I've had my Odysea Log for less than 2 months and it's already waterlogged. I 100% tightened the fin and leash before use so it's not that. Question: Why isn't it standard to gorilla glue or something, these plugs before use? I'm debating on getting this board and glue-sealing the fin boxes and leash plug before use. Thoughts?
Okay so that is a great ? on how to deal with a waterlogged Catch Surf Board. I can tell you first hand that these boards can get water logged. Gorilla Glue is great to use on these boards. Let the board dry for a few days. I assume you've checked the board over for gouges that may cause water to enter the board. If the board looks good then I would crank the fin boxes down really tight and apply some glue around the edges of the plugs. If your glueing the HDPE sheeting on the bottom of the board, make sure you sand it otherwise the glue will not adhere to it. Hope this helps a little with your situation. aaron
Yes, I would definitely recommend the 6'5" at 56L. The larger board is going to be more stable for progressing from beginner to intermediate level. The 6'5" is still going to provide plenty of maneuverability by stepping back on the tail and initiate the turn. Thanks for watching the review. Have fun surfing!
For a beginner surfer transitioning to beginner, I would go for a 6' Log blank series. We have those in stock. If you are a complete beginner, I would go for a 8'6" plank or noserider. Both boards are perfect for learning to surf.
If I were you, I would probably consider the 5'5" because it still has 42L of volume which is plenty foam for paddling into small waves. My height and weight are about the same as you and I did ride the 5'11" but now I would definitely get the 5'5" with my skills improving towards intermediate. The 5'5" is going to help with pumping down the line in weaker waves. The 5'5" will be able to perform more responsive turns in a smaller pocket on the wave. It's a super fun board and I'm sure you will be stoked on it. We have all the sizes available, and we just lowered the price on them to. Have a great day. kitepaddlesurf.com Aaron
I currently ride a 7 foot foam but I also have a 6 5 hardboard, I can ride it but I have more fun on my foam. I'm still a beginner I've been surfing for about a year now atleast once or twice a week. I really want one of these but I'm not sure if I should get the 5 5 or 5 11 when I get on my hardboard and pop up occasionally I am too far forward because I'm used to my 7ft, im 5 7, sorry for the long paragraph
I would get the 6'5" for a beginner. A bit more foam will help get you into waves early. Some extra width will help with learning to pop up. Another option is a 7' Log, a great board for beginners. www.kitepaddlesurf.com/products/catch-surf-odysea-log-surfboard?_pos=1&_sid=dbd44a700&_ss=r&variant=39977685680323
Hi iam returning to surfing after a break, iam 85kg and have arthritis in hip so can't pop like used to . I think should be able still get up thinking 6f5?
If you were a decent surfer before the 6'5" at 56L should be plenty of volume to get you out there surfing again. The boards offers plenty of stability and paddle power for getting in early. Another board to check out would be a 6'6" Skipper from catch surf, similar volume and outline. This one is in stock at our store now. www.kitepaddlesurf.com/products/catch-surf-odysea-skipper-quad?_pos=2&_sid=30fa76347&_ss=r&variant=42050034237692 Thanks for watching and glad to here your getting back into surfing.

Hey so I’m 6’2” and 220lbs. I’m beginner/intermediate. Would the 6’5” model be a good fit for me??
Yes, I would definitely recommend the 6'5" at 56L. The larger board is going to be more stable for progressing from beginner to intermediate level. The 6'5" is still going to provide plenty of maneuverability by stepping back on the tail and initiate the turn. Thanks for watching the review. Have fun surfing!
This información is perfect
I’m 1,72cm X 62kg
I’m a beginners/ intermediate
I’m interested in the catch surf lost RNF.
What do you recommended me? The 5’11” or the 6’5”? Thanks
The 6'5" will make paddling and catching waves easier due to it's volume and length
Hello, awesome video!! Keep posting like this! I am beginner surfer what size do you suggest? (5'10'' and 169lbs)
