Anything else you want Todd to know

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,

Aloha,

Todd

Anything else you want Todd to know

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.

Looking forward to your reply,

Heavy front footed surfer, live in San Diego and surf all up and down the SOCAL coast

Todd,

I like your ideas in board construction

and I’m in the market for a new shortboard.

My info is below.  Which board would be best for me and if you think I should order a custom board, what is your opinion on the shape I would need?  Thanks in advance for your reply.

6’2
185 lbs

Heavy front footed surfer

I live in San Diego and surf all up and down the SOCAL coast.   I have been surfing for 10+ years, but am still struggling to progress.

I can do a few good turns on a wave,

but am not killing it and often catch rails.

This will be my primary shortboard and will replace a 6’3 Sharpeye (19″ wide) which rode ok, but I don’t think it fit my front footed style.

Any ideas???

God bless,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

Sorry to take so long to get back to you…been very busy here…Anyway, I read through all of your info you sent through and I know the magic board for you….
First off,

the board you have now sounds like it is too small and has a rocker/ bottom curve and bottom contours that don’t suit your style i.e. front-footed.

There are a lot of front-footed surfers just like you and that is why

I designed a board that specifically caters to driving more off the front foot.

This board is called the G-4.E

and it is actually my most versatile

high performance shortboard design….

perfect too for the variety of waves we get in Cali.

The G-4 has

• a moderate entry rocker to get you into waves easily,

• a flatter fun through the middle/ under your front foot for bursts of speed down the line

• and positive carry through flat spots (non-rail digger),

• and a fair amount of tail rocker to keep it crisp and loose in turns and free in the pocket.

The single-to-double concave bottom is also a major important factor for you since this particular hull contour drives really well off the front foot.

I think you ought to be going 6’4″ – 6’5″ x 19 1/8″ x 2 1/2″ and

I think you might like a swallowtail….

helps keep the tail looser and works well

for more front-footed surfers.

I make this board in the traditional polyester construction as well as our unique Proxy/ custom flexible epoxy construction. The standard polyester is $585.00 and includes fin system and fins, while the Proxy is $735.00 and includes fin system and fins….both construction methods are made with the best materials for their perspective categories as well as using the highest craftsmanship, however, Proxy is the premium board I make for both strength and performance.
Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on a magic G-4.E. Looking forward to your reply,
Aloha,

Todd

Todd,

Thanks for the reply and no worries about the short delay.  I’m definitely interested in the G-4.E.  I’ll take your advice and move up to a 6’4 with the dimensions of your choosing for my height/weight/style info.  I’ve never had a swallow tail, but am willing to try it out.

This will be the shortboard I travel with

so I want it to be as strong as possible.

Therefore, I’ll go with the Proxy.

Do you recommend any of the other proxy options?  Are their any other choices I need to make before placing my order?  Thanks Todd!

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

Ok sounds good…I think we’ve covered all the design/ shape info pretty good…so as far as upgrades to the Proxy goes…
The standard Proxy construction is really strong as is…

there are a few upgrades you can get such as

Kevlar compression patch for an additional $85.00 -

I would recommend this if you have issues crushing in the decks of your boards really bad;

it this isn’t really a problem, then the added strength of the standard Proxy is going to work great for you.

Another option is the carbon hinge flextail f

or an additional $85.00 -

this works pretty sick since it allows me to thin the tail area out a bit giving the board a real whippy tail through turns; kind of a slingshot effect;

the carbon keeps the tail from fatiguing in that area as

well as reinforcing the toe and heal areas of the tail

from crushing in over time (good also if you have

issues with crushing in the rails in your tails).

There are also parabolic stringers which are an additional $100.00 if you want a real springy flex out of the board.
Personally, I would just go with the standard Proxy with maybe the carbon hinge in the tail…that gives you a high performance board with great strength.

The only other thing would be the color for the board.

