Hi Todd and Charissa,

My new Blackbird is like butter on a wave, so loose yet smooth!

The rocker on this is magic… My PU performance fish (the one that I wanted replicated as a PROXY) feels slower and stiffer in comparison. Thanks for the recommendation!

You were right: it’s making me want to sell all my other boards and get a quiver of PROXY Blackbirds!

Sincerely, Jorge

Holy Shakas Todd! The Rascal II is absolutely insane. I’ve surfed it
nonstop since picking it up from you, and I’m loving it.

This is not just a small wave board; it’s an all around awesome board for

everything from knee high dribblers to head high peelers.

No need to grab the shortboard for the average good days.

The Rascal II is so manueverable, fast, and

responsive, I don’t want to ever put it back

in the board bag. Everyone should get one.

Thanks for the magic board.

Hello charissa, hello Todd!

I’m letting you know that I got the new board this week. Package was top notch and the board arrived in 1 piece.
For your future customers I sincerely think that you
should warn them about your surfboards.

I missed almost 2 days of work since I received mine.

It rides so good it’s just not sane…

I’ve never had a board so responsive, nervous and fun to ride. Ever get the feeling to just scream after landing a trick because it feels sooo good?
Well this is how I feel just about every 2 minutes spent in the water. My boss sent someone to pick me up at my favorite spot today to take me out of the water, I’m forced to work now.

I could not be more pleased!

Hey Todd + Charissa,

Just thought I’d drop a line just to let you know that this board has changed my surfing completely.

When I got on it, it just felt so light and smooth and it goes like a rocket. I love it and everyone who’s seen it is really impressed by it so don’t be surprised if the orders start flyin’ in from the west side!. We were down on Ballyliffen beach last week , this is where this photo was taken. You will have to come over some time, if you do, just give me a shout.

Thanks again Todd for a mindbender of a board, gonna order a groveler in the near future so I’ll be in touch.

Thanks+take care, Slainte, Niall.

Hey Todd,
I hope you’re well! I recently returned from the Mentawais, and I rode my custom flexible epoxy Tail Caves every day. The surf was small for most of the trip, but the board brought my backside surfing to a new level nevertheless.

I had been riding surftechs for the last 2 years, and I found this board way more lively, responsive, yet forgiving in the pocket and off the lip.

We caught overhead Rifles on the last day of the trip, and I caught the longest, fastest barrels of my life. Check out the pics!

Todd,
Just wanted to let you know that the Blackbird has been working insanely well for me on the small days here in the Mentawais (chest to well-overhead). Super fun, loose, and flexy when snapping of the lip. The board works great for fin throws, layback snaps, full roundhouses, barrels, etc. This board is a dream ripper…
I only wish I would have bought your stock 6-4 Ante-up, to use for the upcoming swell, as I think it would have worked great as a step-up for me in these kind of waves. Oh well, I’m sure I’ll be happier in the long run with an more all around custom Ante-up that hopefully would go sick in Indo as well as California, France, Puerto Rico, etc! I think that board will be my next order from you later this summer…
Take care!

Good morning Todd, it’s Dale Rhodes…how are you? It’s 10:00 on Tuesday. Happy Holidays. The board worked amazing. I didn’t get to ride it in any big surf….Saturday, West PDS was well overhead and I didn’t wanna go in it with that board until I got used to it. But

I rode it twice in waist to chest-high surf… and it’s very responsive, very fast, I love it.

I was able to acclimate to that board quite quickly. So I just wanna let you know I’m super impressed with the board, it works amazing. And I haven’t even ridden it in really good surf yet, so I think I’m in for a treat. But anyways, I just wanted to give you that feedback cuz I’m sure that you wanted to hear about it. So give me a call back because I want to order another one in another length. And that’s that. Hopefully you guys had a beautiful Christmas and I will talk to you later.

Thank you. Bye.

Props go out to Todd on his crazy 4-fin super speed monster……… It really holds in on the tight sections at PDS,and if you surf there u know what im talking about.

I knew on the 1st wave this board was for me and i hope others take note……..Very fast and loose..

Just what i needed………… Take care, Dale Rhodes

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.
