It plained out so nice today and is magic under my feet.

So much fun and paddling out and onto waves is a breeze.

Thanks again for all the help. I’m looking forward to making my morning commute to work on the carver!

Very stable, no “wobble” and fit nicely in the pocket of these Hawaiian waves.

Was very easy for me to turn left/right, pump up and down the line and float over white wash sections with amazing ease.

So bouyant that it just floated over the froth

and into a connecting section of the wave to keep the ride going.

I’ll fill out the secure order form here quickly. Brandon was a bit jealous. Haven’t let him try it out yet as I’m still enjoying it way too much.

Michael’s daughter Keira helping him wax up his board with colored wax…
“The surfboard is a canvas. Every wax change will be a new opportunity for Keira to create.”

Met up and surfed with Joel Centeio today at Chun’s. He loved the Comanche 6 btw…

I just took my new board out last night for the first time

and I am in LOVE with it!!!

It rides so nicely and is super light weight.

There is no comparison between my previous board and this board!

I can’t wait to hit the waves again tomorrow!!

Thank you guys SO much,

Greetings Proctor Family,

Just wanted to say all is well here in Afghanistan and I really, really, really miss my Apache!

I’ll be taking leave in December for Christmas with the family

(and for good conditions on the North Shore)

and I’ll be linking back up with Brandon McConnell who now lives on the point between Lani’s and Chun’s. Can’t wait.

Hope all is well with the biz and that your still helping folks along with their journey in life and surfing.

DearTodd and Charissa,

As promised here are two pictures of Brandon and I with our Apaches.  This picture was taken right before we took Brandon back to the airport so he could fly to Iraq to finish the last three months of his tour.  I’ll be flying to Afghanistan on the 1st of April.

Thank you both so much

for the hard work and enabling us

to have such a fun time on the water.

We’ll protect your freedom so you can work hard to help us enjoy ours .

Yall are truly amazing people and I look forward to getting home safely and getting back out on the surf.

Tell Todd that I’ll be looking for an “end of tour completely custom board” when I return from Afghanistan.  The name of the Infantry Company I command is “The Comanches” so it might have to be a bit more custom than the apache haha.

More to follow as I dream of this new board over the next year……..take care and God Bless!

WOW!  I just got Brandon’s board today from Fedex.  I pick him up at midnight tonight at the Airport.  I’m sorry, I couldnt resit opening the box, I justified it by telling myself that I had to check it for shipment damages from the deliver, (of course there were none, but I knew this ) and I must say I was blown away by the design!  Todd did a great job with the paint job!  At least he’ll be camoflauged from all the Tiger Sharks on the North Shore now.  Y’all continue to impress.  Thanks for your kind words and prayers.  Hopefully when I return I’ll see Proctor surfboards making their way into local shops around the island.  I have a feeling that these two boards will generate some more business from the island for y’all.  Tomorrow when we hit the surf we’ll be sure to take a picture to send yall of the terrible twosome with the sickest boards on the island!

Dealing with your company so far has been nothing short of exempary in the service department.  I admire the professionalism and the acute attention to details, both in custom design and customer satisfaction.  I have only seen pictures of my board and know what to expect.  I’m sure, based on my satisfaction with your service thus far that the finished product will be equally enjoyable.

Please, always continue to do what you do.

Providing that custom product directly

transfers into my holistic enjoyment of the ocean

and the freedom you provide every customer

with your business and passion for the sport

is highly comendable.

One thing is for sure, I will miss this board very much while I’m in the mountains of Afghanistan!

Michael B, Hawaii

it’s the fastest board I have ever owned.

I love it!

I’m looking forward to purchasing

another Titanium Series Board in the Future.

was on a surf fast for Easter when it came in and finally got around to surfing it consistently.

totally love it!

eyeballing an accelerator or lil’ rascal real soon.

much mahalos!

6’4″ x 19 5/8″ x 2 9/16″ wide squash tail Greased Pig

I have a 6’0″ El Pavote.

6’2″ G4E.

6’2″ SR-71.6’4″ Blackbird.

All by the way are out of this world.

I will never buy from anyone else,

you got me dialed in to a T.

So my El Pavote as I see it has my smaller wave base covered, the G4E and Blackbird has evrything above that , and the SR-71 is for the Bread and Butter.

By the way I was in Puerto with that board

and it was solid 8-10 ft and

me and that board were one from the first wave.

Please keep that one on file for sure.

Me and my wife travel frequently and I have family in Hawaii so I would like to have some boards built for over there and Indo.

Pretty much whereever we go I want to have something I can go to.That said, I think I have my shortboard side of it all complete for the most part. My Blackbird being 6’4″ is the biggest out of your boards. And going to different places especially Hawaii I am going to need bigger boards, Bottom Line.

So I will need an Ante Up

I’m thinking how Tamayo had his set up.

Size I will leave to you. I might even need two. One bigger than the other. Im thinking 6’7″ and one maybe 6’10″. I will need one for when Pipe starts showing its colors, here I’m thinking Pipecleaner, maybe 7’2″ish. And one for big sunset/Pipe for here I was leaning twards the West Peak, maybe 7’10″-8’4.

And finally the gnarly Big Daddy for Da Bay/Mavs…

here goes back to the one you have on your showroom wall, the 10’2″.If you think that particular board would suit me I forget the width and thickness of it but atleast 3 plus inches thick for sure. In otherwords I dont want to big of a gap in the size’s of boards I have. If the surfs there then I wanna be prepared and I wanna do it on one of your boards. I like what you stand for and I think your the best shaper around so thats where Im putting my money. And these boards, call me particular but I like my boards to be as strong as possible(Super Duty) if you will.

Boards arent cheap and I want not only longevity with them but durability. Albeit I understand if I put it in the wrong place that not even triple 6oz. e glass will hold it intact. But you get where Im coming from.So In a nutshell that is what I’m looking to accomplish with the remainder of my quiver. Tell me what you think and I hope that helps you into understanding what Im trying to do. All in all I just want the board I need for when the time arises to be there in my quest for the ultimate ride. So we could even try out like SR-71/AnteUp or things like that. Or even take from what you have done with the Monsta(Lower entry and increased numbers off the tail) into all of them. Anyway dont wanna take anymorer of your time but let me know whaen you get around to it. Have a blessed day.
