The C-Bucket is described by Chris Christenson as having a "complex bottom contour", combining subtle concave and belly contours. These subtleties create a board that likes to be ridden toward the middle, and doesn't need aggressive movements to have maneuvers happen. The C-Bucket features a low rocker that makes it an easy paddler, but will require an earlier entry in larger waves. This model lends itself to large drawn out turns and has plenty of weight, due to the Volan glass and deck patches that create an extra strong, durable board.
