Heres its page on catchsurf http://www.catchsurf.com/surfboards/product_info.php?cName=surfboards-the-one&products_id=1 and heres a video of it being used by billy bryan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bg-0ibLZrgg Hey just seeing if anyone has this board or any opinions on how you will think it will actually ride for stand up.. Im thinking bout buying it with my next paycheck so I could actually surf when the lifeguards are up cause it is soft and finless (think in oc theyll let it go).
it doesn't look like a good bodyboard, but it looks real fun for surfing when lifeguards are on duty.
have to give liscense to them to try it and it is not possible to stand up and make anything in bethany lately
not sure about that board but the Toobs Herlihy is sick for stand up and skimming, not to mention the triple stringer is strong as hell
The town of OCMD has/had a ordinance that bodyboards must not exceed 42 inches. Never seen them enforce the rule as far as measuring a "typical" bodyboard, but something along the lines ot "the one" may draw some attention if it doesn't meet the requirements. This is a quote from the town of OCMD site. I remember reading it in the Coastal Dispatch years ago. "Last Saturday Sgt. Fisher gave some advice about body boards and measured one to make sure it met the ordinance required. Body Boards must not exceed 42 inches according to city ordinance." This is the link I pulled it from. I saved the link because I never realized it was not to exceed 42" & I have never seen a guard measure a BB. http://www.town.ocean-city.md.us/ocbp/staff/EdFIsher_SafetyTalk.htm
Naaa. Not really interested in a standup specific board. I have seen people try it though and it looks alright. I would say demo it but as you and i both know...thats not possible in b-town right now.
I guess if you want to surf around and crash into alot of summer tourists then this is your best option. Otherwise, I don't see the point. I guess its relatively inexpensive <$300 and might be a nice beginner surfing option for a 12-13 year old to cut their teeth on. From a marketing standpoint it makes sense, because its alot less intimidating to handle for someone who never surfed to buy this and try to see what they can do on it. I see alot of wealthy teen-age and pre-teen boys (and girls) making their rich daddies pick one up on a summer vacati and ride it a few times and then have it sit in their garage for decades.
You know what, if these "The One" boards might actually do really well as rentals if the resort beaches allow them. Charge $15-20 a day and its paid off in about 3 weeks. If its durability can hold up for a whole summer of abuse, you've got alot of profit as a rental operation, and all of your kids, fat balding men etc. can easily fork out $20 to try to stand up on the thing and pretend to be a surfer for one day of their life.
