'84
Price: Clear $700
Spray
$735
BIO: Remember when a young Australian
nicknamed “Occy” exploded into the 1985 Op Pro and stole the show from
American sensation Tom Curren? We hope so, but if you don’t, remember
this: the ’84 is the board that took Occy to the top.
SPECS: Low entry rocker and steep, angular
rails with a flat bottom to slight vee off the tail. Its flat deck and
beak-nose make this beauty straight out of the ‘80’s.
WAVE POTENTIAL: Occy killed it on this model
in anything knee-to-overhead and so should you.
REALITY CHECK: It wouldn’t be right not to
say Huntington Beach—so think there and add some size and reef and
you’ve got the ‘84’s range.
GREEN OR GURU? Both. Experienced surfers will
enjoy the retro feel of this design because it is fast, skatey and is
ready for some rail-to-rail power surfing. Novices will like the 84’s
flat deck and stable feel.
CONFIDENCE BOOST: Easy now—you’re not
quite on your way to starting riots at the Op Pro and becoming a teen
idol. But, what the hell, the ’84 may get you on your way. (Probably
not).
