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!

Dear Charissa and Todd,

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 have ever ridden,

5’8″ in solid 8 to 10 feet seems fake

Just wanted to say that

the board is perfect!

Rode it at C-street

the day I picked it up

and it flew down the line.

Thanks Todd for making me the one board I needed in my quiver.
I am already thinking about ordering another one from you guys this summer that my girlfriends sister can take back to Norway for me.

Thanks again for the perfect board.

Mr Tom is really happy. Aloha.
