By the way, both boards (Lil Rascal and G4E) have been insane lately.

The only board I think I need now is an SR-71 for those O/H days, but I am still saving for that one.  The new website is really nice too!  I dig it.  Talk to you soon and God bless.

Hi Joel,

I received your custom board inquiry online, checked it out…and have detailed a couple boards that I think would be the next level for you.

Since you need something versatile for

surfing a variety of waves ranging

from mushy to hollow,

then I suggest an all around performance shortboard that generates speed in small/ gutless conditions, yet will hold in and surf fast and clean on the punchier or bigger waves too….

the board I have specifically designed for

this purpose and for your build….

is called the Big Chief.

This board is a full performance board, but it is built with the appropriate volume so that you don’t have issues catching waves, or generating speed even when the waves are small. I recommend a 6’10″ x 21 ¼” x 3 1/8″ Big Chief with a squashtail. The rocker/ bottom curve on this board is moderate meaning that it allows you to paddling into waves easily and generate speed down the line while it has a nice loose tail rocker off the fins so you can turn on a dime and draw nice performance lines in and around the power pocket of the wave.

The bottom contour features a single to inset double concave….this generates lift, speed, drive in the board while at the same time positive redirectional hold through turns.

Hopefully this answers some of your questions. Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on a magic Proctor Big Chief. Looking forward to your reply,
Aloha,

Todd

Aloha Todd,

Thanks for the super fast response. I really think your recommendation is great. Iʻm wondering if I could get the dimensions you suggested (6ʻ10″x 21 1/4″ x 3 1/8″)  in the Rascal II.

The more I read about the Rascal II

the more I want to try it.

Right now Iʻm on a Rusty Desert Island thatʻs 8ʻ0 x 22″ x 2.94″ Itʻs has a shortboard shape. I want to branch out a little and try a different shape and different fin set ups. Iʻve never surfed a fish or a quad setup.

Iʻm so new at order surfboards that Iʻm not sure how custom I could get a board. Iʻm seriously considering the Rascal II, but I know that the sizes on the website would not float me.

Thanks again for such a fast response.
Joel

Hi Joel,

The Rascal II is awsome…..would be a great board for you….and I can make you a custom in those dimensions as well.

So, good news all around!!

The best thing to do for ordering a board is to set up a phone appointment and I’ll go over all the ins and outs about what will be best for you and can answer any other questions you may have at that time as well. I’ll go over everything with you from the shape/ design of the board to the various glassing/ construction options available to you, and graphics options if you are interested. I recommend going with the five fin set-up so you can ride the board as a quad or thruster….

I’ll explain the pros and cons/ types

of waves to ride each fin set-up in.

I’ll actually be here in the factory/ showroom all day tomorrow (between 10:00am and 4:00pm Pacific Standard time) so if there is a good time for you then….just let me know a time and your phone# and I’ll call you. Otherwise we can schedule something for another time. Ok, well let me know if that works good for you….
Speak soon,
Aloha, Todd

Todd,

Awesome!! Iʻm super stoked. I work until 1pm and Iʻll be home at 1:30pm Hawaii time. I believe that would mean 3:30 your time. So if you want to call at 3:30 your time Iʻll be here. If that doesnʻt work we can set up an appointment.
Thanks Todd.
Aloha
Joel

Aloha Charissa,

Iʻm writing to let you know I just got the rascal II.

The board is so rad!

I have to wait 24hrs for my traction pad to set, but Iʻll let you know how the first session goes.

Thanks
joel

Aloha Todd and Charissa,

I took the Rascal II out for the first time today.

I love it.

It floats me good. I can get into the wave faster. And once Iʻm on the wave the board keeps pushing faster.

I had so much fun.

Thanks for you great customer service and attention to detail.

Hey Todd & Charissa,

Just wanted to send you a quick note on the G-4.E I picked up from you just before Christmas. All I can say is that I absolutely love the board.

When I picked it up you

said it would transform my surfing,

and you were completely right.

I feel like my surfing has progressed more in the past month and a half than it had in the prior six.

Me and my G-4.E in Florianopolis, Brazil:

The board paddles super easy, but still feels so nimble. I can dig the rails in so quick now, my bottom turn has never been so solid. Going backside was always a bit iffy,

now I’m nailing my backside

bottom turn every time.

Oh and the epoxy is definitely living up to its rep. I took the board down to Brazil a couple of weeks ago. Too many flights to remember, but not a single ding on the board! Anyway just wanted to say thanks to both of you again.

The board is just awesome, and the

whole ordering process was super easy.

I’ll be coming back for more!

Regards,

Todd and Charissa Proctor,

I got the board that was shaped for me last Wednesday. It looks great, and it arrived on time and unharmed. Of course I couldn’t wait for a 2 foot mushy summer day to take it out, so the following Saturday when a shoulder high swell rolled in I gave it a first spin. To sum things up, the board rips.

It’s fast down the line, feels just right rail to rail,

and catches everything!

I think anyone considering a fish for their quiver should seriously consider the lil’ rascal. The conditions were hollow early on and the

board practically paddled itself into waves.

Later in the day the winds turned onshore, and even when the waves got mushy the board performed at the same level. I was really impressed.

I also wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed working with both of you. The entire process was really smooth and easy and I would not hesitate to come to Proctor Surfboards again for another magical board. Shouldn’t be long until i’m looking for a new performance board!

Take care,

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
