The Proxy Flexible Epoxy is our unique upgraded custom board

Big Chief design has more volume than the other shortboards in the line.

Hi,

my name is Thomas from Norway.

I found your site browsing the internet searching for the “perfect board”!

The local surfspot is coldwater (winter ca.4-6 C) and often mushy condition, ca 3-12 feet.
my height is 174cm and weight ca. 85kg (about 187 lbs).
I bought myself a Southpoint Bomber 6′ 6″ epoxy. That catches small waves early, but its not so manouverable in the take-offs in bigger conditions its like riding a plank!
I got also a HB 6,4″ that i bought in New Zealand. But this is yet a to experienced board for me!

I also found a size and weight table on the web and for my size i’ll need a board between 6′ 8″ – 7′ 2″

And therefore I saw your Big Chief 6′ 10″, but more interesting The Module (length ??)

with art like your pics (what a nice piece of work). And after reading the comment of Alex, it seems like a board for me!?
Or do you have a better board to offer an old intermediate surfer (stand up and slow turns)?
What does “PROXY” – Titanium Series Upgrade Options means?
What will it cost included boardbag and shipping to norway?

Mvh/Best regards

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Sorry not to get back to you sooner….things have been very busy here. I read through your online consultation request and your e-mail below and I know the “perfect board” for you.

You are on the right track with the Big Chief design since it has more volume than the other shortboards in the line.

This will give you more paddling and early entry into waves as well as increased stability for where you are currently at with our surfing experience. Best dimensions would be: 6’8” x 19 ¾” x 2 5/8” with a squashtail, or 6’6” x 20” x 2 5/8” Module with a double wing swallowtail.

The module design favors small waves, but will also work in waves with more power,

while the Big Chief is a great all around performance shortboard that also works in small and large waves. Both boards generate their own speed in small waves and hold in and are very stable in powerful waves. I recommend the standard Proxy construction since it is very light, very strong and slightly more buoyant – It is $735.00 and includes fin system, a set of fins and a two color fade airbrush. The “titanium” upgrades add more strength to the board and increased performance – if you like the upgrades they are $75.00 each. You can check out the “New Technology” part of the website for more information regarding the titanium series upgrades. The standard Proxy construction on its own is very strong.
We also make polyester construction boards (the traditional foam and fiberglass construction) – these boards start a $585.00 and include fin system and one set of fins.

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

Todd

Hi Thomas,

I answered your questions below in blue…

Hi Todd,

and thanx for the answer
Have a couple of other questions regarding “my perfect board”:
1. How about the fin system….is it better to have a quad setup than a thruster? There are positives about both fin configurations. The quad set-up has gained a lot of exposure lately since it is a very fast design….speed is always good. I find that the quad set-up has its best colors brought to full light in mushy, sectiony long point type surf. Since there is no center rear fin, there is less drag and thus the quad flies down the line on trim. So it is great for making those normally unmakeable flat faced sections. The quad also drives through turns unreal….since you have nearly double the fin area on your rail, you get increased leverage and drive through your turns…..great for acceleration through the second half of roundhouse cutbacks and drawn out arcing top turns. The thruster fin set-up on the other hand, I feel works better in the real performance push back kind of waves where is some hollowness and a lip coming back at you. The positive hold of a thruster can’t be beat, and it pivots off the bottom and in the lip with a much tighter turning radius than a quad will in those type of hollower conditions. So, they both have their place depending on the type of conditions. Many people have been getting the five fin set-up lately so they can have the option of one of the other….two boards in one. Hopefully that helps to explain the difference each fin set-up offers.

2. in your board shop you have an Big Chief with double wing swallow tail, and you recommend a squash tail. Is that for more stability? A squashtail is the most versatile tail shape…..it works great in a wide variety of conditions and wave heights; it draws really clean carving lines in the punchier waves, yet is also snappy in turns with a good release coming off the top. A swallowtail, or double wing swallowtail loosens a board up and makes it skatier….best for smaller conditions to keep it loose and skatey, or just for an all-around looser riding board under your feet.

