The Accelerator ----------------------------
Skill level: intermediate to advanced --------
Type of waves: primarily designed for knee high to shoulder and weak, but it goes great in everything up to slightly overhead. -------
This board is specifically designed to make small wave performance surfing easy. You get fast-driving speed bursts off the front foot and hair-trigger, tail whipping warp-arcs off the back foot. A wider nose outline and low entry rocker get this board into waves quicker and blot it down the line faster. A bendy tail rocker sweeps off the back fin making it quick and responsive in tight rail-arcing hook-turns. An even single concave runs through the midsection of the board making for a ?wide open sweet spot? i.e. the board wants to go even if you don?t have your feet right in the perfect spot every time. ---------
Right at the fins the rocker ?drops out? and the single concave goes deep....this creates what feels like an engine under your back foot. The deep concave forms an air pocket as well as a straighter path to compress the water through the extreme rocker of the tail....this air pocket acts like a gas pedal or ?accelerator?...push back on the tail and it rockets through turns like a piece of ice on wax paper.
---------------
Here?s the dimension I suggest based off your normal ?good waves? shortboard: ride this board one inch shorter, 1/4" wider in the middle, 1/2" wider in the nose, and 1/8? wider in the tail. Go with the same thickness just with a fuller, boxy rail. This creates a flatter deck which gives the board a springier flex pattern....key for that extra little thwang in small waves. ----------------
Oh yea...as a bonus, it also goes looneybinsmental in everything up to slightly overhead. --------------------- PROCTORSURF.COM -------------------- Shaper: Todd Proctor ------------ Film & Edit: Alex Neiburg ---------- Surfer: Australian, Jay Phillips, Gold Coast

PROCTORSURF.COM/SR71.html ------------------ Features single-to-double concave bottom for a drivey, predictable feel. Lower entry allows you to get into waves early and gain quick bursts of speed down the line. Good amount of tail rocker bending through the second half of the board makes for a tight turning, top-to-bottom board. Drives of the bottom like a dream and carries it?s speed through turns. An all around performance design that pushes back in waves large and small! My personal favorite.------ Jay Phillips, Mainland Mexico, Channel Islands ----- Footage courtesy: Greg Strugach, StruProductions.com -------- Video Edit: Proctor Surfboards ----- ....Equipping you for the journey ------ PROCTORSURF.COM
Tail Caves II - This shape has been refined from feedback at Australia?s Super Bank, Burleigh Heads and Kirra. This board loves the barrel and loves to gouge. The rocker features a fair amount of bend between the feet, shallow concaves through the fins and slight vee running off the back fin. If you want a board that throttles you maching out of deep caverns, and enjoy running a rail bucketing through vert benders?then this is the one for you. - Surfer: Jay Phillips - Shaper: Todd Proctor - Footage: Shagga - Shot on Location: Snapper Rocks & Duranbah - PROCTORSURF.COM
Last month?s flat spell got me to thinkin? about summertime, which is right around the corner?..south swells, warmer water, hot sun, fire coal sand under the feet ? love it!
So here?s a great little summertime change-up board to keep the speed up and the stoke fresh ? The ?Twin Fang? (watch the outtakes at the end of the video for how we came up with the name).
You see a lot more of these weird little boards in the lineup these days?..and they?re back `cause they?re fast. This is an updated version of the original ?Fish? design. I?ve incorporated a modernized single-to-double concave-to-accelerated spiral vee bottom, and blended it with the original retro outline, flat deck and full rails...why? - for the enjoyment of hair raising speed runs.
I recommend riding this board eight inches shorter, two inches wider and 1/8? thicker than you regular shortboard dimensions.
Also available: with quad fin setup, or in the ?Proxy? (custom flexible epoxy) construction.
