Brand: C4 Waterman
Model: Slingblade 9-9
Size: 9'9"
Year: 2009
Manufacture's Website: http://www.c4waterman.com/

Thinner and flatter than the C4 10-foot Classic, its soft 70/30 rails, balanced plan shape, even-tempered rocker and torque hungry vee panels make this new model one of the most nimble and versatile of the entire C4 quiver. The C4 Slingblade's classic longboard shape is turbocharged with the same potent flats and edges you see on the pro's board - letting you snap into a tight trim and stretch for five but also letting you slam it into high gear to whack the lip.

This is a good all around aboard, but suits best the intermediate and advanced riders. It's good all around in that it works like a charm noseriding while at the same time handling turns pretty well. But given the "torque hungry vee panels" on the bottom, it's important to beware that this board's good combination of maneuverability and noseride-ability comes at the cost of being tippier than other boards with a flatter bottom. But having said that, it does feature a good combination of maneuverability and noseride-ability.