3. A two color fade airbrush means…. like example artwork17 in your gallery? how about artwork32? The standard two color fade that’s included with the Proxy can be checked out if you go to proctorsurf.com and then to “Proxy Epoxy” and on that page you’ll see about five or six boards lined up and above them it says: Proxy options. There is a two tone grey board to the far left as well as a two tone light blue fade board a few spots over; this is how the fade and airbrush look. We also do a two-tone light olive drab/ sage green fade too. The two boards you pointed out are additional artwork and run around $55.00 – $60.00. You can get any kind of artwork that you can think of….the samples we have are just to give ideas. Nearly every board we do here is completely unique in both the boards custom design as well as the graphics…..so things are wide open there.
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,

Take care

Mvh/Best regards

Thomas

Thanx for the feedback Mr. Master Todd!

I think i would go for the 5 fins setup…so i can feel the difference of the option of thruster too quad.
Since i have my southpoint 6’6″ with swallowtail… I’ll would like to try the squashtail.
And for the artwork… How about light blue in the middle to fade to black on the rails? Or let your creative mind make some nice uniq artwork in this area.
I think we’re getting close to my “perfect board”.
Do you have enough info for shaping one?
Let me now the price for it….and just last one question….: What is the differense from the standard polyester made one and the proxy standard (for my skills)? And what would that cost?

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Hope you had a good weekend.
Everything looks good for the board. I have all the info I need to dial in the magic for you.
The standard polyester construction is the foam and fiberglass construction that boards have been made out of for a very long time; this is a good construction and the boards work very well. About half the boards I make are polyester construction and the price for those start at $585.00 and include fin system and fins.

The Proxy construction is my premium board for both performance and durability.

Proxy is a custom epoxy composite surfboard made with the highest grade materials available for a surfboard.

They are lighter, stronger and slightly more buoyant than the polyester boards…..

lasting approximately 2-3 times longer lifespan. The Proxy is $735.00 and includes fin system and fins, as well as a two color fade….we could do the light blue with black rails.
The five fin set-up for either board is an additional $35.00 for the extra fin boxes. If you would like an extra set of quad fins, they are $40.00.
For international orders we do direct bank wire for 50% of the total to get the board started, then the final half due at the completion of the board just prior to shipment. We have been shipping boards for over ten years all over the world and know how to pack them very well, so most every board makes it to it’s destination safe and sound.

I will have Charissa send you an invoice via e-mail with instructions how to proceed should you like to do so.
Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. i know you would be stoked on a magic Proctor.

As for off-the-menu – that is my specialty

Hey Todd,

As a Central Coast crony, I’m becoming increasingly aware of your work and I’ve got to say, it looks bitchin’. On that note, I wondering if you could give me an idea of cost and turn around for the following:

• 6′-10″ x 20″ x 2 3/4″ EPS/Epoxy squash-tail Big Chief - $735.00 includes fin system, fins, our unique Proxy / custom flexible epoxy construction and a two color fade (keeps the board looking nice and new since they last about three times as long as a normal board – typical colors are two tone light grey, two-tone light blue, or two-tone light olive drab/ sage green fade.
• 6′-8″ x 21″ x 2 5/8″ EPS/Epoxy Rascal II - $735.00 without channels and with thruster set-up….or $835.00 with channels and a five fin set-up to run as thruster or quad. Same colors as above available. You can also go clear on the boards, but over time the epoxy tends to yellow a little quicker than polyester, that’s why typically I spray them.

Thanks for your time.

Mad props,

Marcus

…

Marcus,

I’m so sorry not to get back with you sooner…..things have been going crazy busy here, but besides that I missed your e-mail somehow on the first look through and just now came up with it. Anyway, thanks for the compliments….I answered your questions below in blue..

Please feel free to let me know your height, weight, experience, type of waves you need the boards for….and I’ll let you know any thought I have about what I think you’d be stoked on.

Looking forward to your reply,

Aloha,

Todd

…

Hi Todd,

Thanks for the response. No sweat for the delay…I’m sure you, like most everyone in the biz, were hustling for the run up to Sacred Craft.

At any rate, thanks for the input. It all sounds good. On a related note,

how comfortable are you with a customer ordering “off the menu”, so to speak?

