Todd,

Do you remember me?

I bought the first board out of your factory when you opened up.

It’s a hand shaped performance longboard.

This is still my favorite board

after 8 years

I’ve caught some really gnarly waves on this baby.

I love this board!

Hola Todd and Charissa-

I don’t know if Oscar sent this to you,

but here is a classic picture

riding your board just north of Todos Santos.

Thanks for the ding repair -

he is happily riding it again!

Dear Charissa,

Just a quick line to let you know that

the board got here OK, and

I LOVE IT.

Please pass along my congrats to Todd.

The craftmanship is incredible.

I was able to take it with me to a quick trip last weekend. Although the waves were not that big and short on power,

it was loose and easy to turn and

getting into waves is so easy.

Can´t wait to take it out in bigger surf.

Keep up the good work, I have been telling my buddies all about it.

Take care,

Luis Rodriguez, Panama

Surfing Pitas last sunday on the SR71,

I could not believe the acceleration from that board.

Just one push and it was  flying.

Fast, loose, and easy to ride.

All this extra speed led to me blasting hits

much harder than usual.

Throwing out turns on edge and pulling the board back under me felt effortless.

I was shocked at the way I was surfing this board.

I felt like someone much better

and that so much more was now possible.

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,

I finally got the “little minx” in the water….

amazing is all i can say.

I’ve never been so in control

of a board,

the colour is unreal -

all my buddies want one! I gave your number to dem.

Keep up the work.

I’ll send some pictures of me in action when i get someone to take a camera instead of a board!
talk soon,

Hi Todd!

Howz it going? It took a few sessions to get a good feel of the board but we need waves for that as well which have not been consistent over here. Yes this board is defiantly for advanced riders,

it turns on a dime with very little effort.

Tail slide, tail wips, airs and quick snaps

this board can do it all.

Still working on my airs but this board is the one to use. I took it out last Sunday when we got the good size west swell and

it responded well on a 6ft+ beach break condition.

Great job on the board Todd! Thanks!

Jarrah’s feedback on the Blackbird Titanium after 12 months of putting it through the paces

Hey Charissa and Todd,

I am very excited to order 2 new Blackbird IIs in Proxy epoxy and

wanted to give Todd props on not only the best

and most versatile boards I have ever ridden,

but the durability and consistent liveliness of the Proxy material.

I would recommend getting the Proxy epoxy upgrade to anyone who wants an incredibly flexible, fast, and durable board!  Unlike competitors’ epoxies that have a less lively feel than their poly counterparts, the spring and tensile flex of the Proxy epoxy is actually more noticeable and faster than the traditional polyurethene blank by a long shot.

Plainly put, Proxys builds speed,

hold it and slingshot you into your next maneuver.

This was evident on the very first ride at D Street in Encinitas, a fast and punchy (usually walled) beachbreak.  I clearly remember taking off and flying past a section that I normally wouldn’t have made, then wafting the tail free on several hits all the way to the beach. The speed the Proxy material and board design generates has changed my outlook on what is makable and not.

This board has been through 2 successful competitive seasons 07/08 and 08/09 and is still going strong and riding like the day I got it two years later.

I can’t remember the last time I’ve had boards that long!

In the summer of 2008, it went with me to Kandui in the Mentawaii Island chains.  I broke 2 leashes while riding this board and the board washed across DRY REEF on both losses, the second time across the reef at HEAVY Rifles.  The boat guys tried several times in vain to get it, but it was too dangerous with the surge. I put on tennis shoes (that’s how much I love this board) and walked out in treacherous conditions to retrieve it expecting to find the board smashed to smithereens.  Part of the leash was caught around a coral head really adding to the tension! The collateral damage was a couple of spider cracks along the rail and they came out after a very light sanding.

Still looked like new! Everyone, boat guys

and other surfers, couldn’t believe the board wasn’t destroyed.

I have 2 Greased Pigs, 2 Accelerators, 2 SR71s, a 4-Leaf Clover w/ tri fin setup too, Blackbird II, El Pavote, and an Ante Up.  All are Proxy epoxy and I ride and absolutely love every one of them.  I welcome ANY questions and feedback on how they all ride to my email below. If you’re on the fence about trying one of Proctor’s Proxy epoxy boards, don’t be. You’ll never look back!  See you in the water.

God Bless and Aloha,

Hey Todd,

I ordered a custom 6’2 G4-E from you about half a year go or so and I half to say

I am greatly impressed…

I have put the board through hell

being that I am new to surfing and this was my fist board that wasn’t borrowed..

My surfing has progressed really fast

and I have been thinking about getting another board from you for waves chest high and below… I moved to okinawa and I am surfing reef breaks.

I would like a board that can catch pretty much anything, is loose, and fast. I learn quick so don’t worry too much about my experience.

I remember when I first got my board from you and everyone says dude that board is going to be way to hard for you to learn on and how it would be to fast for me.. The first wave I went for was about waist high and choppy and I caught it..

I fell in love with that board instantly..

Although the board has been through 2-3 foot VA mush to overhead hurricane bill swell in OBX to waist-head high hollow Okinawa reef breaks, I would like to have something a little more loose and fast on the smaller waves.. I also want to try out your polyproxy construction this time as well. What do you think about a quad?

I won’t be ready to order for a couple months but I am serious about getting this board.

I also have a friend who loves how strong

my board is and how few pressure dings it has in it

and is getting a board from you when I get mine.. All I have is good things to tell people about your board and service..

Thanks a lot for jump starting my surfing

and I look forward to getting new boards from you in the future and spreading your name. Just let me know what you have in mind for me.

Take care,
Vaughn, 19, Chesapeake, Virginia
