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…
