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,

Just writing to thank you for helping me take my surfing to the next level.
I now thankfully own three custom proctors surfboards.

Today,

I especially thank you for what has come to be

my go to board for

almost any conditions:  The Rascal.

I thought it was going to

mainly be the small wave board.

Boy was I wrong.

If I am not sure how the surf is going to be, (never relying 100% on the reports as we all know) I grab the rascal.

Why?

I know it won’t let me down.

This thing works well for me in all conditions from small, fun waves, to peppy Santa Clara river mouth, to well overhead Pt Dume.

Cheers to the shaper who really works with the surfer. ( Not just pros)

Best regards,

Todd & Charissa,

Just wanted to drop you guys a line and let you know how impressed I am with the Lil Rascal you made for me. After the swell on Thursday calmed down I took the board out to C-Street.

First off, you hit the nail on the head

when you described this board as fast.

The first few waves I caught ended with the board shooting out from under me since it was accelerating so fast. After a while thought I started to get the hang of it and eventually got a few rides where I felt in control.

I also love how responsive this board is,

it reacts to any little movement.

Going from a 9′2 longboard to the

6′6 Lil Rascal worried me a bit, but

Todd’s recommendation of this board was spot on.

Thanks again you guys, I’m hoping to be back in a few months for Todd’s input and to get started on another board.

Take Care,

Hi Todd,

Hope all is well.

Just wanted to forward a few pics of the Rascal in Indo.

These were actually taken last year but just got them on the last trip.

The Rascal II is going great by the way!

Didn’t ride it too much on the most recent trip because the waves were pumping most of the time.

I let a few of the other guys ride it and they had a blast!

Thanks for everything and I’ll see you at Pitas this winter for sure (fingers crossed)!

Take Care,
