Designed For: The 12’6” Mongoose is designed for speed and stability in all waters, from sea to lake. Race, explore, cruise, or sprint for a great work-out——–the Mongoose is all about fast paddling fun!
The new 12’6” Mongoose is the result of a lifetime spent designing boats, surfboards, and paddleboards of all types for racing, cruising, and riding. Good design is all about compromise——there is no ‘perfect’ board or boat. With ample overall width and thickness, a wide tail and low cockpit, this efficient hybrid displacement hull is stable and secure on all axes, and glides ahead with an astonishing turn of speed. The Mongoose’s penetrating nose with its low, soft bottom reduces side-load windage and the “hunting” characteristics of the high ‘cutter’ bow. Rather than place the thickest part of the board on the nose, which compounds the leverage, on the Mongoose it’s 3’ back from the nose, raising the forward part of the cockpit coaming and reducing leverage. No more fighting excess side windage, constantly having to paddle on one side to hold a line. And the roomy cockpit and plentiful tie-downs give you lots of space and versatility to accommodate fishing gear, life vests, lunch, kids, dogs, and anything else you want to take to Mach 1. Fins: Single 10” center box.

Technology
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. We have also changed the finish on our new range of boards to a classic gloss resin surfboard-style finish—no more chipping!
