Rascal II
Yes, you guessed correctly; the Rascal II is an offspring of the original Lil’ Rascal. Don’t worry, it’s not meant to replace the trusty, tried and true design of the original Rascal….
It started as just some thoughts…..ideas for a new board design after contemplating just how much fun I’d had on my Lil’ Rascal over the last year and a half. So, here’s what I came up with….and you know what? ….it goes gangbusters:
Rascal II – I added a slight bit more curve in the last 12 inches of the nose rocker so it rails nice and tight in little nook and cranny pockets.
It has also been set-up to ride as either a quad or thruster…..keeping your fin options open. In a nutshell…..it’s more versatile, faster and looser; skates though the flats quicker, and surfs tighter and more responsive in the pocket than ever before.
Lil' Rascal
This squatty firebrand has all the speed of a retro-style shape, but
with the holding power of a modern board. Using a bulby outline with a
flatter rocker, full boxy rails, and new generation hull contours; it
loves to rocket on 2 foot gutless days when most people are running for
their longboards. This design has better traction than your typical
retro-style speeders. Should be ridden 5” inches shorter and 1” wider
than your standard shortboard. This is the fastest, funnest board I
make for those of you who find yourselves surfing in small, weak,
mushy, slopey, sectiony pointbreak waves ala 1st point Malibu, Leo
Carrillo, Churches, etc… You don’t have to ride a longboard on those
days anymore 
Check out the Rascal Movie to watch how the Lil’ Rascal will have you flying past the longboarders at your favorite spot.

 Holy Shakas Todd! The Rascal II is absolutely insane. I’ve surfed it
nonstop since picking it up from you, and I’m loving it.
This is not just a small wave board; it’s an all around awesome board for
everything from knee high dribblers to head high peelers.
No need to grab the shortboard for the average good days. 
The Rascal II is so manueverable, fast, and
responsive, I don’t want to ever put it back
in the board bag. Everyone should get one.
Thanks for the magic board.

Tanner put the board into the water at Strand this morning,
paddling into some micro waves, but loving the new ride!
Tell Todd the shape works perfectly. Have a good one.

I have to say that my Rascal II is the most fun board in my life!
It has opened up my path to better surfing!!!
I can not stress enough on how much I've improved with this board!
The Rascal II has pushed me to improve in so many ways it's too hard to explain.
I left for college a week ago and sadly i had to leave my board at home, but I was able to use it during the last good swell and it definitely has countless waves caught with it and the most incredible rides in my life. The board gets into waves with such ease it's AMAZING!
I'd have to say that the 2 best attributes to the Rascal II is the control you have with the board and the ease of riding it.
The board is so smooth and so easy it feels like surfing is so natural. the proxy is amazing also! I've had the board for about 3 months now and still no dings or scratches! And i know for sure I've hit a couple things. But overall I have to say THANKYOU Todd and Charissa! the process for the board was so easy and everything promised was fulfilled!

howdy todd and charissa,
I've only been on the new rascal II for 2 days now, but I wanted to take a second to tell you why it's already the best board I've ever had.
In short, the rascal II has given me hope that my best days of surfing are still ahead of me.
let me explain... I started surfing at 10 yrs old and I surfed frequently until the age of 18. at that point, I was very happy with how my surfing was progressing, but then i went to college, medical school, and residency training, and the next thing I knew I was 31 yrs old, 30 lbs heavier and
had barely surfed at all in 13 years.
But then i moved to San Francisco, and, all of the sudden, I had the opportunity to start surfing consistently again. that said, I thought that I could just buy a board and I'd pick up surfing at exactly the level where I left off...
things didn't quite work out that way though.
throughout the last year, it was becoming increasingly frustrating to paddle out day after day and not be able to surf as well as i remembered myself surfing when i was 18. So, I made excuses for my poor performance; I told myself that the waves i was surfing just weren't good for high performance type surfing and that i just wasn't surfing on the right boards. But one year and 4 surfboards later, doubt started creeping in and I was starting to feel that maybe it wasn't the waves or the boards, perhaps it was just me, maybe the combination of my 13 year hiatus, my advancing age, and my worsening physical condition had amounted to some absolute diminution of talent;
I was starting to feel that i just wasn't a good surfer anymore and that feeling was becoming extremely disheartening. ...
then, 2 days ago, I got my custom Proxy Rascal II,
and everything's changed. now, all of the sudden, I'm flying
down sections with confidence, making tight turns, busting out and sliding the tail, and i've even boosted a couple of airs (and I've been doing all of this in some pretty terrible waves).
For the first time in a very long time, i feel like progression is inevitable and i'm happy again with my surfing,
and that is why the rascal II is the best board I've ever ridden.
sorry for being so verbose, but i can't help but feel compelled to let you know how much i love the board.
consider me a customer for life.
Thanks

Hi again
Just to say the board is amazing!! Todd must have some magic surf dust
and he has applied a very liberal coating of it all over the board. I
spent 7 and a half hours in the water on Sunday and only got out
because my shoulders stopped functioning and I couldn't catch any more
waves. I was worried I wouldn't be able to surf it going down froma 7,6
but it surfed like a dream. Tried it on the set waves and also the
shorebreak just for a laugh and it ripped either way. Can really get it
on its edge. Can't wait till next weekend!! Thanks a million!!!
All the best

Todd and Charissa,
Well this email is horribly late but I blame that solely on the board you made me. The lime green 5'9" x 19" 7/8 x 2" 3/4 Rascal II you built for me is in a word.... "insane". I have literally ridden it for 4 weeks straight every single day of the week and am continually impressed with how it performs. It has turned around what would normally be a boring surf sessions in gutless surf into killer sessions. The board just kind of lifts up underneath your feet giving you a gliding/ skimming feeling that I have not experienced before. My surfing has never looked or felt better and I can't thank you enough for that!
I know that this board is reported as a "small wave / gutless surf" board, but I have to say it is one of the most versatile boards I have ever ridden. With the 5 fin setup, I can make adjustments for when faces start jacking up to give the board more bite into the wave (It ripped right through pumping head high to HH+ waves). The waves have gotten quite a bit bigger the last two days and I moved back to my standard shortboard...... I lasted for all of 4 rides before I pulled the Rascal II out again. That would be my only complaint about this board, I want to ride it in everything!!
I will definitely be calling upon you in the future for another board.
Thanks again to both of you! Todd for making the board I always wanted and Charissa for being hands down the coolest person to do business with.
Regards,