In addition to the stock shapes I inquired about, I would also be interested in a board with the

rocker, rails, and volume distribution of the Big Chief, but in a round-pin quad.

Just curious if that’s an option as far as you’re concerned. Let me know.

Thanks again,

Marcus

…

Hi Marcus,

Thanks bradah…

As for off-the-menu – that is my specialty.

I work with surfers of all different skill levels and styles all over the world…making/ designing concept boards for the specific waves in their area and each surfers specific ideas for the direction they want their surfing to take.

So, I’ve got my proven board models, but those are just as jumping off points so to speak in which we build off of to further customize…keeps things fresh that way, and keeps board design moving forward.

You have each design saved on a database so you can always get the exact board again or slight modifications to it.

So, yes we can easily do a Big Chief volume quad with a round pin….have done quite a few of those with really good results.

Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on some new custom Proctors.

Looking forward to your reply,

the magic dimensions for Twin Fang for you would be: 6’2” x 21” x 2 ¾”.

Hey guys,

It’s Mark here from NZ. I really would like a twin Fang! Could you advise me of a set up and cost for a 88-89 kg average surfer ?

Surf at a break called Piha, in Auckland, and in a country place called Gisbourne.

I have lived and surfed in Ventura longboarding on the point,

and in 2001 was given a twin made by a friend of mine in Dover Lane as a farewell present which surfed amazingly well. Awesome cutbacks! The twin fang reminds me of this board (which got stolen along with my car) so for me this looks like a solid investment.

In terms of paint I like the brown yellow but I have visions of some maori tattoo style with AOTEAROA somewhere you may see some of this stuff on the net but if you can’t no problems. Also a good chance of me flying thru at some stage but I would like a shipped to NZ price if possible.

Thanks very much

Ka kite ano,

Mark

———————————————————————————

Hi Mark,

Sorry to take so long to get back with you….was out of town and then things have been really busy here…

Anyway, it’s nice to meet you, and we can totally get you a Twin Fang out to NZ or if it works out for you to be in Ventura, the either way got you covered.

So, now to the best part….

the magic dimensions for Twin Fang

for you would be:

6’2” x 21” x 2 ¾”.

This board does do awesome cutbacks and speeds and swoops like a racecar that’s lost all it’s brake fluid on the speed run, yet the bigger keels still let you pull the e-brake when you wanna bleed the speed.

Bty – Sorry to hear about your car and board being stolen.

I really like the idea of doing the Maori art with the AOTEAROA mixed in… I think a cool black and white theme would look sick.

Twin Fang’s start at $585.00 for polyesters (traditional construction – foam and fiberglass), or $735.00 for our unique custom epoxy “Proxy” technology. The artwork would run around $100.00 for something with the maori tattoo theme done really rad…or $65.00 for a simpler version of the same thing. Oh yea, the only fin system fin available for the Twin Fang (larger keel style fins) are an upgrade fin (that is super sick), but they are $75.00. That is for either f.c.s. or futures fin system. I recommend the futures system…it is strongest and has the best keel fin template design.

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,

Aloha,

Todd

gidday and thanks for the reply. Good ideas on both the colour and the style of board although I’m not sure on the traditional board vs the newer proxy version. I have attached some pics just to give you guys a rough idea on art.

So black and red, nice!, new future fin set up, board bag (price ?),your call on the board type and shipping -NZ? I have a trip to the Canary Islands early October so I may be able to go via LA so I will check out the pros and cons of coming out to Ventura.
Please advise me of the payment details.
Thanks
Mark

———————————————————————————

Hi Mark,

Both construction methods are great. Out of the two,

the Proxy custom epoxy construction is the premium board I make both for strength and performance.

The Proxy runs about 2-3 times stronger than standard polyester construction and the materials keep their flex-life longer…

which means the Proxy boards last longer and stay springy and lively under your feet longer…

higher grade materials. I do about half traditional polyester boards and half Proxy boards currently now at our factory.

A boardbag for a 6’2” Fang is $56.00….nice padded bag good for day use and travel….has a carry strap too. The bag is made by Prolite specifically for this type of board…it is a good high quality bag.

