Type of waves you will be surfing with this board
ankle to over hand, Ireland
What boards are you currently riding?
currently riding a 6,6 thruster fish and 7,o fat boy.
Goal for consultation
I would like to detail/order my custom surfboard with Todd
Hey Felim,
I tried giving you a call, but couldn’t connect through because of the country code or something…not sure, but anyway…..
here is the magic Quad Fang dimensions
for your build and the waves where you surf…..
and to take your surfing to the next level:
5’8” – 5’10” x 20 ½” x 2 ½”.
This board is extremely fast in small waves and
I throw in some secret bottom contours
and rocker to give it responsiveness
and performance characteristics that make it much more versatile than a typical fish…..a really good choice.
Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on a magic Proctor Quad Fang.
Looking forward to your reply,
Aloha,
Todd
P.S. – Did I tell you that I’m part Irish and born on ST. Patrick’s day – yew?
Looking to go shorter, more responsive, but lets be real, I am 50, and probably a level 2 surfer. I would probably want it in EPS
Hi Todd,
I see that you are designing on a NMC machine. Very interesting, what a great idea.
Me, 6ft, 165lbs, fit, 50 years old. Started on a 9-6 Robert August, now on a 8ft- 3.5 inch thick pointing nose Infinity. Learned at LA point breaks, Sunset, Malibu, Latigo. Now surfing beach break at Venice and El Porto.
Looking to go shorter, more responsive,
but lets be real, I am 50, and probably a level 2 surfer.
I would probably want it in EPS.
I am in Venice, very easy for me to drive up to Ventura.
Thanks for your time, and thanks for pushing the board technology forward,
David
Hi David,
Thanks for your e-mail; nice to meet you.
The perfect next level board for you would be
the Lil’ Rascal.
This board has the paddleability of a longer/ thicker board and carries the speed of a retro/ fish style shape down the line, but maintains the responsiveness, maneuverability and holding capacities of a modern high performance shortboard…..
it combines the best of both worlds into one versatile board.
Ideal dimensions to drop down to would be in the 7′2″ – 7′6″ x 22 1/2″ x 3 1/4″.
This board is ideal for the LA points as well as the beachbreaks of Venice and El Porto where you’re surfing.
I recommend the Proxy construction.
The Prroxy is my name for our uniquely handcrafted composite construction. This is the highest grade board I make for both performance and strength.
The Proxy has the positive flex characteristic of anultralight polyester board,
but with three to five times the strength of a standard
polyester board…..and it is made custom (here in our
Ventura factory from start to finish) to the exact
dimensions that are going to be best for you.
The Proxy is slightly more buoyant which makes for good paddling and lively under your feet as well.
Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on a magic Proctor Lil’ Rascal.
Looking forward to your reply,
Aloha,
Todd
Hi Todd,
Thank you for your long and thoughtful reply. A few more questions for you.
Do you vent your Proxy boards to prevent delamination?
What would the cost be of the board you recommend, I am thinking a sand finish. How long would it take to make?
Best wishes,
David
Hi Dave,
The core material I use doesn’t require venting…
as is the case with other companies that use a recycled form of eps….thermoformed/ molded technologies i.e. surftech as well as firewire and others use a 1lb. or 1.5 lb typically. The recycled eps is a generic foam used in many different applications traditionally outside the surfboard industry, it is much cheaper, has very low compression strength as well as a high tendency to “vent” at high temperatures or at high altitudes due to the high porosity of the foam….ultimately this will cause foam shear or delamination.
Many companies that outsource their boards, those that mass produce outside the US, those who are trying to save on construction costs, or those that don’t understand the dynamics of different foams use this kind of eps foam in their boards. Then, they have to overcome the associated problems by venting their boards, poking tiny holes all over the skin of the glass job (as is the case with using a closed cell polystyrene) or some other weird thing to try to offset complications caused by using a poor core material.
Other problems associated with a poor core material is that you will be told to get immediately out of the water if you get a ding while surfing….this is to prevent water absorption into the board core……which can only be removed by applying a vacuum system to it….a nightmare which you should not have to worry about….(and you don’t by the way with the Proxy system).
I use a non recycled or ‘virgin bead’ epoxy foam
that is made for surfboards
and specifically for use with our unique Proxy (custom flexible epoxy custom composite construction). The use of the virgin bead epoxy core foam and its part in the entire Proxy system of construction
eliminates the need for a valve or vent.
