Bullet Single Fin Surfboard & It’s Definitive Purpose
Some people say, “Man, I’m tired of wiggling….I’m tired of my board sticking….I wanna go fast, I wanna feel free to speed and arc out my turns where I wanna.” These same people also say,
“I don’t want to think no more ‘bout having to surf technical and perfect in the pocket….and having my board punish me if I don’t…..somebody gimme a bullet.”
The bottom runs a single through the middle under the front foot for a positive drive off the front foot when the waves are small….then it splits to double barrel concaves ahead of the fins, and finally to a spiral vee through the front fins and pronounced vee off the tail. This incorporates the smooth flow of a traditional vee bottom (which is very free and forgiving and tippy rail to rail….and which also gives the tail a nice free brakes are off feeling instead of the sticky backfoot feel that can be common in traditional single to double concaves. Basically it combines the a flatter more traditional rocker with a synthesis of modern concaves placed into the traditional vee bottom….which gives the board much more horsepower and hold while still maintaining the classic free and easy feel under the feet.
Ideal conditions: knee high, mushy and blown to ribbons, to overhead glassy barrels
Experience: low intermediate through advanced
Designed for: fast, free single fin retro ripping with a twist of modernity thrown in.

Todd discusses how free a single fin feel can be. For those of you who haven’t ridden a single fin before or think that it was just a 70’s design that was obsolete when the thruster came along.
It really isn’t.
It has its purpose. And it’s a definite purpose that it’s got. And that’s to refresh your rail game, keep things free and easy and glidey, and it really lets you work on technique too. It’s the type of thing where it’s a technique-trainer without being a harsh schoolmaster.

“Hey Proctor Family!
Finally getting back to you with feedback on my 7’0 Bullet as I wanted to really explore all the various fin combinations and give it ample time in the surf under various conditions. I already have a ton of FCS II fins as well as six different single fins I bought just to dial The Bullet.
Well, if I had a one board quiver this would be my top pick. I love it more and more. Keep in mind I’ve had seven custom beauties so far including four MonstaChiefs, two MonstaFishes, and lastly my new favorite The Bullet.
After trying all sorts of fin setups in the five boxes I’ve settled on two different single fins depending mostly on how steep the face is. Yup, I’m a single fin convert! If (when!) I order a 2nd Bullet I’ll go single fin box only. It works SO freaking good! The best feel of any board I’ve ever surfed while allowing me to surf the way I have the most fun … ultra smooth, flow, high lines, glide, top turns, tight pocket rocket, and stylish cutbacks.

Another amazing creation from my friends at Proctor. Well done. Super duper triple Shaka stoked!

Surfed the point at C st this morning. Waist to chest wind swell. Board was awesome. Smooth transition rail to rail. Flys through sections like it has a jet pack. Carves amazing too. Couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much for everything.
Brennan
PS – Looking forward to getting the bonzer.
PPS – I had no problem transitioning from a HP shortboard to this. Anyone who says single fins are hard to ride hadn’t ridden a bullet. This is my daily driver now. *insert multiple shakas here*”

Just shaped it (the one in the middle): A sleeked up Bullet single fin 6’0” x 19 7/8” x 2 5/8” 32.7L for Brennan for a barrelly little local point that’s a special novelty when it happens…it also happens to be my favorite spot…
This board’s also getting a magenta resin tint with cutlaps. Stay tuned. #bulletsinglefin