I’ll have Charissa send you over an invoice breaking down the totals for everything….one for polyester construction and one for Proxy….you can decide which you would like to go with.

I checked out the artwork you sent over…..just what I was thinking. I have a great idea on how to make this board look really sick and one of kind. I noticed you responded that black and red would be nice. I was thinking black pinlines on a white board…..let me know if you are cool with that….black and red would get kind of hot in the sun.

Ok, well if you come out to Ventura enroute that would be great….either way you could just keep us posted as things draw near for your trip.

Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. Charissa will be in touch with you shortly about how to get this puppy rolling.

Speak soon,

Aloha,

Todd

This board is ideal for mushier and smaller waves

Good Morning,

I would be interested at one of your surfboards, I would like to replace my old fish

6’0”x19 7/8”x 2 3/8” with your Rascal 2 with the same dimensions.

I’m 177 cm tall x 76 Kg of weight and my skill level is intermediate; I live in Italy and I practice surf

especially during the summer on beach -breaks, so I find that Rascal 2 would be the right board for me.

I’m thinking about your board model exactly as shown in your web site:

moon tail, 4 parabolic channel, 5 FCS fin (2QPC5front+2GXQrear+PC5center), concave deck, no artwork.

I would like to get a preempt from you about that board said with and without proxy epoxy standard option, shipping cost to Italy included and any kind of insurance against every possible shipping damage.

Please contact me at e-mail:

Best Regards

Marco Chezzi

Hi Marco,

Charissa told me that she gave you a breakdown of the price for the Rascal II as you requested. As far as dimensions go, I think the 6’0” x 19 7/8” x 2 3/8” would be great for you.

This board is ideal for mushier and smaller waves…..generates tons of speed like a traditional fish, but has the maneuverability and responsiveness of a modern board.

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

then i saw your lil' rascal and lil'rascal 2 and really like the look of the lil'rascal 2

Hi Eric,

Nice to meet you….I answered your questions below in blue…

————————————————————-

Hi
My name is Eric and i live in the UK, i am hopeing you could help me choose a new board and hopefully shape me a new board.
Firstly some information about myself:

My weight is usually between 75kg and 80kg and i’m 6ft tall, i’ve been a very dedicated bodyboarder but for last 2 years i’ve mostly been surfing fishes and now feel i want to progress into quicker, snappier surfing. My boards so far in order have been a Jim Banks 5’10 x 20 1/4 x 2 3/8 twin fin retro fish, it felt good but i got tired of drawing long lines. I then got a Donald Takayama 6’2 x 20 1/2 x 2 3/4 quad fish thinking it would be more responsive and loose but it feels very heavy and hard to turn, a bit like a small longboard. I then decided to go for a shortboard so i bought a Webber 6’4 x 19 1/4 x 2 3/8 S-core swallowtail thruster which feels great and friends say my surfing has improved greatly since my first surf on the board, my only concern is its great on the overhead days but feels too big for those small mushy or clean days.

Now i’m looking for a all round, light and strong board for all surf conditions which is quick, loose and responsive.

I like to hit sections hard as well as slide the tail when possible. I’ve been looking at the Lost RNF and was thinking it’s the board i’m looking for but

then i saw your lil’ rascal and lil’rascal 2 and really like the look of the lil’rascal 2

and really hope it’s the board i can work with. I like the fact it has 5 fin boxes so it can be ridden as a thruster and a quad and it sounds like a quick snappy board.

Now for my questions if you could help:

1. Do you ship to the UK and is it possible to give me a quote on shipping cost, my post code is TR26 2FB if it helps? No need for express shipping if it keeps the cost down. Packing and shipping to UK is approximately $250.00 USD.

2. Which board would you recommend and what size and dimensions do you think i should go for? I recommend the Rascal II with dimensions at: 5’10” x 19 3/4” x 2 3/8”….

keep in mind the deck is much flatter and the rails much fuller and boxier than a traditional shortboard shape.

This redistribution of foam gives the board the volume appropriate for your height and weight.

