The Lil’ Rascal is the best board for those small days when your normal shortboard won’t get going. It is also a very high performance design that is very responsive.

Todd,

I am looking for some advice on a new small wave board. I was thinking about the lil rascal. I have been surfing for 10+ years. I am 5′7″, 165-175lbs and spend half of my time in new england where wetsuits are a necessity and also travelling to warmer water where it would be nice to have a board that opens up my options a bit. I am looking for the shortest possible board since I am not exactly tall but want to be able to go out in dribble that’s not an option with my normal shortboard and experiment with a new shape(for me anyway). I am sold on epoxy. I have no experience riding any of the “fish” designs so I could use some help choosing dimensions. I am also curious about the quad fin setup. Any advice would be appreciated.

p.s. What’s the turn around time for custom boards right now?

Hi Jameson,

The Lil’ Rascal is the best board for those small days when your normal shortboard won’t get going. It is also a very high performance design that is very responsive. The best dimensions for you would be: 5’5” x 19 ½” x 2 5/16”. I recommend going with what I call the five leaf clover. It is a fin set up that allows you to ride the board as a tri fin or quad. The preferred set up on the Rascal is the larger MR style twin fins for the sides and a small trailer for the back fin. It works great as a quad as well too (very drivey through rail turns)…..variety of fin setups to experiment with….I think the five fin setup would be the best way for you to go; Basically two boards in one.

Standard turnaround is 4-6 weeks. Two week rush orders are available for an additional $75.00.

The Proxy/ Proctor custom epoxy Rascal is $715.00…..five fin option with additional set of quad fins is $60.00. You don’t need any other upgrades since the Proxy technology is our state-of-the art highest grade materials already built in.

We require 50% to start all custom orders; Final payment due at completion of board just prior to shipment.

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

I know you would be stoked on a magic Proxy Rascal.

Looking forward to your reply,

Aloha,
Todd

Todd,

Thanks for the help. I want to order the board in the dimensions you gave me. I would also like to add the five fin option. Should I order through the website or contact you directly? Is it possible to pay the 50% down on the website? Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks again,
jameson
