Versatility in a surfboard can make or break a surf session, and the Odysea Stump is packed full of the stuff. This adaptable shred stick goes good in all types of waves and conditions, whether it’s a sandfilled shorebreak, lumpy overhead peaks or glassy perfection. Catch Surf have really created something special in the Stump, which takes it name from being a scaled down version of their longboard, the Odysea Log. But what makes the Stump so special I hear you ask?

Well, they’ve spent a few years refining the shape and the materials they use, tweaking the design with input from team riders like Jamie O’Brien and Chippa Wilson. The latest model released this year is the result of all this research and development, making it the best Odysea Stump ever available.
You don’t have to take our word for it either, just watch how shreddable the Odysea Stump really is. Here we have Tyler Stanaland opting to take his Odysea Stump out in a wind blown El Niño swell. See many other people out? No you don’t, probably because most people took one look at the waves and said ‘Nah’. But not Tyler, because he knew he had an Odysea Stump to ride…
As you can see, Tyler is pulling off full rotation airs and totally laying down his rail, even tucking himself into a few cover ups… What, don’t think you can get fully barrelled on one of these ‘learner surfboards’? Wrong! Blair Conklin blows that myth completely out of the water by committing to some hollow green caverns and emerging victorious at his favourite SoCal surf spot. This guy sure is a magician in the shorebreak, perhaps those skimboarding skills are paying off after all…
It should come as no surprise to you that the Odysea Stump is just as much at home in small summer waves as chunky winter swells. That’s what foamie surfboards were made for right? Beginners trying to surf small whitewash waves. You just tell that to Conklin, who once again pushed the boundaries of what insane trickery can be performed on the Odysea Stump. Here he is shredding at his local beach break on a small wave day.
Think you would be having that much fun in those waves on your regular shortboard? Maybe, maybe not, but what is for sure is that you’d probably be taking it to the ding repair shop afterwards. That is where one of the Odysea Stump’s biggest strengths is, the fact it can take so much punishment. You don’t have to worry about slamming it into the sand or getting caught under the lip because these boards are tough as nails! Still think you need a whole bunch of different boards for different days, waves, and breaks? Take your Odysea Stump with you and you’ll be covered for pretty much anything.
