The C4 Waterman V1 series owns the stock-class race scene in Hawaii. Period. after last summer’s highly competitive race season, in which the C4 14’ Vortice XP dominated every stock-class race in the Islands, the C4 elite race team went back to the drawing board and came up with the V1: a sleeker, faster, more efficient Vortice class racer, one that is at home in flat-water races as it is in oceanic bump-riding distance hauls. The V1 glides though the water like it’s hurtling downhill on a cushion of Teflon-coated ball bearings. But the fun is not just for the flat- bellies. at almost 28” wide and 6” thick, there’s plenty of stability and buoyancy for paddlers or fun-seekers whose only six-packs come from the local grocery stores. 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!
