Proctor Surfboards Accelerator - performance small wave shortboard

The Accelerator
Skill level: intermediate to advanced
Type of waves: primarily designed for knee high to shoulder and weak, but it goes great in everything up to slightly overhead.

This board is specifically designed to make small wave performance surfing easy. You get fast-driving speed bursts off the front foot and hair-trigger, tail whipping warp-arcs off the back foot. A wider nose outline and low entry rocker get this board into waves quicker and blot it down the line faster. A bendy tail rocker sweeps off the back fin making it quick and responsive in tight rail-arcing hook-turns. An even single concave runs through the midsection of the board making for a "wide open sweet spot" i.e. the board wants to go even if you don't have your feet right in the perfect spot every time.

Right at the fins the rocker 'drops out' and the single concave goes deep....this creates what feels like an engine under your back foot. The deep concave forms an air pocket as well as a straighter path to compress the water through the extreme rocker of the tail....this air pocket acts like a gas pedal or "accelerator"...push back on the tail and it rockets through turns like a piece of ice on wax paper.

Here's the dimension I suggest based off your normal "good waves" shortboard: ride this board one inch shorter, 1/4" wider in the middle, 1/2" wider in the nose, and 1/8" wider in the tail. Go with the same thickness just with a fuller, boxy rail. This creates a flatter deck which gives the board a springier flex pattern....key for that extra little thwang in small waves.

Oh yea...as a bonus, it also goes looneybinsmental in everything up to slightly overhead.
