Where to buy
The OSS1 is out of production. It turns up on the second-hand market; there is no new-boat channel for it.
Maker closed Ocean (OSS) is no longer trading. Ocean Surfski was renamed Ozean about eighteen months in and then wound up. No maker site resolves and no dealer lists the range.
Nobody sells Ocean (OSS) new. The second-hand market is the only channel.
Estimated AU carbon new price; confirm with dealer.
