for a 8'8 it,s up there in volume

That sort of manuevor is pretty much beyond me at this stage but I suspect one could catch knee high to head high waves on it and cruise with a few bottem turns and stuff, yep I'm a bit of a noob

Have been checking post of Hobie surf series as well and that looks pretty sweet, about 2kg lighter than C4, and got some carbon mm. Not sure what JP weighs but my local windsurf shop has one I think , same shop that has C4 also has Hobie, choices, look like some test rides coming up

Just wondering if anyone has any experience riding these boards.

I am on a Fanatic Allwave 9'6" now but looking to get something a little smaller.

Just for the record the specs on the C4 I was looking at go, 8'8" long, 28.9 wide, 4.00 thick,115 lt Vol and are a quad fin. I presume they are a quality built product and the price at around $1350 sounds pretty good.

hi mate ,for a few extra dollars there are better boards on the market ,Iv'e checked the latest installment of c4's ,and i'd give them a miss ,the build quality has dropped off in recent times not sure why ,but I recently checked out the MR model and I found the deck to be really spongey ,crap fins, etc,etc.I mean if thats all you can afford, get it but hmmm maybe hold off save same extra cash, and maybe look at surftech ,jimmy lewis,even star board are value for money and all do boards around those specs
good luck and happy paddling