The Proxy comes included with the price of the board a two color spray…

since you’ll be having this board around longer than a typical construction board, it keeps them from looking dingy over time….alleviates the yellowing look. Check out this link to see the various options for color that come with the board

Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have.  Once you decide on those last few things, my wife Charissa will send you the breakdown and invoice to your e-mail. You can do an e-sign with credit card or debit card for the down payment…final payment due when the board is done. Or ir you prefer to call in to the factory showroom to dial things in you can call me here at (805) 658-7659.

Looking forward to making a magic Proxy G-4.E for you,
Speak soon,

Todd

Todd,

Cool.  I will order the 6’4 with specs you’ve mentioned below.

I’ll add the carbon, but not the kevlar.

For the color I’ll go with the standard fade design with the “SKY” color.  Looking forward to it.

One of my best friends should be contacting you about a board soon, if he hasn’t already.   He just got back from another deployment in Iraq and will be giving you a call.  His name is Greg Pruett….another brother in Christ.  We went to college together and are now in the Navy.  Keep an eye out for him.

God bless,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

Great…then we’ve got it dialed. Charissa will be sending over the breakdown for you. She will walk you through that part of things….it’s very simple. Do you have a preference regarding the logo placement?

I was thinking black logo up in the nose,

or running diagonal from the stringer over/

down to the rail…

lemme know…
I’ll make you a great board. Please let me know if you have any other questions along the way. We will call you and/ or e-mail you when the board is done.
Thanks brother and God bless you too

Todd

P.S. – I’ll keep an eye/ ear out for your buddy Greg..

What's the differences between the Falcon and the Greased Pig

Hey Todd,

What’s the differences between the

Falcon and the Greased Pig

as far as the way they ride and what kind of waves they’re good for?
Thanks,
Kent

Hello, sorry to not get back with you sooner….

have been very busy here. Anyway,

the Falcon is a version of my

Rascal II model with a more pointy nose.

The Falcon is exceptional in very small scale, weak waves….

very fast like a fish, but with the responsiveness of a modern board for modern performance maneuvers.

The rocker is very flat on the Falcon.

The Greased Pig also excels in small wave performance surfing.

It is a bit more versatile than the Falcon and will surf clean in up to head high waves as well as small little crumblers.

The Falcon is really a specialized design for the real small-scale crumblers…..and is best suited for making the weakest stuff a speed course and demolition of any thing even close to resembling a lip in the dismal conditions.

Hope that answers your questions. Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on a magic Proctor Falcon or Greased Pig.

If you let me know your height, weight, experience/ how long you’ve been surfing, the type of waves you need the board for, and the dimensions/ basic design of your current board; I will detail the best design and dimensions for you.

Aloha,

Todd

Hey Todd,

Thanks for the information, I think the Greased Pig is what I’m looking for. I’m currently riding a 5’4″ x 19.25″ x 2.1875″ Proxy Rascal and a 5’10″x 18.75 x 2.25″ Al Merrick KSmall. I love the paddle, speed/flow and responsiveness of the Rascal and the KSmall works better with waves that have some shape.

I’m looking for an everyday board

to surf Huntington Beach,

something that rides more like a performance board but has more speed for the average HB days.
Like everybody I’m looking for the balance of speed and maneuverability, I’ve ridden small wave boards that are fast but don’t seem to redirect, turn sharply or fit a wave with some curve (flat tail rocker?, wide nose?, wide tail?) and other grovelers that have a lot of tail rocker and turn great but loses that drive.

So I’m thinking with the stinger along with the vee in the tail will keep it loose/responsive

and the low rocker will keep it fast. So if you think the Greased Pig is the right board for me what dimensions would you suggest? I’m 5’2″, 145 lbs., 25 yrs. experience.
Thanks,
Kent

Hi Kent,

The Greased Pig is the perfect board for you.

I would go 5’7″ -5’8″ x 18 3/4″ x 2 1/4″ single wing swallowtail. The overall rocker is a performance rocker just flattened throughout with lower entry and spiral vee running off the tail.

That gets it into waves quick,

down the line speed bursts,

yet keeps the tail nice and free

with that spiral vee.

