Surfy Surfy, Can you compare and contrast the rippy rippy experience for riding grovelly grovelly conditions on the Octafish vs. the Alpha/Omega? Inquiring East Coasters want to know. Thanks.
For years I kept 2 boards in the Surfy Wagon, a 5'7" quad fish and a 5'8" Bonzer Octafish. The transition back and forth felt smooth to me. I liked the Octafish in wedgy beachbreak barrels the best.
Octafish is "Not a fish" - this was evident to me when I took mine to Costa Rica on the peak day it was Overhead and 1/2 and that thing did only what I can call "unnatural acts" in solid long period waves...
Notably, it would go top to bottom on a 10' face almost instantly with no effort... Not to mention the insane speed -- oh the insane speed...

The "bystander" is muy lucky he didn't get his head cutback! Dad always taught us to get out of the way......
ReplyDeletewhat happened to the labels to click at the bottom of the blog?
