Every year the new sport of SUP expands and attracts new enthusiasts. Now even teh keiki, or kids, are frothing for their own scaled-down versions of C4′s innovative stand-up surfboards. The C4 Grom is the perfect addition to your family’s SUP board quiver. Fins: Quad +1; FCS side boxes, 10” center box.

Construction

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!
