The fabled OP Pro winning board, this is Tom Curren's Channel Islands Red Beauty Surfboard Review. A rare shape, unique in this day and age, the Red Beauty is not a groveler but can still be surfed in your average, everyday waves.
Featuring a vee bottom from tip to tail for quick rail to rail transitions, an effective edge running the length of the rail and a very pronounced hip, as Craig explains, this is a unique design for the board connoisseur looking for something different.

Great review. Finally someone who pointed out the good and bad aspects of the board instead of saying it's great blah, blah, blah...Showing videos of you riding it is a plus.

I was lucky to surf an original red beauty with OP laminate not sure if it was Tom's but in crumbly blown out 1-2' beach break it killed! Had softer rails than the one you are reviewing and it was poly, One of the best boards i ever surfed

Hi Craig, how does this one compare to the Rusty Blade? Which do you prefer?

I had a guy tell me this would not be good for smaller waves like Corpus Christi? Im new to surfing so not sure what to believe yet, but was just wondering how it would do with small waves,, also what would be a good size for a guy like me i weigh 165lbs. he was telling me to get a pod mod. 6'0 with large fins but i hear large fins are for people who weigh 180lbs or more, and that on a pod mod i should ride 3-6 inches shorter then me and im 5'11. really liked the review and would love some feedback and knowledge. thanks! also if i got a red beauty what size should i get?

Hey Reza, when it's small, Craig usually surfs without a leash. I don't do it often - I end up chasing my board after most waves! - but better surfers seem to manage just fine as they're better at controlling how and when they pop off a wave

Hey can you please read my comment? Would love some feedback

Good, insightful review, Craig. And, you're surfing good on that board, amigo. Here's to ditching the leash when conditions & safety allow. I almost always surf better without one.

looks similar to my Roberts "Modern 80s"...expect mine has deep single concave throughout. Same hippy tail though. The hips do something to make the board turn very flicky. Tried it with upright fins and it was almost too much pivot...prefers raked fins to draw bigger arcs. Agree that this type shape doesn't grovel well.

Does any one know the amount of liters on the stock 6'4"?

Just came across this great review thanks so much great review. I get the impression it's more of a specialty board and not a one board quiver for SoCal (under head high)?

@Comparesurfboards 8 жыл бұрын

+dexterpolyester Hey there! Yes, it is a bit of a specialty board for the connoisseur but I know a few people who love theirs and Craig really enjoyed riding it. But you're right, probably not the best option for a one board quiver in SoCal (or anywhere)

Des.Farrell Interesting comparison Des - the plan shape does look a lot like a Lost Driver! Although the pronounced hip, vee bottom and long effective edge make the design pretty unique

With all due respect, I am not sure you have the competency level required to talk aboard surfboard performance...Need some serious time focusing on some fundamentals....
