From the C4 website: The 10′6″ incorporates the same design components as the 10-footer, progressive rocker, balanced outline, and flat deck and bottom to deliver the same friskiness to a longer and wider plan-shape. The extra length and width accommodates cruising and flat-water paddlers. Our most popular SUP board.

Evaluators said:
“Turns well, good board for surfing; stable when paddling; seems a little slow to get into a wave, tippy when standing still” (Intermediate Male 240 lbs.)
“I really liked this board; super stable; catches waves with ease” (Intermediate Male 140 lbs.)
“Very floaty for my weight; best carving board I’ve tried” (Advanced Male 270 lbs.)
“Stable all the time; turns on nose exceptionally well; deck pad is slippery” (Advanced Male 170 lbs.)
“Great surfer, good maneuverability” (Beginner Male 175 lbs.)
“I loved everything about this board, EVERYTHING. Would like a carrying hole” (Intermediate Female 160 lbs.)
“Feels good, immediate good impression, excellent all around board”
“Turns and maneuvers great, heavy to carry for a female” (Intermediate Female 115 lbs.)
“Punches through whitewater nicely”
“At my weight (215) it’s unstable in the chop but great in the waves”

Summary: Good marks across the board, heavier riders considered it less stable in chop. Our heavyweights liked the carving and surfing ability. Good choice for athletic beginners with big plans.
