5’6″ Octafish Bonzer5 w/E-Wing & Bamboo Fins
This killer little 5’6″ Octafish Bonzer has all the bells and whistles.
It’s got the classic cosmic space scene with the Sacred Serape of Soul crossing the universe.
The icing on the cake, lightweight and strong bamboo wood glass-on siderunners.
E-Wing rail to pull in the tail and keep that nice hip to cutback on.
5’6″ length
20 5/8″ width
2 5/8″ thickness
Double 4 oz deck with third 4 oz “butterfly” deck patch. 4 oz bottom. Feels nice and lively under the arm, especially with the bamboo siderunners. Glossed and polished finish.
Handshaped by Malcolm Campbell out of a quality US Blank.
Artwork by Peter St Pierre (c).
This board is SOLD.

April 28, 2007All these octafish look so sweet.
what does the octafish most ride like – a fish, a quad, a speeddialer???
Also – how do you ride them size wise, same as your fish, same as your shortboard?
Thanks for any info –

April 28, 2007The Octafish should be ridden the same size as your fish.
It’s surfs more positive, more forward than a fish and you never have to hold back and milk your turns. You can go vertical on the Octafish!
You can surf the Octafish aggressively or just cruise and trim. It’s up to you.
This is one of the higher priced shortboard Bonzers we’ve done. I’ve seen non-Campbell brothers Bonzers going for $900 that in my mind, don’t offer as much as this board.

April 28, 2007i’m riding mine the same size as my fish. i like it much better, the 6.25″ point to point and that center fin really make it a lot easier to get tight turns…especially backside. still trying to figure out how to get that quick hook up on steep sucking beachbreak, but it’s more versatile than any of the other fishy templates i’ve ridden.

Why is it called an “Octa”fish?

April 29, 2007Because it’s 8 times as awesome as a normal fish.

April 29, 2007Fingerprinted this board extensively the other day. It’s pretty amazing and I’m sure is going to put a perma-grin on someones face for quite a while.

April 30, 2007i fingered this board yesterday…..its nice, rails felt full so it seemed you could really ride this one short, i’d probably order a bit longer and thin the rails my self.