It is always advised not to keep your board consistently in extremely high temperatures for extended periods of time….and that goes for any kind of construction since it can weaken the resin-to-core-to-skin bond of the board.
A custom Proxy Rascal in your dims is $775.00 and includes fin system. fins, a two color spray and sand finish to 320 satin. It takes approximately 3-4 weeks. Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on a magic Proxy Rascal. Looking forward to your reply,
Aloha,
Todd
P.S. – It might be a good idea to set up a phone or walk-in appointment if you have further questions regarding the uniqueness of the Proxy system…..it is quite different than anything else out there, but also took about ten years for me to dial in this process, so breaking it down and explaining all of its nuances is much easier for me over the phone or in person…..otherwise I end up writing novels and not getting to all the boards I’ve got on my plate.
Hi Todd,
Thank you for your detailed response.
I love a good tech response.
I’ll give a ring to the shop tomorrow and we can go over all the specs and such.
Best wishes,
David
I´ve been testing firewires, Bufo´s, Seaflex (quiver shortboards), surftechs TL2´s and Tuflites, Placebo´s Uber Fish in flexlite, XTR and finally SLX by Webber
Hi Todd,
I´m based in Portugal and wondered if you had any kind of distributor that would stock the Rascal 2 in Europe?
We are not currently working with a distributor in Portugal/ Europe…we have been shipping direct worldwide for over ten years though….so the best way to go about ordering a Rascal is straight from Proctor….straight from us…
I´m really interested in getting a pretty versatile board. As a surf instructor and manager at www.surfexperience.com I really just want to take one board to the beach for general conditions.
The Rascal 2 would fit the bill for the
average day down here in the Algarve, Portugal.
I´m currently riding a Bufo MK 6´2 19 1/4 x 2 1/4 hydroflex board which I´ve quaded up myself. I really love the positive flex characteristics for 2′ plus days, anything smaller and it´s the mini-fish by webber. that ones 5´9, goes like a dream but generally gets over powered in anything with a bit more push. I´m riding it with a trailer fin for extra bite as I´m very heavy on the backfoot.
I´m about to create a standalone review site on boards and the different technologies available. I´ve been testing firewires, Bufo´s, Seaflex (quiver shortboards), surftechs TL2´s and Tuflites, Placebo´s Uber Fish in flexlite, XTR and finally SLX by Webber. It´d be great to do a review on the Technology your working on too. I´ve been following it for a while now but never seen any of your boards this side of the pond.
We are doing something very unique that gives you an excellent flex characteristic combined with the strength of a molded board….but completely custom…..over half of my production is the Proxy construction boards now with word of mouth adding to that percentage overshadowing the amount of poly boards we do.
I´ve been speaking to a guy down here called Uwa who´s been working on Bamboo laminate boards. He speaks very highly of your designs and technology. He told me all about the Lil Rascal.
That’s really cool…thanks.
After checkin it all out I reckon the Lil Rascal 2 would be the one for me due to it having a little more bite.
It has the speed of a retro style fish with the maneuverability, responsiveness and holding capacity of a modern high performance shortboard.
What dimensions would you recommend for the Lil Rascal 2 –
let me know your height and weight and I’ll cross that up with the dimensions/ designs you listed above of your other boards… to get you the exact dims that would be best for you for a Rascal II,
also how much would it be in the Titanium 2 proxy technology?
The Titaniums run $900.00
The final question is how much is it to ship and with import tax too?
I don’t know what your countries import tax is….you might be better off checking that out from your side of things based on the amount of the board.
I´m really keen to get hold of one of these somehow.
If you are interested in ordering a custom Rascal, then let me know your shipping address, and I’ll have my wife Charissa get back to you with a quote for packing/ shipping. We send boards all over Europe, but each destination is different in regards to the shipping rate, so the only way to get you an accurate quote is by having your address.
Thanks and regards
Thanks Jez….
