Packing ‘em up, and shipping them out...its kinda like when the kids leave for college...parting is such sweet sorrow...so much time and care invested, but now it’s time to let go...fly, fly little birds...you are ready to live out your destiny...spread your wings, and go out across all the world, find your calling, and be a blessing to all around you :) #forthepeople #handmadeinthefreeworld #worldwidecustom  (at Proctor Surfboards Worldwide Custom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFciVRlnQ6c/?igshid=jzlobd5fbuuf

Stoked surfer reports: this just in (from the Hawaiian front / north shore edition on New Year’s Eve)>> “Just rode this board this thing is a sharpshooter...this board my friend feels insane!” - @petemendia 6’1”, 190lbs. Photos: @a.men.3 riding a custom 6’1” x 19 1/4” x 2 5/8” 31.5L #Flyin71surfboard in ultralight poly construction featuring the brand new Extra Large #proctorpowerbrokerhexcorefins made by local Santa Barbara craftsman Chuck Ames @true_ames fins in hex core construction with world map art now available. And glassed with some special new custom designed cloth from @colanaustralia we’ve been testing out with rad results. It is a lightweight, very clear bright white fiber with a strip of carbon/ basalt woven right into the glass...giving the board a nice buffer over the stringer without adding any lump or weight (sometimes associated with multiple layers) to the finished glass job. Great pop and great strength and nice and lite and bright white. On another note, I know we just posted two back-to-backs of Mr. Mendia; but let me ask you, can you ever have too much inspiration from surfing like that? #handmadeinthefreeworld #customsurfboards @billabong @billabongusa @gardenoflife @localbrandfl @electric_surf @nomadsurfshop @crowdcontrolsurf @sushibyjoe @freak_traction @aulta_surf https://www.instagram.com/p/BsEPHWaATq2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gcwb6iwja2pa

Today’s Storyboard: This is a fifth generation duplicate since 2011 of a 9’0” #Proctorperformancelongboard for Ko from Santa Cruz. Throughout the years Ko has been so stoked on this model that we have pretty much stuck with the same design only making subtle custom tweaks here and there along the way. This go round Ko had the idea to go with an ultralight poly blank from @arctic_foam with an epoxy lamination glassed with hi-clear 4oz. d-size carbon/ basalt stringer glass from @colanaustralia with rail lam in our own custom USA woven carbon cloth. With a final deck/ rail cap done in 4oz. S-glass...well it was some of my ideas as well ;)...what you call a collab of ideas between surfer and shaper. Here she is all done up and colored blue so that after the uv rays have attempted to turn the epoxy dingy...ahhh but to no avail...she’ll be springy ridin’ and fresh lookin’ for years to come. Duplicate magic boards? Yes we can. With slight modifications to design and fabrication? Yes we do.
