THE PROXY

Proctor Custom Flexible Epoxy version 2.0

click here to zoom in

- Stronger than before, lighter than before, with an even more responsive/ longer lasting flex memory -

Made from materials designed for the highest performance surfing possible – utilizes specific flex patterns to increase the board’s torque through turns.
Stronger than the molded boards (i.e. Boardworks, Surftech, etc…)
Lighter than traditional p/u boards (polyurethane)
Custom designed…no pop-outs.
Now with unlimited custom graphics options.

The Proxy….definition. – Custom epoxy surfboard that matches the flex and performance advantages of a polyester board with strength that surpasses the molded pop-out boards.

This is our latest development in the flexible epoxy series.
We begin with an ultra-lightweight epoxy “fusion Core” for the shaped blank – a uniquely formulated eps that has been fused under higher pressures to achieve greater compression strength and less ‘worm holes’ (i.e open pores typical with standard eps foams. These open pores, or worm holes add unnecessary weight due to water or resin absorption into the blank.) The “Fusion Core” does not suck in water, or bubble or delaminate over time like other custom epoxy core materials are prone to do.

I custom shape and design each board on the DSD surfboard cad design program.

This allows me to use my most proven shapes to further customize the perfect board for each surfer. Through personal discussion and interaction, I am able to determine each surfers’ height, weight, experience, the type of waves they surf, and the direction they want to take their surfing. I have always believed that plain old communication is an integral part of the design process.

The glassing is done with premium grade S-glass (the best fiberglass for yielding the highest strength-to-weight surfboards). Strategically placed flex points, or hinges are added at this stage as well. We are offering two performance enhancing upgrades to the new PROXY line….I’m calling this the Titanium Series. Upgrades include: (1) reinforced carbon-hinge flex tail and/ or (2) Kevlar deck compression patch.

The epoxy resin used in the process is also uniquely formulated to have more elongation, or flex than is typically characteristic of most epoxies. This is very important to how a board rides.

The best surfboards flex and recoil back out of turns…..

they flex lengthwise as well as side-to-side along the board….this is the “spring”, the “life” that you feel in a magic board. No matter how great the shape of a board may be, you kill it if you build it so it rides stiff and rigid.

Each board is made from start to finish here in our Ventura factory.

This allows me and the Proctor Surfboards crew to ensure that the highest level of attention and quality is put into every board.

Titanium Series Performance Upgrade Options:

1.0: Reinforced Carbon-Hinged Flex Tail

Gives the board a whip effect out of turns…a thinner tail reinforced with highest grade flex memory composites acts to slingshot the board through maneuvers.

2.0: Kevlar Compression Patch

Kevlar is an incredible composite material. It is five times stronger than steel on an equal weight basis. And the real beauty of this material is that it increases the board’s compression strength while maintaining the positive flex characteristics.
