The 12'6 Mongoose Speed... takes the best features of the Mongoose, it's low-profile, low-windage nose, low center of gravity cockpit, hybrid semi-flat-semi-displacement hull and squeezes them into a 26-inch wide body. The result is a speedy coastal cruiser perfect for surf races and occasional downwinders. Construction: C4 Waterman’s new FeatherCore Composite line of SUPs is based on the rigorous refinement of the foam sandwich/composite structures to find the construction that best suits the unique needs of the next generation of high- performance stand-up paddleboards.

Our testing has found that deck and bottom wood veneer laminates provide the lightest, strongest, least expensive ‘skin’ to complement our featherlight EPS-cored SUPs. These very thin veneer sheets are sandwiched between successive layers of fiberglass and epoxy resin and then pressure molded around the EPS core. This creates a sort of monocoque fuselage, much like an aircraft, in which the skin of the surfboard in effect becomes the stringer or stiffener.
