Love the board – took it out 3 times since I got it and

everything about it is better than the bigger quad board I was riding.

I’m glad Todd had me bring down the height to 5’9″…

its doesn’t feel to short at all.

Good swell coming in today down here in the OC – perfect timing on the new board.

Thanks to the Proctor team!

I got it on St. Pattys Day and

it’s the only board I’ve ridden since.

Its a 5’10″ Greased Rascal with a 5 fin setup. I live in New Jersey so I usually use the quad set up but when it gets big with hurricane swell I usually rock the thruster set up.

Honestly man the board is so amazing I can catch basically any wave with a few paddles if I’m in the optimal spot.

It is great at catching waves, it’s extremely fast, I can make a lot of sections I otherwise wouldn’t be able to make if i was riding a different board, and most of all i can get barreled out of my mind because of the way it just sits in the pocket of the wave.

You really did shape the thing to perfection for me. I am so thankful I went through you to get my surfboard because I cant imagine riding anything else. I paid a ton of money for the board especially with the shipping and handling but it was worth every penny.

From the bottom of my heart man I appreciate you for crafting me this beautiful creation.

I just wanted to tell you that you

created a masterpiece for me and

it is my quiver of choice by farrrrrr.

I think that the board will last for a while because I’ve had it for two years now and aside from some dings it is in perfect condition. I think its because I had you put on the S-glass.  I surf a lot and I’m not easy on the board at all, it stands up to everything I put it through and it still looks great.

Thank you so much Todd, keep doing your thing man you shape a wicked stick!

and I wanted to tell you this board is magic.

I rode it today for the first time and I have to say it is everything you describe it to be. Magic board, and after riding Channel Islands and JS boards the last few years I am now a Proctor Surfboards customer.

I will be looking to you for my next order,

just wanted to say thanks,

stoked to get a board off a shaper

who obviously has pride in his craft.

This board is insane!!!

Thanks,
Jeff Bason

Todd put 5 fin boxes in a Lil’ Rascal board.
And I rode it as a thruster for a bit. And it felt good…
and today I wanted to try the board as a quad.

So I put the same size fins in all four places and the board was so fast and held in.

I could go at a section and push as hard as I could and it did not slide out.

Epic

Can’t wait for the next session

The Bullet as a quad is a get-in-early speed machine.

The farther back you get on the tail,

the faster it wants to go.

Good crowd control board in case nobody wants to share that day. Caught several nice, large set waves this morning. Then removed myself from the water in case I started not share.

The Ghost will be a great board for me. It was a little soft at 5-6 ft. and it was slow to get in. Then one with some power came and it was instant, smooth take off.

It’s what I wanted, not a duplicate of my Monsta, but a board for more punchy or critical waves.

As the norm, you made two great boards for me.

Thank You!….Best Regards,John

It was Just what I wanted, and I cant thank you guys enough…

This board is now my everyday board and

I can’t say enough about

how fast and freakishly fun

it was with the quad.

Greetings Proctor Family,

Just wanted to say all is well here in Afghanistan and I really, really, really miss my Apache!

I’ll be taking leave in December for Christmas with the family

(and for good conditions on the North Shore)

and I’ll be linking back up with Brandon McConnell who now lives on the point between Lani’s and Chun’s. Can’t wait.

Hope all is well with the biz and that your still helping folks along with their journey in life and surfing.

DearTodd and Charissa,

As promised here are two pictures of Brandon and I with our Apaches.  This picture was taken right before we took Brandon back to the airport so he could fly to Iraq to finish the last three months of his tour.  I’ll be flying to Afghanistan on the 1st of April.

Thank you both so much

for the hard work and enabling us

to have such a fun time on the water.

We’ll protect your freedom so you can work hard to help us enjoy ours .

Yall are truly amazing people and I look forward to getting home safely and getting back out on the surf.

Tell Todd that I’ll be looking for an “end of tour completely custom board” when I return from Afghanistan.  The name of the Infantry Company I command is “The Comanches” so it might have to be a bit more custom than the apache haha.

More to follow as I dream of this new board over the next year……..take care and God Bless!

WOW!  I just got Brandon’s board today from Fedex.  I pick him up at midnight tonight at the Airport.  I’m sorry, I couldnt resit opening the box, I justified it by telling myself that I had to check it for shipment damages from the deliver, (of course there were none, but I knew this ) and I must say I was blown away by the design!  Todd did a great job with the paint job!  At least he’ll be camoflauged from all the Tiger Sharks on the North Shore now.  Y’all continue to impress.  Thanks for your kind words and prayers.  Hopefully when I return I’ll see Proctor surfboards making their way into local shops around the island.  I have a feeling that these two boards will generate some more business from the island for y’all.  Tomorrow when we hit the surf we’ll be sure to take a picture to send yall of the terrible twosome with the sickest boards on the island!

I wanted to thank you for the amazing board, it performed better than i even expected, I took it down to san diego and

the thing was just screaming down the line the whole time,

it goes so fast and explodes off the lip like nothing i’ve ridden before,

the lil rascal 2 has to be the best board I’ve ever owned,

your dedication to customer service was awesome as well, I’ve been looking at the Monsta for my next board, consider me a customer for life.
