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 surf reports >> this just in: “Todd, here’s me and Matt (in that order) on our Proctors. I’m on the latest squashtail #Monstapigsurfboard you made me and Matt is on his #ghostsurfboard and says it’s the best board he’s ever had btw!! Thanks so much!!” – Stephen

…and here’s @petemendia doing that frontside hack that gets us all amped to go surf.
6’0” x 19 5/8” x 2 11/16” 33L #Falcon3surfboard …a moderate rockered board with a slightly fuller outline and an extreme reverse vee to deep single with full barrel inset doubles through the fins. And just a tick of flip in the tail rocker releasing off the back fin…for a fast actin’ speed gouger that gains drive out of full rail laden pressure cooker turns.

Jonah from San Clemente just re-wrote the WSL (World Style League) rule book…here’s what speed power, flow …and style looks like. It’s what makes surfing a dance instead of a seizure.
