We are committed to making highest quality, custom surfboards, manufactured from start to finish in our factory in Ventura, CA. Surfboards built by hand in the USA, using highest grade materials, are more costly and labor intensive to produce. Yet, this is the model that enables the shaper to maintain essential hands-on interaction with the design and production process, and which sustains the synergy of shaper and surfer for the best possible equipment.
How does a custom surfboard order work?
1 >> TALK WITH TODD :::
Todd will detail all aspects of your board design, model, dimensions, specs, fins, graphics, and price during this consultation & collaborate with you to get you dialed into the board that’s right for you. If you wish to discuss custom graphics please make sure to e-mail us examples of anything you want to reference during the phone call ahead of time. You can browse our art galleries here. Please be prepared to finalize all details of your custom order during this single one-on-one with Todd as we do not make changes to custom orders after the fact and this is the time during which Todd will be completely focused on your personal surfing journey, preferences & goals. Consults typically run 10-30 minutes & are limited to a maximum of 30 minutes.
2 >> ENJOY THE INTERACTION, HAVE THE CONVERSATION & BE HONEST :::
Don’t overthink it. Todd has been custom tuning boards for individual surfers of all experience levels in all sorts of conditions worldwide for 25 years & will ask you the questions he needs to know to properly advise you. Just make sure you answer honestly. The more info you provide to us about what you are riding now (ie. full dimensions/volume if available, etc) and your personal surfing journey, the better.
3 >> 50% DOWN PAYMENT :::
Custom orders are started with a down payment of 50%. We accept VISA, MASTERCARD, DISCOVER, AMEX, DEBIT/CHECK CARD, Zelle bank transfers to [email protected], money orders, wire transfers, and cash. All sales are final & down payment in non-refundable.
4 >> WE e-mail detailed pdf copies of your sales & work order to you following the consult :::

You will also receive an invite to our customer portal where you can setup a password associated with your e-mail and can access your board order history, invoices and profile information with Proctor Surfboards at anytime.

We offer various rush expedite options for those who need a quicker or guaranteed turnaround.
