next level rung in the ladder of performance surfing

Hey Todd and Charissa,

This is Jeff. You guys customed me a lil’ rascal end of last season. I just wanted to write you guys an email and let you know that so far this season it has been epic. The board rips, and is super fun. So glad my sister hooked that up.

My skill level has jumped tenfold

and my stoke even more!

Now on to business….
Within the next probably three to four months I am thinking about picking up a shortboard. With the results I had from dealing with Proctor I am for sure going to be getting it through you guys. The only thing I am unsure of is what exactly I am looking for. Like I said before my skill has jumped but I dont think I am out of the beginner woods just yet. Basically any info you could throw at me in regards to what I should be looking at would be awesome. No rush! I know you guys have a lot on your plates.

I’m basically looking to keep

developing skill wise, and step up

to some bigger waves and bigger challenges.

I hope this email finds you both in good health, and better spirits.
-Jeff

Hey Jeff,

Todd here….sorry to take so long to get back to you….just been super slammed. Anyway, Charissa said she dialed you in on all the price stuff for the different constructions…..so now for my part….well, first off, I’m really stoked that the board we did has been such a blessing to you and has improved your surfing that much….that’s the goal I shoot for, so that’s sick.

As for a shortboard design,

the ideal one for you right now

at this stage would be the G-4.f

This board model is my most versatile all-around high performance shortboard that works in everything from knee high mush to overhead and heavy and hollow.

The best dimensions for you would be something in the 6’10” x 20” x 2 5/8” range. Drop the length down from your last board, bring the width in and thin it out a bit.

This will challenge you, but not

frustrate you and get you to the

next level rung in the ladder of performance surfing.

Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on a custom Proctor G-4.f. Looking forward to your reply,
Aloha,

Todd

I thought surfing would just go down hill after 40

Hi Todd,
This is Mark from Taiwan.
Got the proxy Greased Pig in June, but we had the longest flat spell ever until last week we had some shoulder to head high Typhoon waves.

As usual the board works insane

and you got the volume just right,

It’s even faster and fits tighter

in the pocket than my PU Greased Pig.

Thanks for another great board and my surfing is improving everyday.

I thought surfing would just go down hill after 40.

With all the speed of the Greased Pig

I am starting to pull air on a regular basis

and it’s only a matter of time before I  land them.

I saw your new creation The Monsta and the board looks and sounds insane.  My friend Mao Mao wrote to you to compare the Monsta with the Greased Pig, which is what I recommended him to get.  You said it’s faster, catches waves easier, fits in the pocket better and can surf bigger and smaller waves than the Greased Pig.  Sounds too good to be true!  I have to get one!  What dimensions would you recommend for me in proxy?

Would the Monsta work in Bali reef breaks?

Hope all is well,

I just spent two months in Bali with it

Hello again

I was wondering if it was possible to order another board?  The board you guys made for me was great.

I just spent two months in Bali with it

and it has really helped me with my surfing.

I feel its time to take things to the next level.

So I’ve decided to go for a short board.  Don’t really know what size i should get but I was thinking an epoxy board because of traveling.  My measurements are 105 kg (231 lb) and 193 cm tall (6’3″).  Im an intermediate surfer.  I was thinking of a board that I can duck dive with.

Thanks a lot

Helge Bjornebye
Lil’ Rascal: 7’0″ x 22 1/2″ x 3″ swallow tail

Hi Helge,

Wow, two months in Bali….that sounds awesome!! I love Bali.
Anyway, the next level for you would be either (1) The Monsta….
Or (2) The Big Chief.
I’ll give you a brief breakdown of each for you to decide which sounds like the way you want to go….

The Monsta is similar to the Rascal in that it is easy to catch waves with and carries a lot of speed on the wave, however

the Monsta has a more shortboardy

nose outline and a more progressive rocker

allowing for more high performance style shortboard maneuvers on the wave than the Rascal. To make for easier duckdiving and to shed some of the extra foam, I suggest going 6’6” x 21” x 2 ¾” with a wide squashtail for big turns and nice release off the top.

The Big Chief is more of a standard

shortboard design, but build for guys over 200lbs.

