Hi all any one got a Coreban 11'6" cruiser?
What do they go like in little waves below 1 meter or less hardly breaking type waves. The type of wave you would normally watch go by our summer wave. I have seen the Coreban you tube clip 11'6" in 1m to1.5m waves.
I haven't tried one but to me they look like they would be an ideal beginner board for the bigger person and something you cold hang onto as an all rounder if you decided to get a more performance oriented board down the track. Similar to the Naish 11'6 I would think.
Hi all, Yesterday I tried an 11'6" Coreban cruiser near the causway at Garden Is WA, along with a Starboard 11'2" IMO you need to try them for yourselves. The conditions were occasional 1.5 to 2.5 feet rounded waves seldom braking, 3 clowns on Jet Skis trying to jump the same waves added to chop conditions I never fell off from there wake waves! off shore wind gusting, time about 11am to 1.30 pm ( kiting wind on the other side I was in the lee side no kiting gear) IMO The ST 11.2 was slightly little more stable but Coreban 11.6 had a lot more glide and could ride these little waves a lot further than ST 11.2 it was a good test 2.5 hrs swapping boards many times. They both turned on the waves ok . I have no ascociation with either brand. I own a Naish Mana 10' which IMO i would have not have caught many if any of these waves on my board it lacks the glide needed to take off in these little rounded waves, but performs really well in 3 feet plus waves with wavelips forming to over head height waves which I was riding today at Nannarup in Albany. 
IMO thumbs up for the Coreban 11.6 I think i will buy a Woody Version. 
Down side to Coreban was the Bag material (if they were similar Coreban would be complete package) not as good as Naish or Flying Object Bags.
Thanks for that review. I haven't read anything on the Coreban Cruiser so found that very interesting.

Here's the Vid by Ivan on the Coreban. I can't seem to cut and past so just copied the link. I really like the look of this board with some rocker in the nose and sharp rails at the rear.
What was the problem with the bag Col303?
Thanks
The only problem with the bag is the material used is same as most cheaper surf board bags that silver coloured stuff. With the extra weight of SUP boards a stronger canvas exterior material would last longer, like Naish bags & Flying Object bags. Corebans bag will last if you are carefull and there is lots of grass areas to pack or unpack your board on. Most places I go are not so soft eg. bitumen car parks. Stick or scrub may tear the material. I am about to order a Coreban Woody version 11'6" with their bag, am sure it will be used plenty.
