From the C4 website: The 11’6″  “Standem” model is the Cadillac of our fleet. Possessing the same design features that propel the 10’0″ and the 10’6″, this board provides the SUP surfer with stability and glide unmatched by much larger SUP boards on the market. Something of a cross-over design, this board also doubles as a tandem surfboard, rescue board, or even a super light and playful tanker for the Big Bruddah.

Evaluators said:
“Easy to paddle and catch waves, but a little slow to turn”  (Intermediate Male 190 lbs.)
“Very stable, turns well for it’s size, hard for a woman to carry”  (Intermediate Female 150 lbs.)
“Stable, very easy to catch waves”  (Intermediate Male 140 lbs.)
“Predictable and stable but still advanced enough to keep it interesting, the sweet spot is small for a board this size”

Summary: Big and stable, fine for larger beginners with good balance. Larger surfers liked the performance, smaller ones considered it hard to turn. Takes some beef to make it work. Rated high on paddling, lower on surfing, middle on cruising.
