The 12’ UltraGlide is an all-around stand-up paddleboard designed to be stable, fast, and maneuverable. I designed these new SUP UltraGlide models as links to my very successful 11’ and 12’ Ultra Glide conventional surfboards. Both these original boards proved over the years to perform superbly in a variety of conditions as well as accommodated a broad spectrum of surfers’ skill levels. These models enjoyed some off-label use as SUPs, but had I known the SUP revolution was right around the corner I certainly would have made them wider and a little thicker! These new 11’ and 12’ UltraGlide SUP models are the result of 60+ years of experience on the surfboard design side of things, combined with years of experience designing, shaping, paddling, and riding stand-up paddleboards.

Designed For: The 12’6” Mongoose is designed for speed and stability in all waters, from sea to lake. Race, explore, cruise, or sprint for a great work-out——–the Mongoose is all about fast paddling fun! The new 12’6” Mongoose is the result of a lifetime spent designing boats, surfboards, and paddleboards of all types for racing, cruising, and riding. Good design is all about compromise——there is no ‘perfect’ board or boat. With ample overall width and thickness, a wide tail and low cockpit, this efficient hybrid displacement hull is stable and secure on all axes, and glides ahead with an astonishing turn of speed. The Mongoose’s penetrating nose with its low, soft bottom reduces side-load windage and the “hunting” characteristics of the high ‘cutter’ bow. Rather than place the thickest part of the board on the nose, which compounds the leverage, on the Mongoose it’s 3’ back from the nose, raising the forward part of the cockpit coaming and reducing leverage. No more fighting excess side windage, constantly having to paddle on one side to hold a line. And the roomy cockpit and plentiful tie-downs give you lots of space and versatility to accommodate fishing gear, life vests, lunch, kids,...

This board gets the Beginner’s Choice Aard, designed as the MVP of the rental fleet, not to mention the “two thumbs up” from board owners that lend their boards to friends. Still not satisfied? The Holoholo is available in 11’6 as well.

Designed For: Intermediate to advanced. Rider weight up to 220 lbs. Elite racing, fun-run races, coastal cruising. The TG Pro is an exact duplicate, widened by 1”, of the prototype Travis Grant paddled to victory in the 2011 Elite Battle of the Paddle race. The low, even-bottom rocker, semi-displacement hull, and wide-point set under the paddler’s stance delivers the maximum in instant acceleration for sprint races. But the TGIF Pro is stable enough to let you stop and smell the roses. Travis Grant Is Fast.

Four-time World Surfing Champion Mark Richards is not only one of the greatest surfers and shapers of all time, he is also a red-hot stand-up paddle surfer. mark really threw in everything but the kitchen sink on this one. If this world champion-pedigree SUP cornered any faster, we’d have to put a Lamborghini badge on it.

Period. after last summer’s highly competitive race season, in which the C4 14’ Vortice XP dominated every stock-class race in the Islands, the C4 elite race team went back to the drawing board and came up with the V1: a sleeker, faster, more efficient Vortice class racer, one that is at home in flat-water races as it is in oceanic bump-riding distance hauls. The V1 glides though the water like it’s hurtling downhill on a cushion of Teflon-coated ball bearings. But the fun is not just for the flat- bellies. at almost 28” wide and 6” thick, there’s plenty of stability and buoyancy for paddlers or fun-seekers whose only six-packs come from the local grocery stores.

There’s a whole lotta 12-plus racing/tourning stand-up paddleboards out there now, but most are either wobbly, elite-only race machines or boaty, sluggish cruisers. What if you want to race and cruise? The new C4 Waterman Switchblade, now 30 inches wide, is the answer. Now you can have the slick glide of a thouroughbred speed-hull whether you want to win a race or lose the crowd.
