Trouble is I sold all my short boards and only want to use the Rascal

Buenas tardes…..
The Rascal has been nothing short of amazing,changed my surfing forever!

Trouble is i sold all my short boards and only want to use the Rascal and its on its last legs. I keep patching it up trying to prolong its life.

I took it out in 4ft barrels today when everybody else was on skinny short boards and i swear i got more waves than anyone!!

and it took the drops just fine, I love it. Its my magic carpet!!

But its winter here now and i know i need a board that can handle a little more size and is more suited to the barrel but i dont want to got to the “traditional” short board.

I was thinking of the Monsta series. You do so many nice shapes is too hard to choose.

In my mind your boards suit my philosophy on surfing and no other shaper can match.

Plus you both seem really down-to-earth, humble nice people….difficult to find in the surfing world these days.

You guys need to come to Europe to shape some boards. Thanks so much, Nikai.

hands down performs better then any other board I have tried

Todd / Charissa,

Sorry it took so long for me to write but it was awhile before we received some good swell for me to give the board a going over and since then

I have been having the most fun in my life surfing with it.

But before I get to the board I wanted to thank you for the most impressive service I’ve seen in awhile. You both were easily accessible, I never had to wait long for any sort of response to
questions and I felt the service was done with a smile. From Todd calling me in Spain and taking his time to discuss the board with me to Charissa keeping me updated on its progress, the service was high class all the way.

Now about the board….

First off it looks totally sick.potsep1.jpg

The kevlar looks awesome as does the greyish color from the glassing. Combined with the digital camo that you put on the bottom of the board it looks totally insane. I received tons of looks and comments about how incredible it looks and needless to say I love it.

As for the performance,

I don’t know what you do Todd but you must

cast a spell or sprinkle magic dust over it or something because this

hands down performs better then any other board I have tried.

I thought after reading your testimonials that maybe it was just a lot of hype but no – the board actually contains the properties of magic.
It almost feels like it is spring loaded just waiting to be fired. The best part about it has to be the way it handles turns as this is when it really shows its quality. The speed you get when coming off of the top of the lip is incredible.

You can feel the board ‘spring’ off of the top and it feels a little like a sling shot.

I can’t stress enough how much better this aspect of the board is compared to other boards I’ve ridden. I seriously feel like I’m “flying” coming off the lip and down the face.

Since I have had the board I feel like I have taken my

surfing to a new level and I’m having way more fun in the water.

I also feel like you listened during our consultation interview to what I needed. The board is a nice balance for taking my surfing a level up yet keeping in mind my level of experience and size.

You shaped it spot on.

Anyway I couldn’t have asked for anything more and you can count me as your customer for life. I’ve attached a photo of the underside of the board and will send some more when I can get some shots of it in the water. Keep up the great work and service. If you guys ever head to Spain or Portugal let me know and maybe we can meet up and ride a few.

Muchas gracias por todo. Mis mejores deseos.

it paddles you like a dream… That´s true mate!!

Hello there!!!

Well, I´m lost of words… what can I say?
Everything is so perfect!: the way you send it (perfectly protected), the fins (really incredible!), the leash, the boardbag… and the board itself!!!
Hey Todd, I´m sure I´m gonna fly with the Twin Fang.

It is such a perfect shape!!

I really love the fins, they look like the dorsal fin of a reef shark… And the chekered pattern…
As soon as I surf with it I´ll tell how it goes.

THANKS GUYS!!
Aloha….

[the next day]

Hey people, this is not real… This afternoon I could surf the Twin Fang!!! Yeeeeeessss!!! Incredible as it appears! I just got it yesterday and today the first surfing session…

Do you really wanna know what do I think of the board??…
Surfing the Proctor Twin Fang is just insane!!
I´ve found the surfboard I was looking for. Because of the size, because of the thickness, because of the two fins system… because the professional way they made it!!

It is a kind of rocket, you know? It gives such a speed that you can get out the wave, ride the flat sea… and get home…I can go through the sections as I never did.

The cut-backs… they´re incredible!!.

That tail… why can it be so special?

Looks like the board is alive; so tame and so fast and maneuvrable at the same time. And, as his shaper says, it paddles you like a dream… That´s true mate!!

Tomorrow forecast bring us good news… It seems we´ll be able to ride it again… Yeah! They say I paid too much.

I say the board has been worth it.

Thanks Todd. Thanks for helping me to persevere as a mediterranean surfer. It´s difficult to surf here properly and now looks like I started to surf again. From now on, it will take me a long time to ride a thruster.
Thanks Charissa and thanks to all the Proctor Team.

As soon as I get some photograph/video I´ll send it.

Aloha,
