The 11'6" all-around is a fun, versatile design that can take you from entry-level flat water paddling to playing in the surf. Stability is the key, so this board is shaped with an ample width of 30" with the nose and tail fairly wide. This creates a straight outline in the center section, allowing the board track well in a straight line. Decreased rocker (the amount the nose of the board curves up) also helps stability, tracking, and speeds by maintaining a longer waterline, and pushing less water. The epoxy AST construction makes for a light stiff board that is extremely durable.
