The C-Bucket is a beautifully refined mid-length single-fin pintail that blends classic 70s surf heritage with Christenson’s modern shaping precision. As the board increases in length, its rail line begins to behave like a San Diego-style big board — offering incredible trim, glide, and stability — while the narrowed pintail brings in a surprising amount of maneuverability. The result is a smooth, flowing board that loves long lines, clean carves, and effortless speed.

In Chris’s own words:
“Great for trim and glide — smooth and casual for the expert, and an awesome design for the novice to cruise on and gain style points.”
The C-Bucket is versatile across a wide range of conditions, from soft and mushy beach breaks to hollow, fast reef waves. In longer sizes it becomes a “mini-glider,” giving you that iconic Christenson glide in a more manageable, mid-length form.