This is a very versatile board and works excellent in high performance waves with conditions like Bali or shoulder high to overhead conditions. It favors waves that have some push and a more progressive high performance approach. If you are looking for full on high performance designed specifically for your build, then this would be the one. I recommend dimensions for this board at 6’8” x 20 ½” x 2 ¾” with a standard squashtail.

I also definitely recommend our unique Proxy/ custom epoxy construction….this is the highest grade board I make for both strength and performance. They are approximately 3-5 times stronger than polyester boards.
So, please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on a magic custom Proctor….either the Monsta or the Big Chief….you can’t really go wrong with either of those. Looking forward to your reply,
Aloha,

Todd

hey

thanks for the fast reply and the great response.  After looking over the boards I think I’ll go for the proxy epoxy construction.  As for the size of the board I’ll leave it up to the experts.

board for the smaller waves of the summer and for beach break

Hi Todd and Charissa.

My name’s Kyle and I’m a surfer from Van Isle Canada.  The waves recently have died off after an amazing winter consisting of an Indo trip and some amazing pacific surf.  What a winter we had, I’m sure it was just as good down there if not better.  Over the last few years I’ve surfed everything from a 6″1 stretch quad, a 6″3 by 18 3/4 by 2 3/8 squash tail, and now over the last trip and winter I’ve been mainly on a 6″4 by 19 by 2 5/8  rounded pin.

I’m a pretty big guy, 6″3 and anywhere

from 190 to 205 depending.

I also for the most part have to wear a 6 mil wetsuit

up here so that must add a bit of weight too.  I’d say I’m an intermediate surfer by Canadian standards.  I hold my own at all my local breaks and can do pretty good off the lips and cutbacks etc but I’m not quite boosting airs as of yet.

I’m really interested in getting a board for the

smaller waves of the summer and

for beach break missions to Costa Rica

and really just for your average days.  From looking over your amazing website the two boards I think that would suit me the most are the Rascal 2 and the Falcon.

I think I’m leading a little more towards the

Falcon just because it sounds like a

bit more of an all around board

as I’m sure as soon as I get on it I wont want to get off of it.  I do want the drive through flat sections and am really interested in the whole “skateboard” feel of the Rascal 2 so I was just wondering if you thought the Falcon would offer that as well.  I was also wondering what you thought the ideal dimensions would be for me and lastly what the shipping costs would be to either Vancouver or Victoria BC Canada. Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to your input and a new surfboard!

Kyle

Hi Kyle,

Nice to meet you….sounds like you got some goodies this winter….yea the waves were really good here too!!

Ok, so the magic board for you would be

a 6’0″ x 20″ x 2 5/8″ Falcon.

This is the high performance all around shortboard version of the Rascal II. Still carries the same speed through flat spots and has that same skateboardy feel, but is more responsive in the critical parts of the wave and will go more vertical without the front end hiccupping when bringing it back around. The deck is flatter than that of a traditional board and the volume of the foam carried out to a fuller boxier rail. Packing and shipping to your door is approximately $150.00 and includes full coverage insurance.
Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on a magic Falcon. Looking forward to your reply,
aloha,

Todd

Hey Todd.  That sounds exactly like what I’m looking for.  You have an epoxy falcon 6″0 x 20″ x 2 1/2″ in stock right now which I would love to order but it is 1/8″ thinner and I’m not sure if that would make a big difference.  What do you think?  Thanks a lot.

Kyle

super fast high performance surfboard

Hi Todd,

How are you Divine Shape Master? I ordered a poly Rascal II with my friend Mark (who ordered a Greased Pig) last year from you and had them shipped to Taiwan,

and the boards have been the magic carpet

we’ve been searching for for the last 4 years,

I ride it in 2 foot slop to overhead

and it goes awesome.

Now I would like to have something that surfs more like a regular short board but still have the groveler qualities too. My friend Steve  also ordered a Greased Pig (EPS) and

he and I are about the same build

(5’9″, 190 pounds, his EPS Greased Pig is

6’0″x19.5×2.5 with channels and 5-fin option).

What dimensions would you make my Greased Pig if I ordered one?

