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.
I weigh about 80kg, my windsurf board is 118lt and floats me easily, especially with no rig, I actually tried to SUP it, but of coarse did not paddle very well, but I could get up and paddle along, it floated me but was really unstable ., so I am guessing with the correct design the couple of litres less wouldn't mater to much, I guess to ride some sort of SUP with same volume, or the actual C4, stil I would like to hear from anyone surfing it.
Here's a pic of a mate riding one. This is the only one I have and not advertising at all as I don't have c4 anymore.
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 
Check the JP Aus 8 8 surf wide body. Super board. Depending on ability the 8 2 is also lots of fun. Demo! Try them before you buy them. Best part of SUP. Check what works for you
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
Ive been riding one for about 6 months now, I weigh about 86kg's and it floats me fine. Its a great all-round sup and have surfed it up to 6ft+ with the quad set up. Check out our web site www.pacificstanduppaddle.com.au for the full C4 Waterman range available in Oz. If your keen I might be able to organise a demo over you way.
and happy paddling