I know you would be stoked on a magic Proctor Rascal II. Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. Looking forward to your reply,

the single to double would probably open up the sweet spot so it drove off both feet more
todd,
hope everything’s going well.
i want to make some changes to the proxy accelerator
you made for me some time ago.
i love the board, but i feel with some tweaks here and there it’ll be just right. the dims on the one i have are 5’11.5 x 11.5 x 18.5 x 14.25 x 2-3/16 with an outline back (slight bump wing squash tail). the overall volume feels right and i would leave the rails and foil exactly the same, but
i feel like i can go a bit shorter and a bit less area
between the feet (i tend to be a little
more front footed than back).
i’m thinking of going with a standard outline (no bump wing in the tail), a little more squared squash tail and one of the following dims: 5’11 x 11.5 x 18-9/16 x 14.25 x 2-3/16 5’10.5 x 11.5 x 18-5/8 x 14.25 x 2-3/16
have you tried using a single to double concave bottom
instead on this board?
just curious how it would perform against the single concave all the way through. peace, mauricio
Hey Mauricio,
Good to hear from you….how was your Memorial Day weekend? Charissa and I got a nice respite.
I like your idea for the tweaks on the Accelerator.
I think the 5’10.5” would be the one, especially since summer is here….the less length the better. I like the idea of no bump with the the more squared up squash too.
I haven’t tried a single to double on this board,
but I’ve thought about it and have actually been
mulling it around in my mind for a few months,
but just haven’t gotten around to it….
so I think we should do that too.
From the sounds of it, this design would fun fast and clean rail to rail arcing/ carving king of small wave surfing…..
the single to double would probably open up the sweet spot
so it drove off both feet more as opposed to
having all the gas pedal just under the back foot….
and the doubles make a board drive real positive on rail engaging the concave on the side of the board that is involved in the turn more than a single will.
Basically I’m down with all your ideas….and have already been wanting to do a board like this….you can be the test pilot.
Let me know any other thought or questions you may have. Looking forward to your reply,
Aloha and peace to you too bro,
Todd
thanks for your feedback!
i feel like the single concave works well for a linear style surfing suited for fast down the line point breaks where you’re trying to always keep up with the speed of the wave.
i wish we had at least an inkling of a point break
in florida, but nada amigo.
unless i’m going to point break surfing heaven soon, the majority of my lifetime will be spent surfing peaky closeout beachbreaks that suits a quicker top to bottom style of surfing where you’re trying to work in as many turns as possible.
maybe this board with double concaves
(deeper than the G4E and SR71)
would still have enough down the line speed
when driven off both feet,
but will help to maintain momentum a little better
through all those turns.
let me know when would be a good time to call and discuss. thanks Todd!

Final Call:
Custom Proxy Epoxy Titanium Series Parabolic Accelerator (modified): 5’10 1/2″ x 18 5/8″ x 2 3/16″ square/squash no hip
My favorite board is that first Proxy Lil' Rascal you made for me in 6'1 x 20 3/4 x 2 9/16
Hi Todd,
A few words to tell you how much I love the boards you made for me.
Time is going and I’m thinking of a new order for the end of summer.
So I would like to get your suggestions for 3 or 4 more new boards:
1- Going to the Mentawais in October so i’m thinking of
SR 71 or Ante up in 6’8 ( 19 3/8? 2 1/2?)
Proxy + carbon hinged flex tail?
Good dimensions….maybe could go 19 ¼” width….I recommend Ante-up…are you wanting to drop the thickness a bit on these boards as to previous one’s? Do you want to drop the rail volume also just a bit. You can get away with lower rail volume for boards for Indo since the waves are so perfect and have good push to them. I recommend round pin.
2- My favorite board is that first Proxy Lil’ Rascal you made for me
in 6’1 x 20 3/4 x 2 9/16.
She’s getting old now and I’m thinking of a new one.
Should i get the same?
That is a good solid board…I would stick with the same dimensions for sure if that one is feeling that good…
Should i try that new Lill Spuddy?Same size?
Yea, I would go with the same dimensions with the round tail/ Lil’ Spuddy model.
What is the difference between them or with the Greased Rascal?
The Greased Rascal you ride a bit longer and narrower than the original Rascals, and it has the bottom and rocker of the Greased Pig, so it is a little bit more favored to small waves with shape and will surf in bigger waves also and still ride clean. It is a great board too, but similar to the Greased Pig….so I would go with your original Rascal dimensions in round tail Lil’ Spuddy model.
3-Looking for an all around Proxy Titanium series
in 6’4 (19 1/2? 2 1/2?).