I would like to get the Proxy Epoxy version with the round elliptical channels and the five-fin option. I would like to have it shipped to my friend’s place in OC and he will bring it to taiwan for me. Thanks so much for you input on this, take care and talk to you soon.
David
http://www.proctorsurf.com/Surf-Boards/Rascal-II

Hi David,

Thanks for your glowing greeting….wow, I’m humbled by your stoke….yeawhoo. I checked the dimensions from your Rascal II and read through your comments below….

the magic Greased Pig would be

5’10” – 6’0” x 19 ¼” – 19 ½” x 2 ½”.

If your Rascal II paddled you fine and you think you could go a touch smaller than I think you could drop down to the 5’10 x 19 ¼” dims for a Greased Pig, but if the Rascal feels just right, than you would want to go with the slightly larger dims i.e. 6’0” x 19 ½”.

The rocker is more than a Rascal, but still flatter than a convention shorty…..and the outline is also more pulled in than the Rascal, but fuller than a conventional shortboard.

So basically you get a super fast

high performance board

with more of a shortboard feel in maneuvers and in critical areas of the more hollow steeper parts of the wave,

but still maintaining the easy speed feel

very much similar to that of the Rascal boards.

The four parabolic channels work insane on this board and I recommend them for sure …..as well as the five fin option.  Charissa mentioned to me that you wanted to know if the tail is narrower and more tuned for making pockety surfing easier than on the Rascal….the answer is yes it is slightly narrower as well as a bit more bend/ rocker through the fin cluster to allow the board to pull a tighter arc in the critical zone.

The tail block is also more pulled in than the Rascal, but not as pulled as a normal performance shorty. Ok, well hope that answers your questions. Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. We can do skype too if that works for you as sometimes it is really hard for me to follow up e-mail in as timely manner as I would like….but whatever works best for you…

Aloha,
Todd

what I am looking for, is to have an all around quiver

Hi Todd :

This is Antonio, from Taiwan ( falcon surfboard )

I have been thinking in adding one or two of your boards to my quiver.  I am going back home for summer vacations at the end of June and have to make a stop in LA, so doesn’t have to pay extra for the shipment is really tentative.

I also we be road traveling and surfing during the holidays

( Guatemala, el salvador and maybe Nicaragua ).

Anyways, what I am looking for, is to have an all around quiver, if possible with 2 boards but if you recommend me 3 ( including the falcon )  to cover all, I will agree with your opinion.

As I mentioned to you Taiwan wave are not the so powerfull, but they can get during thyphoons. So I have been thinking to add a more shortboard style  for those good days in Taiwan, but with abilities to work in not only perfect conditions ( Monsta :) vs Accelerator vs Greased Pig II ) and for the typhoon season and traveling a round pin tail with more rocker and good versatility ( blakbird vs sr-71).

But what do I know! Please let me know you recommendation, last time was the perfect choice.

Really looking forward to get the sickest quiver in Taiwan !!!

Some info about me:
Height: 5’8
Weight:
Age: 24
Level: Intermediate ( learning fast )

A.Parlange

by the way everyone who tries your falcon, loves it !!!

Hi Antonio,

Good to hear from you. Sounds like you are going to have some fun surfing holidays. I have heard and seen really good waves in Nicaragua and I know Guatemala and El Salvador are really good too….exciting.
As for the first board….the Monsta is still kinda similar to the Falcon you have already. So I would go with either the Accelerator at 6’0″ x 18 5/8″ x 2 1/4″ with a rounded squash or swallowtail…or you could go with a Greased Pig II at 5’10″ x 18 7/8″ x 2 5/16″ with a swallowtail.

The Greased Pig II is faster in small waves

than the Accelerator, but the Accelerator

is fast also, but more responsive in the

faster hollow shaped small waves.

I would tend towards the Greased Pig II I think that would be a good call for you for a small wave high performance board that carries quick speed and is still versatile and will handle up to head high.

The second board I know for sure you should go with a 6’2″ x 18 1/2″ x 2 5/16″ SR-71 with a thumbtail/ round pin.

This is my personal favorite board

and it just works insane when the

waves are good….the increased rocker allows

you to surf the bigger/ hollower days with

the perfect blend of speed and control for

quick top to bottom pocket ripping.

Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on a Greased Pig II and SR-71 for home and adventures. Looking forward to your reply,

Aloha, Todd

Hi Todd:

Thanks for your time, explaining me the options. Really appreciate it.

