ODYSEA SKIPPER VS. ROUND NOSE FISH - CATCH SURF BOARD REVIEW

I’m 6ft and 100kg, looking to move from my 9ft log to a shorter board. Would you recommend the 6’6 skipper? I figured it would be a good transition being wide with plenty of volume.

Are theses good beginner boards

Because I like my 6'6" Skipper so much, I just bought a 5'6" Skipper. I'm enjoying both boards, but catching waves on the 6'6" is way easier. I'm feeling quite proud of myself these days.

Buying a 6'6" Skipper was the best decision of my life. The Skipper is perfect because I can catch waves and have fun while I transition to from long boards. I can't say enough about it. It is so fun! I recommend to anyone trying to go with a smaller board. I catch just as many waves as I do on my 8 foot epoxy board, and the Skipper is much more fun.

Late you never know hen it’s your last breath

oh man standing them on the tails risky business X_X

I’ve got the 6’5 RNF - do you think it’s a good one to take to Sri Lankan mellow reef breaks?

I am 6"4 for 191 ! I would like to choose rnf ! 5"5 or 5"11 ??

I’m kind of new to surfing but great at skating, coordinated, and swim like a fish in the ocean. Do you think I could start on a 6’6” RNF over a Log? I don’t really like the idea of a bulky planky board I can’t turn that doesn’t really translate to short board riding. I already have the Mayhem but they say that’s for more experienced surfers since it’s 53 liters over 7’6”

Hey! Awesome review. I'm 6'1 about 165 lbs. I've been riding a 6'6 for the last couple of years in LA and want to improve getting in late on bigger steeper waves so I can have more fun at winter spots. I'm thinking with less board it should be a little less scary. Trying to decide between the two boards compared here, but the 6'0 and 5'11 versions respectively. Do you recommend one shape over the other for steeper and occasionally OH surf? Also, are they generally duckdive-able? Many thanks!

Super good video! Ive been surfing an 8 ft foamie for around a year in half and have gotten pretty good at long boarding. I have been looking for a shorter board with more maneuverability and something I can go faster on. The surf here varies from knee high to overhead on really good days. Im 6'2 188 lbs. Both the skipper and RNF are similar would I be fine on either or would one benefit me more? Definitely going to buy one or the other probably the 6'0 Skipper or the 5'11 RNF

I’m 5’7 180 lbs — beginner on log but catching waves — will RNF 6’5 be too intense to move to next level or will I be able to excel after some practice?

Awesome video legends! Can you ride the 5'5 RNF in overhead waves? How big can it handle? Thx

I am 5’9 140 and surf a 5’9 short board pretty well. Would you recommend the 5’5 or 5’11 rnf. I want to be able to catch small waves a little bit easier but I also want to be able to maneuver the board in the face of the wave.

Which size skipper should I get? I’m 5’7 120 pounds

Ok first off awesome video clear concise to the point and loved that you showier you using them, 2ndly holy shit you’re good lol I just started only have gone out 5 times on a 8ft foam board but I’ve done every other board sport, pretty good at skateboarding wakeboard and snowboarding so I picked it up pretty quickly and ready to get a smaller board to get better control for turning, im 5’10 175lbs I’m not sure if I should risk getting the 5’11 or go to the 6’5 odysea, I wish they made like a 6’2 lol but I’m sure 6’5 would be the way to go huh im still learning I get up a lot but on that 8ft foam it’s hard to turn and control it and turn really well I’m assuming getting a more aggressive board will help with this but will also challenge me to get better too any advise ?

Awesome review. I was looking forma local shop in Jacksonville in the round nose fish. But after watching this video the skipper looks a little more fun. I am 6, 200lbs and beginner, almost intermediate. Surf varies from knee high to over head. I have a few nice longer fiberglass boards, a Quiet Flight Black Marlin with 38L. Was thinking I should go after the 6’ Skipper or 5’11” rnf. Really just want something fun. Don’t mind a little work to catch waves do pretty decent on my less floaty boards. So all of this being said. In the demo part of this video you ran out and skimmed into the water with the Skipper, fell and continued riding while sitting, etc. didn’t seem like the rnf gave the same performance. Would that be a semi accurate assumption? Is the skipper a little more playful or ready to go?

Dope video! Thanks

I'm 6'2, 170. Which size skipper would be best for me? The 6 or the 6.6?

innovation for fun! 🤙🤙

I rip!

Their both fun
