catch surf's "the one"

[gnargnar]

i've been lookin' around for a new board for christmas (yes, i know it a long time from now) and i found catch surf's "the one". i was wondering if anyone has ever tried one or owns one and what they think about it. lemme know.

[chrisd]

everyone seems to agree that they are pretty mcuh not good at anything.

[gnargnar]

thanks. any other suggestions for a board?

[gnargnar]

im lookin for an all around fun board that i can take out no matter what the waves are like... and fairly cheap. i already have the al merrick biscuit.

The one is cool, but for cheaper you can have the Herlihy by Toobs :p

[Boss]

the beater.
super skinny standup board. its real sick looking. i think like 150.

why buy a herlihy when you can do standup on pretty much any high quality bodyboard

First off the One is about 20-30 bucks cheaper that Herlihy by TOOBS.

And i have own The One for about a year. SOOO DISAPPOINTED
its awful for bodyboarding, skimming, and stand up surfing it, baiscally because it cannot hold a rail what so ever.

The Beater is looking sick, and I wish i waited around and got that instead. anyone let me know if they use one.

not to keen on the soft board idea, the catch surf beater looks like it might be fun in the videos on their site plus you can basically just smash it into the sand all day long they look really really slow though

I dont think the one is that great but The Beater looks like something worth the price. Its only $150 and looks pretty good for stand-up boogying. It looks more surf than it does skim/boogy so maybe thats the thing to go with. I have a Herlihy and its nice I like it a lot but its mainly a bodyboard that you can skim with. The standup aspect is good too but nothing amazing, and its roughly $270-$300. The reason I bought it was mainly because Colin Herlihy is from my hometown of Bethany Beach so I thought Id support the cause. They are indestructable though its crazy, 3 stringers has lasted me skimming and boogying shorebreak for 3 years now.

guarantee you that all of us that have commented on this post have at least one surf board. i obviously live in monmouth, and i just want a new want a board i can throw in the car and go to the beach and screw around with no matter what the wave height.

My buddy has the one the medium sized one. . .its alright the surfing is weird skimming kinda sucks but is fun with a bungee and the spongeing is yeah dece. and on top of all that the nose started like peeling off so definitely not worth the money in my mind

exactly, waves aren't always surfable, therefore, a good booger is always good to have in summer

Any stiff bodyboard is good. Herlihys arent good for standup. I find a normal crescent 2 stringer with channels to hold better at standup.

I tried that board and found it really hard to keep the rail connected to the wave face. I have a 4'2"x21x2.5 One Ninety Five Surfskate and it does everything i wanted the catch surf to do.It turns less than perfect conditions into a skatepark. It punts, pop-shuvs, and it holds a rail!