G4E? Blackbird? Accelerator? Something else?
I would go with the G-4….I have a really good design file in 6’4”. This one also has the thinner volume I noticed….do you feel like you can go a bit thinner on your boards for good waves? As you progress, typically you can start riding boards that have less volume; you just don’t want to sacrifice too much paddling, but I think you could go thinner on this batch of boards especially since they are for Indo style waves.
The Blackbird is a good one too, but it favors being ridden off the back foot. The tail and fins like to release in the lip on this board, so if that is what sounds good to you then this would be a good one to run with.
The Accelerator is a bit more of a Grovel style smaller wave board and for marginal conditions ( I have been riding mine a lot lately actually), so I don’t know that it is going to be a board that is your best bet for Indo….maybe for another order or for waves at home.
Dimensions for each of these I think you could go: 6’4” x 19 ¼” x 2 ½” rounded squash for the G-4 or Blackbird, and squash, round tail or swallowtail for the Accelerator.
4-I’m surfing 50% of the time my new Greased Pig with carbon rails.
So i’m thinking of an other one 6’4? 19 5/8? 2 9/16?
Good dimensions….can’t go wrong with the parabolics and the channels work insane of this board….been making quite a few of them lately…
Proxy,Parabolic stringer + 6 channels?
Please let me know what you think about this.I’m in total confidence with your suggestions.
Let me know your current weight because I think we can drop the volume of your boards just a bit….keeping the paddle, but gaining a bit more responsiveness and performance by making the overall volume and rail volume just a bit more sensitive…..let me know what you think of this too…? I also have a new construction method where the boards are super light….they are not quite as strong as with the 6oz. like we have been doing, but they are still amazingly strong, but very very light….so if you are interested in going a little bit lighter weight I am now offering a construction series for this also. If you are happy with the strength, weight, and performance on your boards now, then I would just stick with what has been working….maybe just try one of two of the new smaller boards with the super lightweight glassing constructiong….
Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on some magic Indo carpets.
Looking forward to your reply,
Todd

Vincent
Hi Todd,
nice to get your suggestions.
My current weight is 150lbs and i’m 45 years old.
I think i can go a bit thinner on my boards so i will follow you to drop the volume a bit but without missing the paddle too much.
Yes, I think we can go thinner without sacrificing paddle, but gaining performance.
My order would be:
1 Ante up 6’8/ 19 1/4 / 2 1/2
with lower rail volume,rounded pin
Proxy,carbon hinged flex tail …
do you want the futures or f.c.s. fin system for this board, and what color for the spray fade (two-tone light grey looks good or two tone light blue fade with the carbon hinge.
2 Lil’ Spuddy proxy. Stringerless with carbon rails?
I’m ready to try it smaller and thinner (6’0? 20 1/2 ?) if you want.
New dimensions sound good….do you want to go with tri fin or five fin setup? What color for the fade, and what fin system?
3 G 4E 6’4 x 19 1/4 x 2 1/2 rounded squash.
Proxy,construction?(Titanium upgrade?Parabolic?New super light glassing construction?)
I think super light glass with titanium parabolic would be sick for this one…..and in the two-tone light gray fade for the color with futures or f.c.s.?
4 Greased pig 6’4 /19 5/8/ 2 9 /16
Proxy,parabolic stringer,6 channels
super light glasing construction;
super light glassing is good with channels and parabolics….nice….two tone light blue would look nice to easily differentiate between the other greased pig. Do you want f.c.s. or futures…..tri fin or five fin?
Does it sounds good to you?
When do yo think i should order the boards to be sure to get them in september?July?
It is getting very busy right now, so I think probably the sooner the better….at the very latest by July, better by end of May or June for me personally…..so I can take the time to do exceptional job…..I’m very excited about these new dimensions for you…..I think these boards are going to be your biggest progression in your surfing.
Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have.
Looking forward to your reply,
aloha, Todd
Best,
Vincent
Hi Todd
I will put my order by the end of may.
For each board I’m ready to drop the volume a bit to
gain peformance without sacrificing paddle.
I would like 4 new boards from you:
1- Ante Up 6’8 x 19 1/4 x 2 1/2 rounded pin Proxy,carbon hinged flex tail
Futures fins ,full camo green with no fade.
I will bring it with me to the Mentawais at the end of the year.
