LENGTH: 14' 0"
WIDTH: 26.25"
BOARD WEIGHT: approximately 20 lbs.
DESCRIPTION: The XP “Vortice” is a molded version of the fastest SUP paddleboard we could come up with in 4 years of races in Hawaii, and is intended to be the foundation of a ’stock’ class in the increasing number of races held in the Islands. This ultralight composite racer sports twin concaves running throughout the bottom, which increases both hull speed and stability; up top, the scooped out deck lowers the paddler’s center of gravity while boosting the mechanical advantage of a shorter paddle shaft. The bottom rocker was honed in the gale-torn Molokai Channel, the gold standard of every paddlesport race on Earth. If you’re into racing and want to ‘railroad’ open-ocean swells one after another like you scarf M & Ms, then book a test flight on the XP “Vortice.”

December 10th was a day to remember. The concept was simple: Get the top ASP pros out stand up surfing at Makaha, meanwhile give back to the community. The tricky part was the timing. The day had to be a "lay day" of the Pipe Masters. Long story short, Dec. 10 was the first ever C4 Waterman's Day.
Jodi and Liam Wilmott managed to get surfers Mick Fanning, Richie Lovett, Jake Paterson, Pancho Sullivan... to donate their time and their sponsors, Rip Curl, Billabong, Quiksilver... to donate product. Brian Keaulana arranged everything at Makaha Beach, and Todd Bradley, Dave Parmenter and the rest of the C4 Team brought out all the toys. The sun was out and the surf was a perfect 2-3 feet. At one point 25 stand up surfers were in the lineup having a blast. Check out the photos

At the end of the end of the day all the donations were dropped off at Makaha Elementary School where the children had been collecting credits for good behavior. Lynn Okamura writes,
"Aloha, friends at C4 Waterman! Mahalo again for dropping off
the donations from your surf event to Makaha Elementary School. As
predicted, the ROXY pillows "sold out" in two days! The Haleiwa
t-shirts are going fast! The kids are thrilled to be able to make
their own purchases.
"Dad
and I had the best day at Makaha with all you legends the other day. It
was awesome to meet Brian and see how good you both were out in the
water. I was taking notes and cant wait to test some of those moves you
guys were doing. Your boards were by far the best that I have ridden
and I had the best stand up surf because of this." -Luke Stedman

  An artist by the name Ichiro lives in Japan and works a full time sales job. However, painting and surfing are his passions. His art has been featured at the Van's Triple Crown of Surfing and in Japan at the 2007 Murasaki Pro. Recently he's been creating stand up surfing art for C4.
Recently, he sent us some painted paddles and we are very impressed.
Check him out at http://www.ichiro-art.com (The Japanese version of his site has more art.)

NZ Demo Days, Daniel Kereopa on C4 Team |
|
DK’S C4 WATERMAN SUP SOLUTION
Daniel
Kereopa has already established himself as one of New Zealand’s finest
surfers. In the past couple of years he has cemented his credentials as
a big-wave charger — both paddle-in and tow-in. Further, after a long
history of competitive success, he became the first to hold both the NZ
shortboard and longboard surfing titles simultaneously. It would be
easy to go on, but we can sum things up quickly. When you add up
Daniel’s surfing successes it becomes clear that he is not just a very
good surfer — he is well on the way to becoming New Zealand’s finest
and most comprehensive waterman.
