Todd, here is my feedback on the 6’4” LeVee Flexible Epoxy. By the way, got the extra fin screws from you today. Thank you for excellent customer service.
Todd, took delivery of the 6’4” LeVee and let it cure just as you instructed. Here is my comments.
I found the LeVee to be generally very fast and highly maneuverable. The most satisfying thing I can say about the board is that it is very responsive in the tube or any portion of the wave when it became a steep vertical face. That alone made me very happy, as my ability to stay in the tube is somewhat mediocre at best. Also, getting bounced off the bottom on a bad shoulder makes one generally skittish about getting hammered by the lip. The board paddles acceptably well for such a small board. It catches waves well.
This flexible epoxy construction really seems to work.
I can actually feel the board loading under (flexing) on the bottom turn, and then when it releases the flex, feeling the “spring” spit me out of the turn.
That part is really unique to my experience. Kinda like skiing or snowboarding.
It seems durable under my rough handling. It definitely springs back with energy, which is something I have never dealt with before (will take some getting used to, but that is a good thing!).
This board shape and the construction rates a 10 – 10, 10 being best. Thanks for a great product. I look forward to using the flexible epoxy 7’2” West Peak/Big Chief on my overseas trip this year.
I can only imagine what a really good surfer must be able to do with this shape and this construction. This is a quality product.

By the way, I surfed Newport River Jetties yesterday on peaky knee-waist on the 6.4 Proctor LeeVee and my good friend from Hurley was astonished at the speed I was getting on these little waves. I am attaching a couple to give you an idea of what fun I had on your boards.
I am a happy customer, Bert Rivera
