Christenson Ocean Pro Series OP1 Review + Futures Fins AM2 Review - The Surfboard Guide

Welcome to our full review of the OP1 from Christenson surfboards which is his small wave performance shape out of the Ocean Pro OP series.

This was a custom that I got to add a tad more volume to get to 33L and felt really good in the water.

The OP1 is a high performance groveler for waist to head high surf. The plan shape is wide with fuller rails and lower rockers to allow the board to paddle well, and plain in softer surf.
The bottom contour is a single to double concave with vee thru the back of the tail to allow for quick direction changes and tighter turn radius’ while maintaining its drive thru the turn.
The recommended length is 2-4” shorter than your height.

I checked out a few fins in the OP1, but felt at home with the AM2, but in saying that, keep an eye out for the Christenson fins coming out shortly from Futures

The AM2 Honeycomb designed by legendary shaper Al Merrick of Channel Islands Surfboards, is a large size thruster in the Rake template category. Featuring a balanced flex pattern, this fin's wider base provides increased drive through turns, making it ideal for high performance surfing.
The center fin is smaller than the side fins for increased maneuverability.