I think the SR-71 will fit perfectly for those typhoon days and to take it for surfing really good waves during trips.  I have read some people change this board to fulcrum, what is the difference or advantage ?

The Fulcrum is a subtle design change-up in the rocker which makes the board more versatile…..going good in smaller waves and still in good waves too and with that same SR-71 smooth carving speed feel….just in a wider range of surf and conditions. I decrease the entry rocker and increase the tail rocker….this makes the board faster paddling into waves early, quicker down the line and looser and more responsive in the pocket and through maneuvers.

The one I’m not sure is the middle one, you have so many options in this range, and all of them looks great and to fit my needs.

This is my opinion, I will really appreciate your input, last time your advice was the perfect decision.

Greased pig II; the newest model of all :) , looks like a really good small to medium wave board with tons of speed, but so the falcon, how diferenciates with it? Have you made it with a squash tail?

The Greased Pig II has more rocker than the falcon, but less than a “good waves” performance shortboard….so it is still quick in small waves, yet has more hold and responsiveness going vertical….more snappy in the pocket and a little less carvy on the face.

Accelerator; I like the responsiveness in faster hollow waves you explain to me, and the fact you choose it as your quiver board together with the Sr-71 and the falcon. But that was before the greased pig II came alive, so not sure if overall the greased pig suit me better.

Currently my personal favorites are the SR-71/G-4.f, the accelerator, the greased pig II, and the Pavote. I ride them in that order from big and clean waves to small and mushy.

G4 E & F (not sure about the diference); I saw John ( a friend from Taidong, Taiwan ) surfing it, and after that, I read the description in your page and looks also a really good all around shortboard, with tons of versatility.

Blackbird; this have been my favorite board since the first time I saw your boards, looks just amazing!!! I was hoping you will recommend me that one, but maybe is not for me. Looks to work in everything with more punch and a little more size, that my falcon needs. If the blackbird II on production now? How do you think will fit with the falcon & sr-71, maybe a squash tail a little bit more wider outline could work?

yea actually this is a great board and probably one of the most popular with pro surfers….it looks the vertical fins free surfing and is a very back footed board. Some people don’t like it that much in small waves, but most surfers love it in good waves and for doing the most modern progressive maneuvers. I do a version with a slightly fuller outline which makes it more of an all-around board instead of just a good waves board. If you like the looks of it and the description and have always wanted to try that one, then I say go for it….it is for sure a winner.

I think that’s all of my choices, in the final I  will choose the board you think will fit me better between the falcon and the sr-71. As I mentioned to you, I looking for the most balanced quiver possible!

The Greased Pig II would be the one that would fit right in the middle between those two boards the best.

Sorry for all the questions, is hard to choose when you don’t  have the proper knowledge and experienced with surfboards.

Thanks again for your time and patience, really glad to have the opportunity to buy my boards from you.

Saludos, A.Parlange

Hi Todd…Thanks for the reply !

After reading your last mail,

I have decided to go with the SR-71 fulcrum

and the Greased pig II as you recommend me.

great

About the greased pig, I saw in the older greased pig you made it also with a squash tail, and instead of the winger a hip. Personally I like it more in that way, but not sure if you still recommend that changes with the new greased pig II. Please if possible, let me know your opinion about that changes ?

The greased Pig II can be ordered with the wide hip squash tail …and that is what I recommend as well…

I was thinking to put some carbon rails to the GP2, same as my falcon, the falcon feels great in the small and not to powerful surf, really lively and kind of accelerates or make you feel that turns faster. What is your experienced with the GP2 w/carbon rails, do you also recommend it ?

It works great with the carbon rails….I recommend it….very springy and lively.

About the Sr-71, no changes other than the fulcrum, other than that, I will like it as you recommend me.

I send you my info again, last time I forgot to put my weight, so we can confirm the best dimensions for me;

Dimensions listed previously are perfect for your height and weight….so that should remain the same.

Height: 5’8 ft (1.74 m)
Weight: 160 lb
Age: 24

Thanks for your time helping me to decide my boards! Really looking forward to tried them !