3. Are all the upgrades available for the lil’ rascal 2 or just performance shortboards? All the upgrades are available on the Rascal II.
I recommend the Proxy construction since it is the premium board I make both in strength and performance. The Titanium series upgrades i.e. Kevlar compression patch and carbon hinged flextail are also unreal upgrades to the Proxy….which are available for the Rascal II.

4. Whats the current waiting period for a complete custom board? Currently the waiting period is 3-5 weeks. We also do 2 ½ week rush orders for an additional $75.00.

Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on a magic Rascal II. Looking forward to your reply,

Aloha,

Todd

Hope you can help and thank you for your time
Eric Jooste

keep the stoke

————————————————————

Hi
Thanks again for the great help and patience and after looking at the board over and over again and still loving it i have to take the cost into consideration and make 100% sure i’m getting the right board for what i’m looking for in my surfing.

I want to stop buying new boards and finding out they are not really what i’m looking for so i just want to make sure i make the right choice now and keep the board for as long as it lives.
I like to surf as much as possible in all conditions, no matter how big or small, onshore or offshore and

looking for one board i can use in all conditions,

even though i love pumping down the line and getting as much speed as possible i’m looking to progress into more radical moves like tight snaps, floaters, 360′s and airs.

I understand someone like Kelly Slater and the like could do airs on a kitchen table and it really depends on the surfers ability rather than the surfboard but what i would like to know is,

is it possible to do more advanced moves on the Rascal II or is it not really the ideal surfboard for progressing into more radical surfing?

If i had the money i would buy a Rascal II as well as every other surfboard that would be best for every different style of surfing but unfortunately I’m limited to only be able to afford one surfboard that has a bit of everything.
Hope you can help with my worry.
Thanks again

keep the stoke

————————————————————

Hi Eric,

The Rascal II goes off with the whole back of tricks i.e. snaps, floaters, airs, reverses, 360’s, etc….

If I could offer my personal opinion though, the Rascal II is a great board and it will offer you what you are looking for, but it is more of a specialty board designed for smaller, mushier type waves and not really meant to be an all-around board for the widest variety of waves. For what you are looking for out of your surfing and from one board,

I think the best board for you would be the Greased Pig.

This board carries incredible speed, will do all the new performance moves you want, and is much more versatile than the Rascal II. The Pig is your board that will “do it all” in the widest variety of conditions. For you I would recommend going 6’1” x 19 ¼” x 2 3/8” with a single wing/ stinger swallowtail. Personally, if you want my input, that is what I would think would be the magic board for you.

Aloha,

Todd

I'm after a high performance epoxy smallwave board

Hello Todd. I live in New Zealand. Is it possible to ship here?
I surf mostly 1-2 ft sorf beach break waves..

I’m after a high performance epoxy smallwave board.

Which model do you recommend?
I want to be fast and loose.. You have some really good smallwave models, but hard to choose which one and what type of epoxy..
My standard board is 6’4, 191/4, 2 1/2
Kindest regards
Duncan Stoddart
NZ

————————————————————

Hi Duncan,

I know the perfect board for you: The board model is called the Greased Pig,

and the best dimensions would be 6’1” x 19 5/8” x 2 9/16” with a stinger swallowtail….this board generates tons of speed in the small stuff, yet holds in and surfs tight in the pocket remaining responsive like a performance shortboard.

This is the most versatile performance small wave shortboard I make for your particular waves since it hauls in the mushy stuff, yet is quick and responsive when there is a pocket…..perfect for smaller beachbreaks.

As far as materials are concerned, I do about half polyester boards here (the standard foam and fiberglass), and half the boards are the “Proxy” custom epoxy construction – these are the premium boards I make both in performance and strength.

It is unique from most other epoxy boards in that

it has a very positive flex characteristic

(really springy and alive, not stiff or rigid as can happen with the molded boards, etc…

The Proxy is about two to three times stronger than a polyester board and the memory of the materials last much longer as well….this allows the board to keep that new, alive feeling under your feet longer. You may see that there are a couple of upgrades….the Titanium versions one and two. The Kevlar sheet (that yellow/ olive area on the deck) adds compression strength to the deck without adding rigidity or weight to the board.

