Hey Todd and Charissa, wanting to get duplicate of the Monsta HD(it’s deserving of a...

A great board for powerful surfing in less than ideal conditions, yet has the versatility to hold in and run clean in waves with steepness as well. Very drivey with hold, yet has a nice crisp release in the lip. Typically you want to ride this board 2” shorter, 1/2” wider and the same thickness as your good waves board. Volume is carried into a fuller boxier rail and wider nose and tail. Great summer-time gouger.
a one-of-a-kind new creation; not based off any existing board models.
The original concept was intended as a mid-range grovel board for smallish-scale California summer surf …it has become so much more than that.
When I first embarked upon this new drill, few expectations were placed on the Pipsqueak because I honestly wasn’t quite sure what the result was going to be….reason being it is a surfboard designer’s melting pot of sorts; an introduction of a multitude of new design variables all puzzled precariously and seemingly randomly together; a gently forced convergence upon one hapless little board.
Typically, I’ll take an existing model, introduce one new aspect of design to it, and viola, see what happens….move in a direction i.e. the “design process” = “slowly”, “accurately”, “safely”…and so on and so forth…that story unfolds itself.
However, this Pipsqueak grew on it’s own from the ground up….
It didn’t involve the scanning of an existing shape; no start point; not even a foam blank or planer…a blank screen/ a clean slate.it is my strong-willed child birthed during a one hour design session on a blank computer canvas.
I began to draw and draw – dropping in points, connecting curves to them….a flat flat rocker with an unreasonably low entry // bringing back a ‘flip-nose’ at the tip // short, wide, thick on the rail, flatter deck, heavy heavy concaves (like a tow board) // it has a saggy rail line rocker through the back half of the board I affectionately refer to as the “beerbelly”; a concept which makes for a smooth-swiveling ballbearing-like effect resulting in a super quick-turn-response in the area of the wave where the water is surging fastest (at the energy source where maneuvers should happen) // introduced a ‘step-channel’ exiting a wing off the trailing edge of the front fins = to accelerate all that compressed water into the mainframe of the board’s engine while exhausting it an even faster ratio =
The essence of the new shape =
no matter small and slopey and no matter steep and deep….we have a new top speed, grippy, compact, volatile control, acrobatic launchpad co-mingled with the power of classic railwork….a user-friendly board for drawing classic lines and/or the most complex surfing possible, from two foot to double overhead…

I just wanted to say a big thank you to Todd & Charissa and all...
Just wanted to give you some feedback on my Pipsqueak. Favorite board in my quiver...
I have a very political statement to make: Here’s a 5’8” x 19 3/8” x 2 3/8” 28L #Pipsqueaksurfboard in #carbonfootprintsurfboard construction with light grey resin tints, and a 5’9” x 19 3/8” x 2 3/8” 28.7L #Monstasurfboard v.2 in #carbonfootprintsurfboard construction for Adam. By riding these boards Adam will find himself free, free to go about on the wave face anywhere he wishes to go without the pressure of being told where he ought to be going. He will be free to shout out in joyous rapture all manner of surf-stoked silly banter even if it is considered controversial. He will not be fact-checked as to how radical his fins free tail tapping whap bappin lip snaps coulda been or even shoulda been…cuz man he’s already there…right where he wants to be 🙂
And that’s how free-surfers roll.
Some boards going out this week: (here’s just a few…if we could post them all we would, but then we get people complaining that we are “cloggin’ tha insta feed bro”…so we’ll try to reign in our unbridled enthusiasm…three cheers for the people)
(1) 6’4” x 21 1/2” x 2 7/8” 42.5L #Lilrascalsurfboard for John from L.A. surfing for life…with daughter Ella (who rides a 5’7” #Pipsqueaksurfboard
(2) 6’5” x 21 1/2” x 2 7/8” 47L #Monstachiefsurfboard for a classy lady who lives sometimes in Malibu sometimes in the South Pacific (with custom proctor girl lams)
(3) 9’2” x 22 1/2” x 2 7/8” #Proctorperformancelongboard with custom killer whale art on deck and organic black stripes on bottom for shark deterrent …for Maura in Maine.
(4) 6’0” x 22” x 2 7/8” 44L #Sputniksurfboard with custom resin stripe patterns…for Jayson in NorCal.
(5) 5’10” x 19 3/4” x 2 11/16” 35.75L for Matt in Florida. His daughter drew the black line art pattern on some paper so we had it enlarged and transferred onto fiberglass, and added some hand painted resin color over it in the lamination.
(6) 5’6” x 20” x 2 7/16” 31L #Blazersurfboard in ridiculite epoxy construction with deep gray resin tints…for Barry in Santa Cruz.
(7) 6’4” x 21 1/4” x 2 7/8” 47L #Monstachiefsurfboard in #carbonfootprintsurfboard construction with sage green resin tints for Brandon
(8) 5’8” x 19 3/4” x 2 1/2” 32L #Lilrascalsurfboard for Jake in Oxnard
(9) 6’5” x 23 1/4” x 3 1/8” 55L #Monstafishsurfboard in epoxy construction with blue resin tints…for Bruce for summertime New Jersey.
A new board for the daughter:
This is John picking up a new 5’7” x 19” x 2 1/4” #Pipsqueaksurfboard for his daughter Ella who is 14 years old 5’5” and 110lbs. Ella is a sweetheart and a talented surfer, and this is her first high performance board. She is ready. Can’t wait to see what she does on this newy.
Just shaped it:
This is the tail section of a stringerless epoxy #Pipsqueaksurfboard showing the curved-slot-channel-to-dropout-rail-spiral-concave that gives this board a special hold off the bottom wind up to controlled buckets fin release pivot…affectionately experienced by Pippy lovers. The stringerless construction complements well the thwangy fin release coupled with power and torque.
This one is a 5’11” x 19 3/4” x 2 11/16” 33.5L for Jody who is 5’10” 177lbs surfing for life, intermediate/ advanced an all around go-to board for everything NE Florida offers up on a daily basis.
Jim’s 6’2” x 21” x 2 3/4” 37L #proxyepoxy #pipsqueaksurfboard for Ventura county | 48/5’11”/180lb
You know when you meet certain people that seem like they are always smiling, look you in the eyes when they talk to you, and when they speak they have something nice to say; things that build up not tear down. People that laugh a lot, not about crass low stuff, but about the light quirky, and actually funny things of life. People that are positive. Those kinds of people inspire us because they draw people together instead of pitting people against one another. This is Pierce. He’s one of those people. 📷 @gcastillophoto