So you get a board that basically has the responsiveness of a performance board, yet maintains the essential speed for small wave ripping. It is versatile enough to speed course knee high mushy Huntington as well as shoulder to head high punchy Huntington.
Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on a Greased Pig. Looking forward to your reply, Aloha,

Todd

My dream is to find something in between that is shaped for high performance rail to rail surfing and that can hold my 6'1", 245 lbs frame

What’s the biggest you can you with the Chief – 8′-8’6″.

Regardless, I am just glad to finally have found someone that can

relate to us the 80′s surfers that have

grown in size…just a bit

Ro

Hola Ro,

Yes, you can order the Big Chief in the

8’0″ – 8’6″ range.

If you let me know your height, weight, surfing experience and the type of waves you surf, i will detail the perfecto tabla para tu.

Todd

Todd,

I am an 1980′s- 90′s, surfer and

became addicted at the age of 11 (i am now 41+).

I swore that the day i had to ride a long board I would quit..well guess what?

About the only thing that floats and works for me is a 9’2″-9’6″ High performance 2+1 fin system Longboard. x 17 1/2″ x 22″ x 14″ x 2 3/4″-3″, with good rocker in the nose and tail, double into singleconcave, reverse V from the tail to the fins, round pin tail and SUPER boxy and sharp rails..specifically on the tail.

All that topped with a sanded finish painted white with white fins. Believe it or not, I ride the thing like if it was a 5’8″-6’0″ back in the days, rail to rail, hitting te lip and floaters ( i have problems with round houses wit the longboard), and I NEVER go near the nose.

My dream is to find something in between

that is shaped for high performance

rail to rail surfing and that can hold

my 6’1″, 245lbs frame

(well proportioned..i work out).

I can surf and don’t need some out the

rack fun or longboard. you feel me?

I have seen other shapers making some type of HP funboards and wonder is that is what I need. I don’t want a short board in a longboard body.

What can you do for me brother without having to go thicker than 3″ and wider than 20-21 with a round pin ., EXTRA BOXY and sharp rails, the concaves and V on a tri set up.

Cuanto dinero and would you ship and or can pick up around here somewhere locally in Northern FL.

Thanks,
Ro

BTW.. Your funboards look like hey are shaped for performance and from what I can see. they have all the goodies? Would it be a better fit for me than the Chief?

Ro

Ro,

I just read the last part of your e-mail again regarding the pricing for a board like this.
A 7’8” x 21” x 3” Big Chief or Funshape is $625.00 for poly construction (standard foam and fiberglass), or $750.00 for our unique “Proxy” custom flexible epoxy construction….this is the premium board I make i.e. stronger, lighter, slightly more buoyant. Both prices include fin system and fins. We can ship your board directly to you in Florida. We have much experience with shipping custom boards worldwide for over 10 years with great results. Packing and shipping to your door would be approximately $125.00 including insurance.

Looking forward to your reply and to the possibility of making you the magic board for your build and surfing experience….for you to rip on.

Just for your information, payment of 50% of the total price gets the board started. It takes approximately 2-3 weeks to complete the board at which time the final payment is due prior to shipment.

Since the sale is out of state….you don’t have to pay any tax….so that is a nice thing that saves you some money too.

Aloha,

Todd

The Rascal II is a very easy board to ride and is not too advanced for you.

Hi Proctor Team,

I got around a year ago into surfing (I am 33 years old) and loving it. I started out with a 8.0 Softtop and have now a 6.10 Rusty Piranha quad fin made out of Suftech’s Tuflite (22×2.75). I surf mainly Sands in Goleta, a beach break.

My question for you is: I am still not that great and don’t get all the waves I would like to. I certainly don’t rip, but working on going down the line. Surfing the beachbreak here with usually knee to waist high conditions makes me feel, however, my board is a bit to big. I am fairly light (157 lb) and athletic.

It seams I have problems pushing the

tail down into the wave,

however, which I guess is an advantage if I take off further out, but since the waves are fairly small but fast and steep when they break,

I have problems taking off in the pocket.

and if I do a pearl a lot.

Long story short, what board does Proctor

have that would work for a SB beachbreaks,

for a, advanced beginner, that still paddles easily (volume), but is a bit easier to get into the steep section of the wave. I like the way the Rascal II looks, but I am not sure if this is too advanced for me. Also, I like how resistant my epoxy board it.