Your welcome, my pleasure. I will have Charissa e-mail the breakdown/ invoice for everything later this week or early next week as we are having a bit of a stay at home vacation this week….but still following up on some works stuff as time permits. Speak soon, Aloha, Todd

super quick board, but with the hold and maneuverability of a performance shortboard

Todd,

Since moving to San Diego from the SF Bay Area about five years ago,

I have been on a quest to find a small wave board

for average everyday surf.

I’ve experimented with everything from groveler type boards to modernized fish types and have not been able to find that magic shape that I can ride in area reef and beach breaks when the surf is small and mushy to somewhat punchy/decent in the knee to shoulder high range.

Complicating matters is that I’m a 40 yr old 200 lb guy.

However, I’m in good shape and surf 2-3 times a week.

My current small wave board is a quad fish (6’0” x 21” x 2.4”) with a concave deck, fairly pulled in tail and volume moved out towards the rails. It works well in mushy surf of any size up to head high, but struggles in the more punchy stuff with setting that fat rail and vertical turning in the pocket.

I love the down the line speed of the fish,

but want to be able to do short board moves in small surf.

I’m thinking I want more of a groveler type and am interested in your Greased Pig but also very curious about the Apache. My regular short board is a 6’6” x 19.5” x 2.65” swallow tail. I really won’t pull that board out unless it is head high and good and is mainly a Blacks board. If the surf surpasses the 8’ mark I have a 6’8” step-up for that. I’m trying to maintain a three board quiver and that small board is going to be a primary ride workhorse, so I need something that is pretty versatile. My style is pretty heavy footed and I use the rail a lot for turns. What do you suggest?

John

Hi John,

I think you’re spot on the right track and have done your homework super good.

The Greased Pig is what you’re looking for…..

super quick board, but with the hold and

maneuverability of a performance shortboard.

I would go 6’2′ – 6’4″ x 20″ x 2 5/8″+.

For heavy footed powerful guys

I make the concaves slightly heavier…..

this gives the board  nice positive hold when you push hard on it, it pushed back with positive speed this way. The Greased Pig surfs quick in the pocket and will keep things way more vertical than a typical fish or grovely kind of board.
The Apache is rad too, but for you I think you will gain more of the vertical thing and a more versatile board for you area of waves than with the Apache who’s fuller nose can get a little touchy sometimes when you wanna through right in the hook….the Apache’s best qualities are at the pointbreak setups.
Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be frothin’ on a Greased Pig.
Looking forward to your reply,
aloha,

Todd

Todd,

Thanks for your response. The Greased Pig sounds like what I’m looking for.

The Greased Pig

What type of board would Todd recommend for a beach break type of wave that is really short and pretty weak?

What type of board would Todd recommend for a beach break type of wave that is really short and pretty weak?

Looking for something that can generate speed very quickly as the wave doesn’t give you much time to build speed.

Ok, this is where one of those new designs I was talking about would go insane…..

cause I realize everybody almost everywhere has conditions like what you describe…so that’s why I designed the “Monsta”: you ride this board a couple inches longer than a Rascal, about 1/4″ narrower and right around the same volume maybe just a hair less on the rail volume. I’m using the same basic rail line rocker as the Rascal II, but have dug out all the spiral vee through the back third of the board and run instead an even single concave throughout the entire bottom of the board with inset double concaves through the back 1/3 of the board and through the fins….there is even a slight concave running right off the tailblock. This gives the board a wide open sweet spot, a lot of quick get up and go right off the bat, and also gives the board really positive hold through more critical, vertical turns in the pocket. The outline is changed up to more of a full outlined shortboard as opposed to a roundnosed front end. I think you could go 5’7″ x 19″ x 2 1/4″ Monsta with a winged diamond tail or a wide hip squash. Don’t need channels with this new hull contour, but the five fin is still sick for it.

My friend is interested in a board too…he’s a big dude though…5’11 220 lbs.

He rides a Boardworks Epoxy Hynson Fish 6’6 x 21” 7/8 x 2” 3/4 — has Todd made boards for big guys?

