what about soft quick waves?It can handle semi hollow waves just fine. Just not throaty more critical type barrels.
I’d rather have my tkf or big twin in that scenario. the nautilus rocker negates the flat face utility.what about soft quick waves?
There's as much fish in that board as there is crab in a crab stick!7'2" Modern Fish Thruster Deep 6 ChannelView attachment 118197View attachment 118198
had an osprey. 7-0 x 21 x 2 3/4. quad. on paper, should have been the jam as a norcal daily step up.Just my two cents, I didn't really enjoy the Nautilus so much. Ended up selling mine. The Christenson Osprey looks pretty cool though, and I'm definitely considering a Moonstone at some point.
Interesting... I've been mulling over a custom Osprey but maybe it's not what I'm after. I'm not familiar with Frye K, does invoking his name imply a certain design style? The tri plane hull?had an osprey. 7-0 x 21 x 2 3/4. quad. on paper, should have been the jam as a norcal daily step up.
gave it a solid chance. but no. basically its a frye k model. think san diego speed egg. tri plane hull bottom. down rails tip to tail
wide thick nose. carried too much foam forward to function as a proper step up. tracky as a quad. had its moments, just not enough of them
narrow the nose lift the forward rail and set up as tri and youd be on to something. like a different board.
google "skip frye k model". lots of info out there. basically his winter speed egg for san diego reefsInteresting... I've been mulling over a custom Osprey but maybe it's not what I'm after. I'm not familiar with Frye K, does invoking his name imply a certain design style? The tri plane hull?
I'm certainly not in the same league as you guys for skill set or wave quality but for here, I find the nautilus to be a good board. Mine is 7'0, i'm 210 + up to a 5/4 hooded wetsuit. Our waves tend to be softer. never ridden this in obx but think it would do well. As you see below, mine is set up as a thruster, i tend to like it in anything waist high to OH +. Good thread through, learning a lot. I think often, the nautilus may not be the best board for the conditions, but it is rarely the wrong board. If I have to take one board to the beach, I'm probably taking this is there is any chance of chest + surf.had an osprey. 7-0 x 21 x 2 3/4. quad. on paper, should have been the jam as a norcal daily step up.
