Catch Surf | Odysea - Fun & Stylish Foam Surfboards

Catch Surf Odysea: The Fun and Quirky Spirit of Surfing

The story of Catch Surf begins in 2007 in Laguna Beach, California. Its founder, George Arzente, then in real estate in New York, decided to change his life to dedicate himself to his passion: surfing. Permanently settled on the West Coast, he founded Catch Surf with a clear idea: to create high-end, high-performance, and accessible foam surfboards, dubbed Softops or Foamies. Today based in San Clemente, the brand has become a global reference, both for its boards and its clothing collections.

With its unique and quirky style, inspired by 80s fashion, its colorful and neon designs, Catch Surf has managed to establish a strong identity. Fun, retro, and trendy, the brand's universe attracts both beginner surfers and experienced riders looking for a different experience.

Why choose a Catch Surf surfboard?

Unlike classic resin boards, Catch Surf softboards are designed to offer more safety and solidity. Their foam construction absorbs shocks better, making them ideal for learning, but also for experienced surfers who want a fun, versatile, and hassle-free board. They often cost less than a traditional board, are more resistant to minor accidents, while retaining real performance potential.

For surf schools, children, or adults discovering the discipline, they are an excellent alternative to rigid boards. If you're starting out, they fit perfectly into our selection of beginner surfboards.

The Catch Surf range: Beater, Odysea and more

Catch Surf's strength lies in offering a wide range adapted to all profiles. You'll find short boards like the famous Catch Surf Beater board, but also long and stable models such as the Odysea Log. Whether you're looking for maneuverability, fun, or stability, there's definitely a Catch Surf made for you.

The Beater Board: the brand's icon

The Catch Surf Beater is undoubtedly the most iconic model. Compact and versatile, it can be used as a surfboard, bodyboard, or skimboard. Available in 4’8 and 5’4, it's perfect for shorebreak and small waves. Its Beater Twin Fin version offers a fast and fun ride, while the Jamie O’Brien Pro Model has become a must-have. Original collaborations like the Beater Lost add even more personality to the range.

The Odysea range: the perfect balance

A true sub-brand within Catch Surf, Odysea is a global reference for softboards. These boards are designed to combine stability, accessibility, and surfing pleasure. Available in various sizes and shapes, they are suitable for both beginner surfers and experienced riders.

Odysea Log : modern and accessible shape, perfect in 7’, 8’ or 9’ for fluid glide and stability.
Odysea Stump : half the length of a Log, twice the fun, designed for more radical maneuvers.
Odysea Skipper Fish : retro twin-fin model, ideal for small to medium waves.
Odysea Pro Models : developed with Jamie O’Brien, Taj Burrow, and other pros, these boards combine performance and fun.

Boards adapted to all practices

Catch Surf stands out for its rare versatility: its boards work in all conditions, for all ages and levels. Whether you are a child, an adult, an occasional surfer, or an experienced rider, you will find a suitable model. Their robustness and paddling comfort make them ideal boards to complete a quiver or for daily use.

They also fit into our entire range of softboards, to meet the needs of every type of surfer and every style of waves.

An exceptional team of riders

Catch Surf did not just appeal to the general public: the brand also sponsors international surfers. Among them, Taj Burrow, a former World Tour pro, and Jamie O’Brien, a key figure in free surfing. These collaborations give rise to iconic pro models like the Odysea Skipper or the Beater JOB, tested and validated in the most demanding waves.
