Todd & Charissa,

Love the boards! Have been cutting up the waves on both.

The MonstaChief is way more maneuverable than my C6.

Pulled off a nice floater yesterday and released the tail off the lip on my first wave.

Thanks for helping me elevate my surfing!!!!!!

Hey Charissa,

Picked-up the 6’4″ MonstaChief from Hawaiian South Shore and got to surf it in 1-2+ ft. (Hawaiian scale) at Threes Waikiki yesterday.

The board catches waves so easily and I caught a ton of waves.

I rode it with the honeycomb AMT Futures fins and

the board had heaps of drive and speed.

What surprised me the most was how quickly the board recovered in a tail-slide (unintentional) cutback.

On that cutback, I thought I dug the inside rail and was about to backflop and waste the wave,

but, wow, the next thing I knew,

I was banking off the foam and shooting back down the line

In that instance, I knew it was the board and not me that saved what I thought was a going to be a major fail.

Todd really is a shaper extraordinaire,

please send him my regards.

Hey Charissa,

Just wanted to say how stoked I was

out in Maui this time around

with my new Monsta and g4e.

It’s a great feeling to surf with confidence in the super bad ass equipment under your feet.

I think I surfed better on this trip than I ever have.

Just talked to Gerran -

he was blowing up about the sick south shore pits he caught this morning (including the “best south shore barrel of his life”)  and raving like a wild man about the super typhoon!

I should have recorded him – it was pure stoke – raving about how well it fit in the pocket and how deep he was getting and pumping and making impossibles!

And we went on with the Monsta and the Typhoon covering all conditions he surfs – a perfect complement.

Pllease pass along the giddy buzz — another surfer loving the journey!

Cool pic of Paul styling through an early morning bottom turn at marineland -

dig that red rascal – the board that started the south shore love affair with Proctor!

The Monsta I got for this summer

is hands down the best board I’ve ever ridden.

I haven’t had so much fun riding small waves in years.

It’s 3 years (?) old and going strong.

Not a single ding.  Amazing.

I should go a little smaller but hard to beat the paddling and drive in weak summer surf. It has been my go-to small wave board for so long that my longboard is resigned to loner duty.

Your proxy gear is legit – nothing else like it.  Only thing I’d trade it for is a carbon footsie proxy

BTW – Dave Kelly is SOOOO stoked on his CF Apache Ghost he can’t stop talking about it — classic.

Keep rocking!

MAHALO and happy weekend!

Hello Charissa,

Surfed my Rascal 2 couple of times

and found this board is FAST.

I was always skeptical about buying boards other than our local shapers here in Hawaii.

I always thought how different could a surfboard be with just so many ways to shape it.

Well just to let you guys know

this board IS MY MAGIC BOARD!

Thank you. Aloha Eddie, Mililani, Hawaii

I just wanted to write and say thanks for the killer Monsta quiver.

I have been surfing daily since I returned to San Diego

and just came home from a week long North Shore trip

where I paddled out the Monsta Step-up into 6 – 8 foot Hale’iwa.

Super fun.

Hope all is well and I will talk to you soon.
