Hello, i was going to submit an appointment request but i am overseas and i think that it would be a little expensive for you to phone here, so i thought it a better idea to email, hope you dont mind:
My name is Nikai Bloor, 31yrs of age.Height:1,76. Weight: 154. experience: 12 yrs, on and off depending on where i was living. When i lived in England only once a week or even once every two weeks. When i lived in Costa Rica (1 yr), every day.When i lived in the canary islands 2/3 times a week. Now i live in south of spain for a short period of time and need a board to surf super small gutless waves. I dont want to resort to longboarding, i love pumping down the line of even the smallest wave and just trying to go crazy.I like trying airs, 360´s even though i make very few.
I want a board for small waves but that i can throw around and do shortboard manouvers on.
My regular shortboard is a 6´2 flyer II chanell island. It goes fine in the canaries in good surf but is very hard to generate speed in small stuff. I also have a 6´0 x 191/4 x 2 1/4 fish. that i absaloutely love. It just flys in small surf but also does a decent cutback, it loves doing floaters and 360´s and i have made a couple of good airs on it. But it died last week!! I need a replacement!!
I really like the look of your Lil rascal and i was also looking at the module, i also like the look of the pod by chanell island. I really liked the footage of Jay philips on the lil rascal.
But i dont know how small to go on a board like that, i am allways scared of going to small and losing the float. but then Yesterday i surfed a 6´2 fish and it felt like a boat! How small should i go?
My brother in law lives in Encenitas and is coming over soon, and could bring me the board.
I appreciate any info/advice that you can give me, in your own time, i am not in a rush. I just really want a small wave board!!! Thanks, y un abrazo desde España. Nikai.

Hi Nikai,
Nice to meet you.
The Lil’ Rascal would be the dream board for you!! This board is incredibly fast in small waves….like a fish, but it has the design features of a more modern board i.e. modern hull contours, more responsive, streamlined outline….to make it much more responsive than a traditional fish. I recommend going 5’8” - 5’10” x 19 ¾” x 2 5/16”. This is the best small wave board I make….it’s almost like cheating how fast you can get going on little nothing waves….and do full rail arcing turns even when there is no lip coming back at you. I actually have a red one in stock here that I think is 5’9” that would work insane for you….it is 5’9” x 19 7/8” x 2 3/8”….or you can order a custom. You can go pretty short because the rocker/ bottom curve is very flat and the volume of the foam is carried out to the rail; making for a great paddling board. For instance, I am 5‘11” and 165lbs….my normal shortboard is 6’1” x 18 ½” x 2 ¼” and I ride a 5’6” x 19 ½” x 2 5/16” Rascal….and my Rascal paddles me better and gets me into waves easier than my normal shortboard.
Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on a magic Proctor Rascal.
Looking forward to you reply,
Aloha,
Todd
