what are the waves like that you need a Rascal for?
Hi Proctor Team,
I live down in Huntington beach and have been hearing a lot of good things about your boards. I was wondering if there was a dealer close to Huntington so I can walk in and take a look at some boards, or is the only shop in Ventura?
All the best,
Lawrence
Hi Lawrence,
I build the majority of my boards custom…
direct to surfers,
so I do not deal with accounts really except for distribution companies outside of the U.S. The best thing would be for you to come up to our Ventura factory/ showroom…this is where all the boards are made. If you can find a way to make it up, it really is worth it. The best thing to do is to set up an appointment letting us know when you are coming up and I can meet with you, show you the different board models we have in stock here that would work good for you…It is a good idea to bring your old boards to show me what you are coming off and the explain to me the direction you want to go with your surfing i.e. more carvy, more airs, fins free stuff, etc…
then I break down what is going to
be the best board design
and dimensions for you to go with to get you where you want to take your surfing. That is what I have done for over 17 years with surfers and this unique personal approach really gets you the board that is going to be the best for you.
Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have.
Looking forward to your reply,
Aloha,
Todd
Hey Todd,
Many thanks for the email.
Your website is probably the most
informative website
I have come across in my search for the ultimate small wave board. It doesn’t take much to get me up to SB. I’m traveling a fair bit the next 2weeks for work, but will try to make it up during the latter part of Feb. I’ll keep you posted. Look forward to visiting the shop.
All the best,
Lawrence
Sounds great Lawrence,
I look forward to hearing from you/ meeting you later in the month.
Aloha,
Todd
Hey Todd,
Is the shop in ventura open on sunday? Do you also carry used boards? If so do you have any lil rascals in the 6’3 to 6’6 range? All the best, Lawrence
Hi Lawrence,
Sorry to take so long to get back with you….had a lot on my plate lately…anyway, we are not open on Sundays, but we are open Saturdays. I don’t have any used Rascals in that size range at the moment, but I may have a friend who is going to sell a 6’6″ Rascal….he is sizing down to a 6’3″. He really likes his 6’6″ but has recently dropped like 20 pounds so is ordering a smaller one, but probably will be looking to sell the 6’6″ maybe….I could check into it if you like? What is your height, weight, age, how long have you been surfing,
what are the waves like that you need a Rascal for?
If you let me know those things, I am more than happy to detail the perfect dimensions/ design for a Rascal for you. Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on a magic Lil Rascal. Looking forward to your reply,
Aloha,
Todd
Hey Todd,
No worries…
I grew up surfing on the outer banks
(North Carolina),
started surfing in the fifth grade…In 2001 I moved to New York where I worked in finance. by 2006 I was married, just welcomed my first daughter into the world, and could count on two hands the number of times I had been surfing. Life’s too short…we pulled the rip cord on NYC beginning part of 2007 and moved to socal. I’m still in finance, so 2008 was an interesting year, but still able to spend more time with my girls and in the water…
I’m 6’3, 190-200lbs, and 30yrs old.
grew-up surfing longboards and your typical shortboard thruster range in size from 6’8 to 7’0. Looking to broaden my horizon on surfboard design to challenge and improve my surfing..I think the rascal would be a good substitute for my longboard, plus I live in Huntington beach,
where the waves sometimes have soft shoulders
even when chest to head high and would be a good substitute for my shortboard.
I have never really surfed fish designs…
so this is a new experience for me. if I had to guess the optimal dimensions on a rascal for me would be 6’3,21, 2 3/4… but to avoid early frustrations, I might want to get something a little bit larger..what do you think? experienced wise, I would classify myself as intermediate..not taking anything vertical, but I love speed and power moves…
Many thanks,
Lawrence
