Why Choose the 36" Odysea Classic?
The 36-inch model is the smallest size in the Classic range, making it easier for smaller riders to handle both in and out of the water. Choosing a properly sized bodyboard helps the rider control the rails, kick efficiently, and position their body correctly on the deck.
How Do You Choose the Right Bodyboard Size?
Catch Surf recommends choosing a bodyboard that reaches approximately belly-button height when the board is standing vertically. This provides a useful starting point when deciding between the different Odysea Classic sizes.
