In good chest to head high waves it makes me feel like a better and faster surfer than I really am!

I’d like to talk with you about a lil rascal quad. What length/width do you think would work best for me? I’m 6’2″ tall and 185 lbs. My regular shortboard is your 6’5″ x 19 5/8 and it works great for me unless the waves are really mushy, then I go to a thicker, wider and flatter hybrid shortboard/fish which is also a 6’5″.
For the rascal, I’m thinking in the range of 5’11″ to 6’2″, but I guess it depends on the width and thickness so I want to leave it up to your judgement.
I’d like to go with your epoxy again, it’s amazingly durable (I STILL haven’t had a real ding on my 6’5″ in a year and a half!!!). I want to do a deck patch under my front foot.
I think I will finally break down and get some color on this board, maybe some kind of crazy orange/yellow/red/black mix or maybe blue and yellow, but I don’t have anything specific in mind here, so go nuts and make it look rad!
I’m available Friday anytime between noon and 5 PM if you have time for a quick call then, I think it will only take a couple minutes to talk through the details, then I’ll put down a deposit.
Mahalo,

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….

Just wanted to drop a line and wish you both well.
I am so stoked looking forward to the arrival of my new board.

I am so sure it will be the “magic”, that I am planning my next one

for you to build. I just want to say that I

was so pleased with the treatment I received from you both,
that I have told anyone and everyone,
that you are the only one’s to get boards from !
Thanks again.

If you could, send me 3 of the 10″x2″ Proctor decals and
add them to my final bill.

Today I recieved my first Proctor Surfboard:

the Groveler IV.sw four fin diamond tail.

The board looks absolutley awesome!

Todd, you did an outstanding job in creating this board for me.
The airbrush looks great too.
I couldn’t be happier with it. I can’t wait to ride it.
I’m so stoked to have my first custom board.

You both were a pleasure to work with. I hope to get more boards from you in the future. I’ll be sure to send a pic and a review of how it rides,
as soon as a hurricane snaps this long awful flat spell were experiencing.

Thank you so much. I wish you both the best.

Sincerely,