Thank you so much

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Nice to meet you. Well, you are on a right track by noticing that the length of your current board and the flatness of the rocker/ bottom is making it difficult for you to catch and drop into the type of waves you most commonly surf.

The Rascal II is a very easy board to ride

and is not too advanced for you.

Also, you’ve done your homework well because that is just the board I would recommend for you at this stage with your surfing. The ideal dimensions for you would be 6’4” x 21” x 2 ¾”. You will notice the length and width of the board is less than your current board.

The shorter length will help you with the

shorter, steeper take-offs,

while the narrower width will allow you to angle your board easier into bowlier take-offs by enabling your board to lay over on its rail quicker as your angling in. The volume is the same as your current board and that is to keep it nice and quick paddling….this will get you in earlier so you don’t have to take off late.

I make boards out of polyester (traditional foam and fiberglass) construction, as well as our unique “Proxy” custom epoxy construction. The Proxy construction is very strong and holds up to a beating much better than the polyester boards do….they also ride unreal and are slightly more buoyant than the polyesters.

Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on a magic Proctor Rascal II.

Looking forward to your reply,

Aloha,

Todd

Month of the Shaper: Todd Proctor

Editor’s Note: In conjunction with our annual Surfboards Issue (On newsstands Nov. 18), we will be posting one interview per day with a craftsman who contributed to the issue. Some are the biggest names in the bay; others are underground and want to keep it that way. But all of them share an equal passion for the crafts that move us forward. In these tough economic times, they all have a lot to say on where their craft is going. This time: Ventura’s Todd Proctor.

Name: Todd Proctor
Zone: Handmade in Ventura, CA – worldwide custom
Years Shaping: 17
Boards Per Week: 15-35
Specialty: Custom – anything and everything

IS YOUR BUSINESS BETTER OR WORSE SINCE THE CLARK FOAM SHUTDOWN?

Better

DO YOU FEEL POLYURETHANE FOAM/POLYESTER RESIN WILL ALWAYS BE THE DOMINANT SURFBOARD CONSTRUCTION?

There are a lot of possibilities out there for materials with increased durability and performance, and which are far more environmentally friendly. I make it a priority to constantly be trying, experimenting and innovating with different materials.

DO YOU THINK THERE’S AN INCREASING OR DECREASING APPRECIATION FOR A CUSTOM SURFBOARD?

There’s an increasing demand for quality, custom boards that take each individual surfer to the places they dream of going on a wave. I think there will always be a demand for something unique and special like that.

ARE QUADS DECLINING OR INCREASING IN POPULARITY?

They’ve got there niche….and they do what they do well.

WHAT’S KEEPING YOU AFLOAT? CUSTOM CLIENTELE? SHOP ACCOUNTS? SURFTECH?

Attention to the individual surfer.

IF IT HASN’T ALREADY, WILL YOUR SURFBOARD PRODUCTION EVER HAVE TO GO OVERSEAS?

By the goodness and grace of God, I plan to continue to see my business grow right here in Ventura. Personally, I love shaping boards and I enjoy hard work. This is what I was created to do. I like the fact that something quality is made right here in this country, and that I am able to provide jobs right here to a crew that has the same level of care and desire to put out the best boards we are capable of.

WHAT KIND OF MUSIC DO YOU LIKE TO LISTEN TO WHEN YOU SHAPE?

Usually I’ll listen to preachers all day on the radio, but sometimes I’ll move the dial around to classic rock, news, classical music, oldies…I like a lot of different sounds….my current favorite right now though is a new album by Dominic Balli called Public Announcement….that one makes my soul soar!

HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU SPEND ON A SINGLE BOARD NOW?

Sometimes 30 minutes; sometimes two hours….whatever it takes for it to be right.

DO YOU SPEND MORE TIME ON THE COMPUTER SCREEN OR IN THE SHAPING BAY?

About 60% of the time shaping and 40% designing. I really enjoy designing boards, so sometimes I think I spend a little too much time doing that….but I really like the hands on of fine-tuning the boards too.

