Sunday morning there were clean waist to chest high waves. It was only the second time this winter that the conditions have been as good. I had a great day.

Thanks again for the Rascal. It has truly helped bring back a magical time in my life.

I absolutely love being in the water again….Jim

Everything went smooth and the board is really, really sick. I’ve been out on it a bunch already and am getting used to it and loving it at the same time.

Hi Todd,

I haven’t talked to you since I got my EPS “Ridiculous” single fin with side bites (6′4″ x 20″ x 2 5/8″) a year ago October. Thought you should know I’m still loving it. People at “Uppers” (Trestles) continue to comment on it and how well I surf on it.

And my wave count is through the roof.

Anyhow, I’m about ready to make some quiver changes and the “lil Rascal” is sounding a bit tempting. I’ve been riding the “Ridiculous” with a 5 1/2 inch single and the small longboard side fins.

I really like the positive, flowy feeling of the single fin- especially backside because I’m goofy footed.

I have ridden it as a twin and a half and didn’t care much for it. So, here’s the question. Would you recommend the “lil Rascal” with a similar fin set-up? I’m curious because it looks like a board I could surf a bit more radically. The nose, rocker, and outline looks very similar between these two boards, thus the transition would be easy between the two. The “lil Rascal” seems like you’ve trimmed the fat, shortened, and put a more pure twin set-up on it than the “Ridiculous”. Is this the case, and how could it be adapted for a 6′2″ tall, 35 yrs. old weighing 175lbs? I’d love to believe I surf as good as Jay, but…. Would you recommend a 6′ 0″ x 20 x 2 5/8″?” Too big or small?

I’d love for it to paddle similar to my current board (or better if you can work miracles).

As always,

Thanks for your time and attention to detail.

Sincerely,

Mark Quest

The swell is backing down. It wasn’t all that it was cut out to be. I surfed Count Line point everyday. Monday was really fun because it was uncrowded. More importantly, like I said, the Circa is a Diamond in the rough! That board is a masterpiece. Anybody, excluding the top 10 percentile of surfers would be better served riding a Circa style board. It will revolutionize what they are doing. I am stoked! Keep shaping the magic. MSJ

Shaper’s Description:

“Circa ‘86″ eighties model

Can you believe there is actually an 80’s model…I’m feeling old. Actually, I was a grom in the 80’s and what a great time it was; in part due to board design – less work for more speed; surfing didn’t have to be so technical back then and it seemed like there were less knee injuries… I don’t know? Features flat deck, angled down rails, flat-to-vee bottom, even a beautifully hideous beek nose. So here’s my quick, forgiving little gem that hearkens back to the days of Curren and Occy duals, “Kong”, “Rabbit”, “The Saint”, a young ”Butto”, “The Law”….yesterdays heroes that aren’t so different from today’s.

Hey just wanted to let you know how stoked I am on the boards or should I say board. I have not gotten a good chance to ride the quad but the twinny is insane. I take both boards but always seem to find a reason to pull the fish out instead of the quad. It is everything that I wanted.

My breach break has transformed into a mush point break this summer and the fish just excels in it.

I think I finally pushed it to its limits today with a typhoon swell and solid 8 foot faces. Felt like I was on a

skateboard going up and down the faces. I will let you know how the quad is working if I can ever get off the fish.

Thanks again,

Twin Fang Description:

They’re back ’cause they’re fast. This is an updated version of the original “Fish” design. I’ve incorporated a modernized single-to-double concave-to-accelerated spiral vee bottom, and blended it with the original retro outline, rocker, and thickness flow…why? for the enjoyment of hair-raising speed runs. Check out the website to watch streaming video of this twinny fanging its way through the lineup. Also available with quad setup. Graphics: wide open, pictured: resin opaque with cutlap t&b
