Description
Plenty of performance in very little board
The Odysea (Catch Surf) 54 Special packs all of the brand's DNA into a short, radical board: the offspring of the Beater Original 54 and the Odysea Stump, with a clipped nose to attack sections. This is the Jamie O'Brien signature version, with a thruster (tri) setup.

Concave in the entry, vee in the tail
