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,

Aloha,
Todd

Hey Todd,

First I’d like to say that i’m as stoked as ever on the proxy g4e,

i rode it last saturday in head high and clean conditions, and the sandbars were perfect so it was great.

Thing is it’s amazing in about chest up and bigger,

especially head high to just overhead range,

but i guess the dims are more suited for better surf and it bogs and sinks in the real crappy stuff. Since summer’s coming up i was thinking about a nice groveler (maybe a quad).

……I really love the custom epoxy…..

(the board is like indestructible,

i went over the falls once on a really big day last fall

and nailed the deck with my knee and there was no mark),

but i don’t think i can afford the 735 or whatever plus shipping. i was wondering if i could get a first generation proxy board for a cheaper price. just curious and thanks for your time.

Robert

Hi Robert,

Sweet….great to hear from you….we’ve had some good sandbars around here too!!
Unfortunately, we don’t do the first generation flexible epoxy anymore, but it would run the same price anyway….

The Proxy uses the best combination of materials

you can put into a surfboard;

and since they are high grade, they cost me a lot,

or I would charge less for the boards…..

I actually make almost the same on a Proxy board as I do on a polyester board, but I find that when you get a good board and it last three to five times longer than the typical poly board, that there is value in that…..and that you actually save money by not having to purchase three times as many boards. …just a thought…

I do off a super high quality poly board that you might be interested in. The starting price is $585.00 which includes fin system and fins. The neat part is the resin and glass upgrades you can get…..

Y2Kuv resin is the strongest polyester resin made;

hardly anyone uses this resin because since it is higher grade is costs more, but it is amazingly strong for poly resin and will yield you a board stronger than any other poly board out there…. it is $20.00 for the y2kuv upgrade. The other upgrade is called direct or “D”- size glass – this is a high grade fiberglass that does not weigh anything more, but is significantly stronger than the standard “E” glass used predominantly in the surfboard industry…..again, very few companies use this glass because it costs more. The upgrade to this cloth is also $20.00. So, in a nutshell a couple low cost upgrades will get you a poly stronger than any other poly board out there; not as strong as the Proxy, but as good as you can get if you want to get the price down.
Hope that helps. Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have.
Aloha,

Todd

all about todd proctor’s custom proxy epoxy surfboard technology

Hey Todd,

Thinking about what you said is actually so true. Before I got your board last summer I was riding a CI Flyer II (poly), and it was coming up on around 3 years, and to tell the truth it was in crappy condition. Just everyday use beat it up pretty bad, pressure dings all over the place, some taking water, patchy ding repair jobs, you know how it is.

I mean it felt terrible to ride even after just like half a year.

Your Proxy board, though, is coming up on a year

at the beginning of the summer, and it still feels great,

not even one pressure ding, and like I said it rides great.

I definitely dig the poly upgrades and I might go for that, but I’m close to the amount I need for the Proxy (w/ shipping its like just under $850 right?). Normally I’d definitely go for the poly upgrades but after riding the Proxy for about a year I love it, rides great and tough as nails. I’ll see if I can get the extra dough soon enough though. Then there’s the task of convincing my folks to shell out for another board, but if I have the money it shouldn’t be too tough. Thanks agian for your time and help.

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!

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

Best,
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 forward to your reply,

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.

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

http://www.proctorsurf.com/Surf-Boards/?page_id=238

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..

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
