Description

BK Pro

Rider guidelines: Beginner, 75 to 145 lbs; intermediate up to 185 lbs; advanced up to 215 lbs.

DESIGN NOTES: The Brian Kealuana Model is the end result of a design evolution that commenced with the very first SUP ‘short board’ back in 2003. This board combines a constant-curve Hawaii rocker which is calibrated to accelerate at nose and tail in sync with the pulled-in outline. The thickness distribution tapers toward the tail to allow harder turns at higher speeds, and the wing-swallow reduces tail area under the back foot, and grants greater adhesion and torque in carving turns. If you are keen on progressive, full-tilt SUP surfing and really want to push the edge of the performance envelope, this is the board for you.

Swallowtail

Rider guidelines: Beginner, 75 to 135 lbs; intermediate up to 170 lbs; advanced up to 200 lbs.

DESIGN NOTES: This state-of-the-art ‘short’ SUP fuses a neutral rocker to a Fish-like template. The crisp edges and fuller rails keeps the C4 ‘Swish’ lubricated at high speeds, allowing immediate response in hard turns--------yet this board is buoyant and stable enough for most intermediate and advanced surfers to paddle around comfortably for hours.

DESIGN NOTES: Probably the most versatile of all the C4 designs. The performance available from this stock 10-footer belies it’s bulk: At first glance it might resemble a garden-variety ‘long board’ shape, but the rails, rocker, deck line, and flat bottom are all stripped from the short board design tree. The C4 10’0” paddles a foot longer but surfs a foot shorter. And while these nimble but stable boards are the workhorses of our demo fleet, don’t be surprised to see them in the finals of SUP competitions.

SUB Vector

The C4 SUB-Vector is a high-performance short stand-up surfboard designed to offer both radical turning radiuses and "no-fail" stability to bigger surfers of intermediate or higher ability.

Based on one of C4 shaper/designer Dave Parmenter's most successful surfboard models, the "Stubb-Vector", this new model is loaded with lickety-split design features.

With a progressive rocker, flat bottom, firm edges, angular boxy rails, and double-barrel inverted vee panels, the "C4 SUB-Vector" delivers sports-car-like speed and snappy handling characteristics. It's lightly concaved deck carries out to a crisp, soaring deckline, providing the maximum of usable deck width and, thus, providing increased stability; the concaved deck blends at the tail into innovative new foot wells, which lower the center of gravity and grant the rider's back foot more leverage and grip in radical turns.

Chock-full of every speed-gathering ingredient short of jet boosters, the C4 SUB-Vector is without a doubt the most finely-tuned and advanced short SUB on the market.

DESIGN NOTES: The 10’6” incorporates the same design components as the 10-footer--------progressive rocker, balanced outline, and flat deck and bottom-------to deliver the same friskiness to a longer and wider plan-shape. The extra length and width accommodates cruising and flat-water paddlers, while its hot rod components satisfy even the most advanced SUP surfer. Our most popular SUP board.

9'0" Batwing

Rider guidelines: Beginner, 75 to 125 pounds; intermediate up to 150 lbs; advanced up to 190 lbs.

DESIGN NOTES: While this smaller and more manageable SUP was designed for lighter surfers like kids and girls, it features contemporary shortboard components that make it a front-line preference of the C4 surf team when they want a board for high performance surfing and/or competition. Under the command of advanced riders this thin, light, progressive-rocker ’ SUP ’shortboard refuses to take ‘no’ for an answer.