The carbon hinge flextail adds strength to the tail as well as providing as a hinge for a thinned out tail which allows for more flex; adding a slingshot effect out of turns.

Both of these upgrades are unreal, but they do cost a bit more to get them….so it is your call. To give you an idea of price, a Greased Pig Proxy in your dimensions is $735.00 (includes fin system and fins), while each of the titanium upgrades is $75.00 each, or $135.00 for both.

Well, that’s what I think is going to be the magic small waves ripping board for you. Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I’ll be sure to respond to you promptly. I know you would be stoked on a magic Proctor. Looking forward to your reply,

Aloha,

Todd

————————————————————

Thanks so much for taking the time to email me way over here in NZ..
Greased Pig sounds good.. I might get another fast small wave model too (Will shipping costs be the same for two boards?)
I was looking at the Lil Rascal or Lil Rascal 2, would these be good for small beachies? Or do they go better in Points?
What size Rascal or Rascal 2 would I be looking at?
My Standard board is 6’4. 19 1/4, 2 1/2
I am 6’2 and weigh 96 kg

Thanks again Todd for the personal touch.
Regards

————————————————————

Hi Duncan,

The packing/ shipping is pretty much the same for two boards as for one….so it is definitely a better deal to go about it that way.

The Rascal’s go better in mushy points, but I’ve ridden them in hollow beachbreaks too, and have been stoked out of my mind….

you have to light-foot them a little more in pushier type waves;

and beachbreaks/ hollow type waves aren’t really what the Rascals are designed for….but out of the two Rascal models, the Rascal II is definitely the most versatile since it has a little extra nose rocker. I would go with a 5’11” x 20 ¼” x 2 5/8” Rascal II. Well, let me know if there are any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on a magic Rascal II and Greased Piggly.

Looking forward to your reply,

Aloha,

Todd

————————————————————

Thanks agin Todd..

Regarding the Rascal 2 and the Greasy Pig..

Are they good for fins out maneuvers, Reverses, slides etc in small waves?

I’m currently on a Surtech Merrick 6’4 Flyer, and it it so temperamental, corky and stiff, I’ve blown so many waves..Usually come in angry..And I don’t like feeling like this about my passion.. I have ordered custom Polyesters in the past, but they always come back heavier than expected..

I like the lightness of the Surftech tho, but the performance isn’t there for me.

I’m 31 now, and the last 8 years or so I’ve made bad board choices and ended up going backwards..

I can surf really well on a magic board, but I’ve lost all my flow.

And get so frustrated knowing I can do a move, but am inhibited by the board, or I land the move yet it feels ugly and too forced.. It is hard being 6’2 and 96 kg, mass production doesn’t cater for surfers of my size who can surf..
Sorry bout my rave!

Regarding the Greased Pig, could I go 6’2 and 6’0 for the Rascal 2?

Thankyou so much for listening..
P.S I looked up your verse Jeremiah 5:22 Very cool!!

Regards
Duncan Stoddart
New Zealand

————————————————————

Hi Duncan,

Yes, both these boards are great for classic style surfing i.e. speed, carves, etc…as well as the modern, progressive style surfing i.e. fins out maneuvers, tail/ rail sliding turns in the lip, etc…
Please don’t worry about “your rave”…..

getting surfers like you the right board is what I am all about….

the custom approach and personal interaction is key!!

The Surftech construction methods are a blight on the surfing world and very different from what we are doing here. The pop-out boards all have the same problem – too buoyant, and too rigid….these are two of the worst qualities you can put into a surfboard.

My approach to board design/ construction is to make a board that has a very positive, springy flex characteristic,

yet is stronger than polyester construction and has a nice light weight – I feel we have been accomplishing something for many years now that the surfing world is longing for….we have so much positive feedback on the Proxy technology it is really incredible….makes me smile.

Anyway, it would be fine to go 6’2” for the Greased Pig and 6’0” for the Rascal II. Considering your build and the fact that you are not stoked on your current board, I suggest we go with these updated dimensions for you….(these are really more appropriate for what you should be riding) – Greased Pig @ 6’2” x 19 5/8” x 2 5/8” and Rascal II @ 6’0” x 20 ¼” x 2 5/8” in Proxy technology.