I make tons of boards for bigger guys actually….

since many stock boards in shops don’t have what is right for a lot of these guys, I am able to give them something that is the right volume, yet still a board they can rip on….and not just a big plug. I think he would be stoked on a Monsta also. I think he could drop it down a bit, but keep the thickness up…..like 6’3″ x 21 1/2″ x 2 7/8″ with a winged diamond or a wide hip squash.  Five fin setup is good too. I’ll have Charissa send you a picture of what I’m talking about tomorrow. I’ve got a bunch of them going right now for guys around here they are starting to take off. Please let me know your thoughts when you’ve received the new pics of the Monsta. BTW….this is my current favorite board and I’ve been riding it in everything unless it’s way overhead…Ok well hope that helps. Talk to you soon, and thanks again for the killer review,

Aloha,

Todd

Hey Todd, thanks for the detailed insight…haven’t met too many shaperswilling to provide so much detail and explanation.

Hope you don’t mind but I had a few questions. What is the difference

in performance between the rascal 2 and monsta?

How does the monsta compare to the other rascal variations like the

falcon or el pavote?

Also, how does the monsta perform compared to your small wave

grovelers eg greased pig &  Module?

Can’t wait to see photos of the monsta! I’ll show my buddy when I get

them. Thanks!

I am in pretty good shape, but want really good float for smaller waves

Hey Todd.

I was tooling around on the good ol’ internet and came across your email. I have heard great things about your boards.

I am particularly interested in possibly

your lil’rascal shape.

I am fall into the intermediate-advanced category and am 5′ 10 and around 190-200 pounds.

I am in pretty good shape,

but want really good float for smaller waves.

I have alonger 6’6 retro quad epoxy and a 6′ fish that is 3″ thick in the center and widest point being 21 and 3 1/4. It has single to double concaves with a v off the tail. It responds extremely well for a board this wide and thick. I am looking to jump down to a 5’8-5’10.

Just something small that can fit the face

of a smaller wave and something to just have

a blast on-however, I really want buoyancy as well.

I was thinking if I went down to a 5’8, may-be around 23″ wide and 3- 3 and 1/4 thick? Similar with a 5’10? I want a nice round tail. What do you think?
I really appreciate any info you may be able to help with.
Timmy

Hi Timmy,

Sorry to take so long to get back to you….just been super busy….
What type of waves are you going to be surfing with the board….all different, beachbreak (bowly or mushy?), or pointbreaks? Lemme know and I can detail the magic next level board for you. Just fyi you are on the right track with something from the Rascal series….I can nail it down exact which design and dimensions once I hear back from you.
Speak soon,
Aloha,
Todd

Hi Todd,

Thanks for writing back.

Well, my home break is Wrightsville Beach, NC.

It is all beach break here where I surf.

I do some traveling to the outer banks and such, but mostly here in Wrightsville.

We get quite a bit of mushy type waves

without alot of push, but do get days mixed in

where there is a little more punch to the waves.

Every once in a while we get some hollow surf, but those days are far and few between sadly. If it is not mushy, then we can also get some little racy waves that you pop up and just go.

I am a back foot surfer by nature as well.

The board I am riding now mostly is a Jimmy Keith Green Room epoxy that is 6′x3″x21-1/2. The deck is rolled out a bit, but the rails are more boxier type rails. It has a moderately thick foil as well. I am looking for a small board 5’8-5’10 that I can have a blast on and fit the curves of smaller waves, yet has quite a bit of float. Right now I weigh about 195-200 and am 5’9 or 10…on the way down in weight. I am in shape, but not a 130 pound grom that can catch a ripple. Thanks for the information Todd.
Sincerely,
Tim

Each of them are made for performance surfing in the weaker stuff

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 wont 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 allot for jumpstarting 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

Hi Vaughn,

Good to hear from you and stoked the board has gone so well for you….and in so many conditions….yew.

So here’s a few choices to choose from as to what I have in mind for the next magic board for smaller, mushier stuff to speed on:

Either the Greased Pig, the Greased Rascal,

The Rascal II or the Falcon….

one of these would be the board for you.

Each of them are made for performance

surfing in the weaker stuff.

They all generate incredible speed without having to rely on the wave to generate it for them. I recommend checking out the website to read a breakdown on each one….from there one of them will strike you as “the one”….that is the one to go with.  As far as dimensions go, what is your current height and weight. I can break down the ideal dimensions once I receive that info. If you have any questions regarding the different boards I listed above, please don’t hesitate to ask so I can give you any further explanation.

Ok, well speak soon,

Aloha,

Todd
