Kualoa Camp Out
Mike,
C-4 made a good showing at our annual New years Camp out.  And my newest one (Carri's board, actually) wasn't even in the picture.
I hope you and your family had a great Christmas and New Years.  -John Morgan

Battle of the Paddle Thanks

Aloha

I just want to give a huge Thanks out to Boarworks and the whole team Phil, Mike and Christa who is good friends with a C4 team member Tiare for everything at Battle of the Paddle in Doheny State Park, CA.  I show up from FL with no equipment and thanks to the team I end up competing in the Open Race and win for my age group (30-39). I don't know if I was only one in group but I rode the 11'6" C4 Waterman board and paddled my life out against the wind.  Looking forward to purchasing a Waterman for here at home. I know tons of people who want to paddle.  Battle of the Paddle was a great experience and I plan on continuing to Paddle and share here at home with fellow surfers.  Thanks again to C4 Waterman!!!!

 It's been perfect out here for SUP with small glassy waves!!!! I love the board.  It's pretty amazing how well it rides for being a 10'0.- Sarah Ackerman

Hi Todd,
I had a great summer training on my Uli board. I took it down rapids on rivers which really tested my balance. I also had it out on the lake in Yellowstone and would explore areas on my board that I'd never seen. Thank you once again for supporting skiers who also love water. It's an amazing way to cross train. Enjoy the pictures.

Yeah Todd!

I just went down to Boardworks on Friday and picked up a 10' for myself. This last weekend were slammed with groms and were short a board. Plus, I felt stupid not being on one of your boards after your generosity with the paddles you flowed us, and wanted to get you a photo.

I am so stoked on the 10' !  I went from an 11'11" Sean Ordenez ( I still love it) but as soon as I jumped on my new C4, before even one stroke, I knew it was the one for me. It absolutely paddles as if it was longer, and very stable. Most of the time while coaching (surfing or SUP) I'm just standing. Not to badmouth Surftech, but I tried my girls 11' R.H. and while mine being a foot shorter there is NO COMPARISON! Your boards are significantly lighter and turn on a dime. Even a six year old could tell the difference.

My board is really amazing and I cannot wait to take it in the surf.


Here is a photo of Mike Downey and myself with one of my favorite families, the Kamgars.

For the last two weeks since receiving my C4 paddle my stroke has got more efficient!! I`ve a cleaner draw on both rails. I`ve tried 5 different paddles over the last 18 months and often train in the bay with my partner Jericho Poppler ( 1970 U.S. Women's Champion who co-founded the women's international Surfing Association, then co-directed the first Women's International Professional surfing Championships  as well as developing the Women's Professional Surfing Coalition) . My lap times over repeated distances have dropped continuously since using your paddles! I am 51 and I cross train between swells and days of unfavorable winds.It really makes a huge difference when the swell is on! We are going between 17-25 miles on the flat water a week. My shoulders and torso strength are not compromised as the blade seems to pull the board to optimal speed-smoothly. On our last paddle my partner noticed how much more my glide l possessed on a open ocean work-out. We would love to try anything new!! This young sport will only progress with feedback from legends of the sport of surfing! Thank you and keep up the great work Todd!  Mike Downey

glenn_barroncini_250.jpg Todd,
  I wanted to say thanks for taking time to call me about my broken paddle situation. I'm glad you wanted to see if and what my paddle techniques are and what type of SUP'ing I doing. I have been doing SUP for about little under a year, surfing for over 25 years. I have a swimmers background and swam for NC State. I have a strong upper body and long arms , I'm 5-10'' -- 190 lbs. and a stocky stature.I usually take long paddle strokes and in flat water paddles I get in to a steady paddle stroke then try to do some paddle sprintsform a small burn. When I surf  on a wave I may rush the stroke to paddle past a breaking wave section. I know when paddleing for a wave I di put alot of tourqueand stresson the paddle and I do feel I have good technique. I have watched all your you tube vids and have the  ''SUP Surfing Hawaiian Style'' DVD   How To Vol 1 .  I feel I'm pretty well rounded in the sport of SUP.
        I know your paddles are great, strong and state of the art with  no issues with the product. I'm aware that during the manufacturing process their could be flaws that could make it to the market place.. The law of %'ages.  I'm all over the C4 mission statement and love the fact that you and your company has brought the ''Waterman'' out of me
         Now I'm so hooked and spreading the stoke to all. I give free lessons and demos to all who want to learn.. I started a website here to SUP. I devote alot of free time  to the Boys and Girls Club here in the Island taking them out on Stand Up, surfing and kayaking and even helping out with their school work.Its a priceless feeling I get in return. Below  is the link of an article in our newspaper about me and SUP.
     Thanks for your insite and bringing the waterman out in me. You have created a great company and surrounded youself with a bunch of great people and stand by your great products. Your customer service is 2nd to none. For that alone I will continue use your company and products. That say's alot about a company. That is becoming rare in this world  today.
