As the pioneers and originators of all SUP racing, it’s safe to say that 14’ race boards are in the C4 DNA. The C4 ‘ohana choose the 14-footer as a stock class board after testing everything from 10’6”s to 17-footers. We have been through 8 or 9 generations of our V-class 14’s, because they have a longer waterline to grant ‘carry’ and ‘sustain,’ but are still short enough to fit into the complex ‘bump’ patterns encountered in rougher water. The new TGIF 14’model is based on the many thousands of miles paddled by C4’s race team all over the world.
Fins: Single 10” center box.
Styles:
1324 WHITE/BLUE
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!
