The  17 foot redwood olo surfboard at the Main  Beach, Mount Maunganui.. . . the 17 is a remarkably  agile board for  its size. Enormous power is contained in ocean waves, even in  the gentle swells shown here. The 17 foot olo board is able to tap into more of  that power, which gives the rider more drive, speed, and gliding momentum.


The feeling is akin to riding a larger wave, as the rider uses greater strength and has a greater driving force. 


Thus the superior  length and weight of the olo board completely transforms small wave riding  into another vastly satisfying plane of experience.
