Height: 5’9” Weight: 12 Stone Local break: Tabletop Reef, Solana Beach, CA Favorite C4 SUP model and why: C4 9’ Semi-Custom EPS Battail- Like a loose bar of soap shooting around the shower tub! Also the C4 10’ Da’ Classic Poly Chip- Responsive, “total involvement” performance. C4 Boardworks 11’ Da Mooch- Smooth, positive and comfy like the couch in the front yard of your college home. Da Mooch is like its namesake: stylish, smart and reliable; this board can catch nearly an bump, yet once airborne in the wave it feels much shorter than it’s 11’. Da Mooch is a solid nose rider, that can carve a nearly perfect roundhouse; Boardworks front-man Phillip Rainey sums it up in one word: “Elegant!” Stance: Regular Favorite waves: Nukes (aka Moochietown), Seaside Reef, Sennen Cove, Himalayas, Castles Advice to SUP beginners: learn away from the crowd; as Dave Parmenter says: “light out for the territories…” and find your own spot. Always exhibit Aloha and generosity when in the presence of others. As far as Beach Boy Surfing advice, the best came from Todd Bradley: “…keep your eyes on the horizon” when paddling. Favorite tunes: All of it is good.

C4's man on the Mainland, Ted has been riding the reefs near Table Top Reef for years. He runs the Poly Boards division for C4-- keep a look-out for him at the Dog Patch or San Onofre on one of these stylish boards.