Well, those would be the magic boards for you….

and I know they would bring the passion and life back into your surfing.

Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have.

Looking forward to your reply,

Aloha,

Todd

P.S. …Yes, God is great….He made it all

————————————————————

Thanks again Todd..
Yeah, The Merrick Flyer Surftech I’m on now is too buoyant, and hard to bottom turn and feels too long in small surf, It’s 2 1/2 thick, 19 1/2 wide..

Heres my order so far
Greased Pig 6’2 x 19 5/8 x 2 5/8 Proxy Parabolic FCS

Rascal II 6’0 x 20 1/4 x 2 5/8 Proxy FCS

I’m wondering about the thickness of the Greased Pig, do you think I could go 2 9/16? As my normal weight is 90kg..I’m a bit overweight at the moment at 96kg.
I’m a bit paranoid of it being too buoyant for me and not being able to bottom turn easily.

Thanks again Todd
Duncan
New Zealand

————————————————————

Hi Duncan,

We can go 2 9/16” for the Greased Pig….that would be good. Everything else looks good…..

parabolic stringers cost a bit more, but they work insane….

definately recommend them for the Pig.

I’ll get the boards down on order forms and have Charissa send you the breakdown/ final invoice and payment methods to get the orders in process. Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. Looking forward to making a couple magic boards for you….speak soon,

Aloha,

Todd

Hello again Todd.
Hopefully our Dollar will go up soon..
Just wondering why the Proxy Rascal 2 is $855 and the Proxy Greased Pig is $735..
Regards
Duncan NZ

Hi Duncan,

The Proxy Rascal II is more because it has the four parabolic channels and five fin set-up.

The channels are harder and take longer to shape, glass and finish sand…..basically I have to pay my crew more to glass and sand them…..and they take me some time to shape them as well. The five fin option is more materials i.e. more boxes and fins….and more labor.

It really is worth it on this board….and I definitely recommend it.

However you can get the Rascal II with the added entry rocker and concave deck, but without the channels or five fin set-up….just the standard Rascal I bottom contours i.e. single to double to spiral vee bottom with tri-fin setup…..this would bring the price down to the same as the Greased Pig @ $735.00. Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have.

Aloha,
Todd

i am looking for a 6´2" custom shortboard with diamond tail.

Hey Guys!

i am looking for a 6´2″ custom shortboard with diamond tail.

i want a board which fells like a skateboard. Easy to control and turning like a skateboard.

Most of the time i want to ride the board in Indonesia. Do you think a futurs quad set up is good for a board like this? How much is a board like this in titanium 1+2 technology with a white finish?

Thanks a lot!

Simon

Hi Simon,
Sorry to take so long to get back with you…been really busy here.

Anyway, of course I can make you a magic 6’2″ diamond tail Titanium quad.

I would go with a five fin set-up that way you can ride it as a quad or thruster…best of both worlds depending on the conditions.
It is $870.00 for both upgrades (Kevlar compression patch and carbon hinge flextail)….and we can do it in white also.
Let me know your height, weight, age, and how long you’ve been surfing/ your experience, and

I’ll detail the perfect design and dimensions for you.

I know you would be stoked on a magic Proctor. Looking forward to your reply, Aloha,

Todd

By the way I liked the way the Lil' Rascal. Surfed so much I picked up a epoxy SR-71 as well…

Hey guys,

I do have a quick question.

By the way I liked the way the Lil’ Rascal. Surfed so much I picked up an epoxy SR-71 as well

(6×18.25×2.25).

Waiting for Bertha to throw some bigger swell my way with fingers crossed. My question is this though. My family is from New Hampshire and I’m heading that was for a little bit. That means 4/3 wetsuit and possible booties and gloves for surfing. I’m 162lbs and was wondering what sort of length or width I should add to board selection for surfing cold h2o like that. Does the weight of a thick soggy wetsuit mandate a larger board (like a 6’2″ or 6’3″ or larger/wider??) or does the buoyancy of the wetsuit balance things out (by some strange science thing)??? Thanks for the boards and your advice!!

