It sits in that very useful middle ground between a pure beginner board and a shortboard, making it a strong choice for progressing surfers, lighter intermediates, family use and anyone who wants a board that can handle a wide range of UK surf conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 7'6 with 51 litres of volume, the Carver gives you more paddle speed and stability than a small shortboard, but it is still compact enough to feel responsive once you are on the wave. For many surfers, that makes it a more forgiving and confidence-building option than dropping straight down to a high-performance shortboard too soon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere The SIC Maui Carver Fits In The Range\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Carver is best thought of as a progression funboard. It is not as long and cruisy as a full mini-mal or longboard, and it is not as twitchy or demanding as a shortboard. Instead, it gives you a stable platform for catching more waves, trimming down the line and starting to work on turns with more control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are moving on from a foamie or larger learner board, the Carver gives you a proper surfboard feel without making the step too intimidating. If you already surf but want something durable, easy to paddle and useful in everyday UK conditions, it is a very sensible board to have in the quiver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose The SIC Maui Carver 7'6 AT?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGreat progression shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e ideal if you want to move towards a more responsive board without losing confidence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy wave entry:\u003c\/strong\u003e the length and volume help you paddle in earlier and catch more waves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurable Ace-Tec construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e built to cope with regular use, family use and the knocks that come with learning and progressing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMore manoeuvrable than a mini-mal:\u003c\/strong\u003e short enough to turn more easily once you are up and riding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUseful in varied UK surf:\u003c\/strong\u003e a practical choice for smaller, softer waves as well as cleaner days when you want to work on technique.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight and manageable:\u003c\/strong\u003e at around 5.7kg, it is easy to carry, load and handle on the beach.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSIC Maui\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarver 7'6 AT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoard Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFunboard \/ progression surfboard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAce-Tec thermoformed construction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7'6\" \/ 228cm approx.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.3\" \/ 54cm approx.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e51 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.5lb \/ 5.7kg approx.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Rider Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 190lb \/ 85kg approx.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFin Box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFCS fin configuration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSIC Maui Carver 7'6 AT surfboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFCS fin set as supplied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: leash, wax and board bag are not listed as included unless specifically shown in the live product options.
