I am about to teach a friend to surf their new surfing sup and I had offered them to use my big Odysseus for their first couple of surf sessions thinking the added stability might give them more confidence at moving their feet and help with catching their very first waves.. So.. I thought I better check that this big stable-table of a board actually does surf ok so I tried it out yesterday.. I'm thinking the channels and concaves on the bottom must not only help with stability and tracking of this very wide board but they must help unstick it from the water promoting very early planing.. It was awesome and surfed great..

Yes.. Great for small easy waves like these but I think it might be a bit tricky on bigger waves..

You'll never get performance style surfing out of a board like this but I was surprised at how well it went..

Nice one ...I just brought a 11 'glide ..I wonder if it could surf ..??..haven't tried it yet . Great wave you got there.

Yep ...I sold my 11.6 Nalu and brought the 11' glide ...best thing I've done all year ...
but I was ..impressed by the Odysseus ...it does surf..I nickname it the nugget.