2- Lil’ Spuddy 6’1 x 20 1/2 x 2 9/16 stringerless with carbon rails,
fin setup,Futures fins,camo green spray.
3-Greased pig 6’4 x 19 5/8 x 2 9/16 Proxy,parabolic stringer,
6 channels,super light glassing
Full camo green,no fade.3 fin setup.
Futures fins if possible with the channels,if not FCS.
4-For the last board i think i will take another four leaf clover
because i love soo much this board.
What would you say of:
4 leaf clover 6’4 / 19 3/4 / 2 9/16 diamond tail super light glass with titanium parabolic in the two tone light gray fade
Future fins with AM2?
Please give me your advice for this final order.Do you think i should change anything?
If it’s OK for you could Charissa send me an advice around the end of May for Paypal payment?
Best,
Vincent

i`m from uk so if you can ofer some good board i will by it.
i was thinking about tokoro resin8 6’0 1/2″ 18 3/8″ by 2 1/4″ Round Pin. let me know what you think. thank you for your time.
Hi Donis,
The most versatile performance shortboard I make is the G-4.e.
This board generates incredible speed
in small waves, yet holds in and surfs fast
and responsive in the pocket on the
more powerful and hollower days up to overhead.
The ideal dimensions for you would be 6’0” x 18 3/8” x 2 ¼” rounded squashtail or thumbtail.
I do several different constructions types, but I think you would be
most stoked on the Proxy custom
flexible epoxy
technology…..this has the same flex pattern and
feeling under your feet as an ultralight poly board,
but with three to five times the strength of a
standard poly board.
It differs from the Resin 8 boards in that the Proxy still runs very clean even in bumpy or textured conditions where the Resin 8 boards tend to like the perfectly glassy days, but become very popcorny/ on top of the water bouncy feeling and temperamental in any bit of textured conditions or offshore winds….they also tend to suck in water when dinged which the Proxy does not have that extreme water absorption issue like the Resin 8.
Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on a magic Proctor G-4.e Proxy. Looking forward to your reply,

ive yet to try other boards besides my standard poly boards and an aviso so im curious about the parabolics.I hear good things. How sharp can i get the rails on a parabolic carbon? and can there be a custom tail or does it have to be a standard? How much stiffer are they? look foward for a response. Thank You Travis
Hi Travis,
Nice to meet you…
the parabolic boards are actually flexier
than a standard center stringer board….
very lively in the small stuff since you can actually load them up in turns and have them release out of turns with incredible speed.
I recommend 5’8” x 18 7/8” x 2 5/16” dimensions
for a Four Leaf for performance in the
smaller, mushier waves…
this board is still very versatile though and will fun clean and responsive in up to even slightly overhead. The tail shape is custom i.e. wide hipsquash, swallowtail, battail, moontail, etc….
The rails through the tail are very hard and sharp whether the board has carbon rails or not….
the way we make them here does not
inhibit the sharpness of the edges
if it is carbon railed.
I make the parabolic rails in polyester or our unique Proxy custom flexible epoxy construction. The Proxy is the premium board I make since it has the flex characteristics of an ultralite poly board, but with 3-5 times the strength/ lifespan of a standard poly board.
Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on a magic Proctor Four Leaf.

looking for a good short board that can handle small, weak waves.
Hi there,
I happened to stumble across your site when looking for a
good short board that can handle small, weak waves.
It looks like the Accelerator is exactly
what I’m looking for,
and I would love to get my hands on a stringerless with a carbon rail.
I’m writing from Prince Edward Island, Canada,
and this seems like the perfect board
for these conditions.
Do you have any resellers that would be a little closer to my location? If not, would it be possible to arrange for shipment? What is the approximate cost of the board?
If this board suits our surf conditions, I could sell at least twenty of these boards for you.
Hoping you can help me out. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care,
Brody
Hi Brody,
Nice to meet you….the Accelerator is a great board;
it’s actually my current favorite and
works in just about everything from
two foot mushy to overhead a square.
We’ve been doing a lot of the stringerless
carbon rail boards lately and people are
really stoked on the springloaded feel
they have under your feet….
super strong and durable too…..three to five times stronger than a standard poly board.
