Product overview
The OP3 is an update to Chris Christenson’s OP1, adding a spicy swallow tail to make the board a bit looser and more versatile. The release of the swallow tail provides a fishier feel, making this board a bit more fun when the waves get weaker and skatier. If the conditions are a bit soft but you still want to shred hard, the OP3 is a great option.

Key features
-
Swallow tail: The swallow tail provides a looser and more versatile feel than the OP1's round tail. This makes the board more fun to surf in weaker and skatier waves
- FCS fin system: The FCS fin system is the most popular fin system in the world. It is easy to use and maintain, and it provides a wide range of fin options to customize the board's performance.
- Waist- to head-high waves: The OP3 is designed for waist- to head-high waves. This makes it a good choice for surfers of all levels who want a board that can perform in a variety of conditions.

- Good for all levels: The OP3 is a good choice for surfers of all levels who want a board that can perform in a variety of conditions. The swallow tail makes it a bit more forgiving for beginners, while the FCS fin system gives experienced surfers the ability to fine-tune the board's performance.