HOW IMPORTANT IS TEAMRIDER FEEDBACK TO YOU?

It’s really important….but I think of my team as everyone that I shape boards for; be it a ‘CT guy, a mom, a local ripper, a granddad longboarder. There are so many different surfers, each one needing different boards to cater to their unique style and the types of waves they ride….so I make it a point to listen to everybody and pay close attention to each persons requests and feedback. I find it makes for a solid surfer/ shaper relationship that way, too.

WHAT KIND OF BOARD DO YOU ENJOY SHAPING MOST RIGHT NOW?

I love them all. Rght now, I guess I would have to say the last board I just got done shaping.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU GET TO SURF?

When the waves are good….but sometimes when they are bad too. As much as I can.

ARE YOU ACTIVELY PURSUING “GREENER” AVENUES IN YOUR SURFBOARD PRODUCTION?

Yes….for over a decade now. Check out our website at proctorsurf.com. There is all kinds of stuff you can get stoked about there….more than I could summarize real quick for you in one sentence here.

Hi,

I was watching/admiring the clips you have of Larry Ugale. Do you know the dimensions of the board he used and his fin set-up? Also, was it a poly board?

(Mind you, I’ll never surf the way he did, even in my wildest dreams.)

Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,

The board is 9’0″ x 22″ x 2 9/16″

Performance model

with fin set-up at 5 1/2″ back fin with side fins at 15 1/2″.

Bonzer back fin with two normal sized thruster sides. Fin placement and configuration on this particular model is largely dependent on it’s unique tail rocker and extreme spiral vee/ chimed rails bottom configuration.

It is a Proxy custom flexible epoxy constructionmade here at our Ventura factory.

Do you need a new Performance Longboard? If you let me know your height, weight, the type of waves you surf, and experience….I will detail the magic design and dimensions longboard for you.
Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on a magic Proctor.
Looking forward to your reply,

Todd

Hi Todd,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I’m looking at performance longboards, so I’m very interested in what you have.
I’m 50, 5’8″, 145 pounds.

I’ve been surfing my entire life but only recentlymoved to longboards

(after surgery on both shoulders).

I surf almost entirely on the East Coast — everything from mushy summer waves to hollow post-hurricane swells.

Basically, I’m looking for an epoxy longboard

that I can noseride but turns well

– I’m thinking big nose with a lot of concave (and entry rocker for hollow days) and a pulled in, rounded pintail. What are your thoughts on rails? I’ve ridden Waldens and McTavishs and the bevels seem to work well when it’s more hollow — didn’t catch the rail.

I like plain white boards, just your logo.
Also (I’m anticipating this question from my wife, whom I want to stay married to) how much would it cost, including shipping to Maryland?
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,

The magic board for you would be:

9’0″ x 22 1/4″ x 2 9/16″ Performance Noserider

with a round pin.

This board noserides and holds trim like a dream, yet turns off the tail on a dime….this board model truly matches exactly with what you are looking for. The rails are chimed or beveled from the nose through to the fin cluster where they fade out into a hard edge boxy rail. My bevels are a little more subtle than what those shapers do, but I feel this makes them more versatile for a wider variety of conditions, but always keeping that nice no-catch/ no-dig feel to them. We can do plain white in the Proxy….and I actually have a unique new epoxy that has a uv stabilizer which helps it to not turn yellow as quickly as most other epoxies do; as well there is an optical brightner in the resin which makes the board brighter white than other clear epoxy boards. A Proxy custom Performance Noserider in those dimensions is $965.00 and shipping is going to run approximately $100.00 to your door and includes insurance.

Keep in mind this is a custom composite

surfboard made out of the highest grade materials

and is my premium board for

both strength and performance.

In the long run, this board will last you as long as two or three polyester boards….so in the end you actually do save money by purchasing something with higher quality….plus it will work better than anything you’ve ever ridden (had to through that in). Oh, and one other thing. To place an order you only need to put down half. You pay the remaining balance when the board is done and just prior to shipment.
Well, please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on a magic custom Proctor Proxy Performance Noserider. Looking forward to your reply, Aloha,

Todd