I deal primarly custom direct worldwide;
working directly with surfers to get them the board that is best for their height, weight, experience, the type of waves they surf and the direction they want to take their surfing….for over eighteen years I’ve found that you can only dial in a magic board for somebody with this direct surfer-to-shaper interaction…..so, the best thing would be to order custom direct and we can ship the board(s) to you. We have over fifteen years experience shipping custom boards worldwide and have shipped to many places in Canada so that would be no worries.
The standard Proxy (custom flexible epoxy) construction runs $735.00 and includes a two color fade spray, fin system and fins. The stringerless carbon rail upgrade is an additional $100.00. Keep in mind this is a high grade custom composite surfboard made with the best materials possible for both performance and strength.
There are group discounts available and orders of ten boards or more qualify for our wholesale pricing which is $100.00 off standard retail price.
The magic dimensions for you for theAccelerator
would be 6’0” – 6’1” x 18 5/8” – 18 ¾” x 2 ¼”
with either a rounded squashtail, thumbtail,
or swallowtail.
Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have.

The direction you want to go with your surfing:
I only get out 20 times a year,, so I want to catch every wave. I ned something that is willing to hit the lip but also paddle my weight around like a speed boat.
What boards are you currently riding?
Rusty Pirahana 6’0″ 20.5 2.18 thick Surftech. (Just does not float me) Hank Warner thruster 6’6″ 20.5 wide 2.65 thick Board does not hold thickness throughout, tail it thin, nose is narrow. I was just about to order a firewire Dominator 6’4″ 21 wide and 2 5/8″. Then I can across your company in a review search. What would you recommend. Although I no longer get out as much as I did in my youth, I really like to make the most of my sessions regardless of the conditions I am faced with. I use a vasa trainer to maintain some sort of surf conditioning, I just need a board that can help fill in the gaps and float my fat ass.
Goal for consultation:
I would like to detail/order my custom surfboard with Todd
Hi Jeff,
Sorry to not get back to you sooner…just been really busy here….
Anyway, nice to meet you and I hope you had a great Easter weekend.
Regarding the magic board for you….
there are three board models that I make
that I’ve narrowed it down to for you -
The Lil Rascal,
………… the Greased Pig,
or the Big Chief (fuller volume G-4.e).
Since there is a pretty wide range of conditions you described…
you will need a board that is going to be
versatile from small and mushy to overhead
depending on your home conditions or travel spots.
The most versatile high performance shortboard
I make is the G-4.e.
This board generates it’s own speed in small waves, yet holds in and surfs fast and tight in the pocket in the punchier stuff.
The Big Chief is a fuller volume version of the G-4.e
and will tend to favor the waist high and over, up to a couple feet overhead….it is a versatile performance shortboard. Critical for you with this board is going to be the proper volume so you get the paddle necessary since you are not able to get out there everyday….I would go 6’3” x 20 3/8” x 2 5/8” with a swallowtail for this one.
The other way you could go is a board called
the Greased Pig….this board is basically a
high performance fish/ shortboard crossbreed…
flatter rocker keeps it running fast through the flats, but it is not so flat that it can’t handle up to head high waves great too. It has more of a full outlined shortboard nose with a single wing swallowtail to keep it crisp and responsive in maneuvers. This board would work great at your home breaks as well as travel destinations up to head high and even a little over….
this board is a small wave ripping speed machine
with great paddleability.
I recommend going 6’2” x 20 5/8” x 2 5/8” with a slightly fuller rail and flatter deck than that of the Big Chief.
The last board I had in mind is called
the Lil Rascal and is the fastest
small wave performance board I make.
It can also be ridden in waves up to head high, but favors the smaller and mushier stuff. It paddles insane and never has trouble generating speed….
basically has the speed of a retro style fish with the maneuverability of a performance shortboard.
Dimensions for you would be 6’0”- 6’1” x 21” x 2 5/8” with a pretty flat deck and even a bit fuller rails than the Greased Pig.
In order for me to figure out what is going to be the ideal model for you to go with,
It makes it much easier for me to
speak with you directly,
but feel free to check out each of these board models I described above by going to
www.proctorsurf.com
and checking out the descriptions and you can watch movies about the different boards too….hopefully this will help give you an idea as to which one strikes you as the direction you want to go with your surfing….from there I can further detail the fine tune aspects of your board.
Looking forward to your reply,
Aloha,
Todd
