The Catch Surf 54 Special (4’6") is a board we’ve had a blast riding on steep, fast river waves. It has surprisingly good control and great durability. Its short length makes it incredibly maneuverable for on steeper waves or ones with a close drop. The pint size build of this board also makes it super easy for quick and responsive turns. Additionally with a tri-fin set up, fin options are versatile. We’ve been pleasantly surprised by how tough the soft-top construction is—it handles bumps and knocks against concrete walls and rocks without any real issues. For surfers who want to progress their spins and carves, we’ve found the 54 Special delivers a forgiving yet high-energy ride that really shines on technical, performance-driven waves.
