Shaper Notes:

Elite racing, fun-run races, coastal cruising. The 12-6 Pro Racer 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 12-6 Pro is stable enough to let you stop and smell the roses.
Fins: Single 10” center box.

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!