Later,
Jason

Hi Jason,

Good for you bro…glad you got a couple beauties to add to he quiver.

A 4/3 does add some weight, and it is good to add about 1/16th of thickness to your board to compensate for it.

Width and length can emain the same, unless you are going to be surfing bigger/ heavier waves also, in which you’d want to increase the length of the board i.e. say for waves a couple feet overhead, then it’s a good idea to jump your board length up about 3-4 inches. But if it’s just colder water then bump up the thickness of your board a little and you’ll be great! Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. Have a great day,

Aloha,

Todd

Dude,

You rock. I totally appreciate the time you take to answer my questions. Plus your boards are sick. Thanks for staying true, man. Proctor all the way.

Later,
Jason

want to get a board that works good in small, mushy waves that we get here in the summer

Hi Todd,

Colin here from over in Puerto Rico. Hope you’ve been getting a lot of waves lately. I wanted to pickup a Rascal I think but wanted to check in with you about sizing etc.

Let me give you my details and maybe you can help…

- Started Surfing a couple years ago in Cape Hatteras – mostly on 9’1 Longboard.

- Picked up a 6’2 x 18 3/4 standard thruster style shortboard which only just this weekend able to get up consistently on and starting to figure out how to generate speed better when the waves are weaker.

I had mixed success up until then and now it’s starting to all click – WHICH IS THE BEST FEELING.

- Where I live, I can’t really truck my longboard around (nor do I particular feel like surfing it that much, if something smaller will do and allow me to work on stuff like pumping and maybe some little airs if possible.)
- I feel like I would have learned the shortboarding faster on a 6’5 which I tried and had more success on… but then I think I just got stronger and pushed through it and now the 6’2 seems ok.
- Scared to go 5″ smaller than 6’2 because I don’t want to end up with another board that’s too small for my ability.
- I’m 5’11 and about 165 (but not a super strong paddler)

– Waves here in the summer are mushy rights and usually small.

- I was thinking 6’0 Rascal. Your thoughts?
- Could you quote me up an epoxy price? When it’s windy here, the kiteboarding in the waves in really good so I might want to kite it – but only if epoxy since standard polyester layups will heel dent.

Cheers,
Colin

Hi Colin,
Nice to meet you. I think you are right on track….it isn’t time to go 5″ inches shorter just yet….your best dimensions at this time are going to be: 6’0″ x 20 1/2″ x 2 3/8″+.

This will paddle you heaps better than your 6’2″ due to the flatter rocker/ bottom curve and the fuller volume through the rails.

This board will also allow you to generate tons of speed where you felt like you had to work for it before. The price for a 6’0″ Proxy/ custom epoxy Rascal is $735.00 and includes fin system and fins. I recommend the futures fin system.
Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on a magic Proctor Rascal.
Looking forward to your reply,
Aloha,

Todd

Hi ProctorSurf!

Colin here from Puerto Rico. Hope you are all getting tons of fun waves!!

I was thinking of picking up a Rascal and was wondering about size.
I am 5’11, 165 and I would call myself just an intermediate. I can surf my 6’2 by 18 3/4 shortboard (finally) but want to get a board that works good in small, mushy waves that we get here in the summer.

I am still working on generating good speed but can catch waves fairly reliably and do some duds (down up downs) haha.

Basically, something to replace my 9’1 HP longboard…. let me know what size you think will be best, pricing and how much an epoxy would be also. Feel free to call me if you want 787 274 0505 or email back.

All the best,
Colin

Hi Colin,

The magic Rascal at those dimensions would be
5’11″ x 20 1/4″ x 2 3/8″+.

I think a nice sage green fade would look sick and that color works really well with the epoxy resin. Dark green wouldn’t look too good….the epoxy tends to make dark colors looks really washed out, but the softer colors look great. We can incorporate a stealyourface (I’m thinking that’s the attachment you sent?) I’t just $25.00 to make a digital laminate image…..how about I put the face 25″ down from the nose centered on the stringer? Lemme know about that.
So, I’ll get to work on this puppy as soon as we receive your down payment. Charissa will let you know once we receive your info/ and when we are starting your new sick stick.
Aloha,

Todd
