the APEX Extended // a new performance shape for average waves
Todd Proctor & Nick Rozsa brainstorm a new performance shape for average waves.
An all-around high performance shortboard; a conglomeration of design aspects from the Blackbird, Super-Typhoon and Ghost models all synthesized into one versatile compact shape.
The entry rocker is lower like that of the Ghost, allowing for early entry into waves and quick speed down the line. The rocker is surprisingly steep through the midsection of the board; the apex of the rocker peaking at dead center….much like that of the Supertypoon; this gives the board a nice swivelly almost ball-bearing like feel, immediately climbing it high and tight straight into the lippy power part of the wave.
The concaves are heavy throughout and increase in depth as the water runs through the bottom of the board…..this creates incredible speed, but with 100% hold no matter how hard you push it off the bottom or through turns. Has a nice progressive release out of the back of the wave when you want it to though.
The Apex is typically ridden the same height as the surfer, and a touch wider (1/8″ – 1/4″) than a good waves/ travel shortboard. If you’re favorite travel board/ “good waves” board is the blackbird or supertyphoon then you will love this model as it’s the ‘everyday’ performance version.
This is a good airboard with lots of speed down the line and likes to project out of the lip.

Stoked surfer reports >> SOMEBODY SPONSOR THIS GUY EDITION >> this just in: “Hey guys wanted to get in touch with you straight away to let you know I made the final of that QS in Morro Bay! And it is so good to know that I’ve got the best boards in the world under my feet. I’m doing the best surfing I’ve ever done in my life. The new 6’0” x 19 5/8” x 2 11/16” 33L #Procco2030surfboard roundtail poly is a hammer, and the 5’11” x 19 3/4” x 2 11/16” 33.3L #Velocimonsta2030 roundtail ridiculite epoxy is soooo fast. Everyone’s tripping on my boards. All the rehab and physical training is paying off huge too, and I feel really good. So anyway I wanted to say THANK YOU for all the time, support and encouragement through the last several years when literally all my sponsors dropped me after my injury. Todd, that one day I saw you at Rincon and it was like my first surf in three years, and you let me ride your brand new personal board you had just made, and it was magic straight away. I knew God was up to something. How you and Ricky prayed healing and restoration over me, and you made me boards. You guys stood by me when no-one else did. I’ve been in this sport and around this industry for long enough to know just how important the best boards are; they are priceless actually, and you and Charissa have sacrificed to help me. I recognize that and know that leaders and winners show gratitude for those that help them achieve their goals. I’ve seen so many insecure followers and losers make their wins all about themselves, and I will never be a person like that…so from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU!! Hopefully much more to come. Love you guys!! Onward and upward yeeew 🙂
