Leading Paddlesports Company Enters Joint Venture To Build New FeatherCore Composite™ Line
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Honolulu, Hawaii September 29, 2011
C4 Waterman, Inc. is excited to announce that it has completed negotiations to have all its SUP models manufactured at a new factory in Asia. Three weeks after canceling its exclusive licensing agreement with Boardworks Surf, C4 has entered into a joint venture with the factory, an innovative, molded-composite builder that will be the exclusive manufacturer of the company’s 12 radical new SUP models as well as its substantial legacy line.
C4 Waterman CEO Todd Bradley and shaper/designer Dave Parmenter have collaborated with the technicians at the new factory to develop C4′s new FeatherCore Composite™ fabrication technique, an advanced form of composite sandwich construction based on the engineering principles related to the unique core-to-skin ratio of stand-up paddleboards. The FeatherCore Composite™ process achieves lighter, friskier SUPs, possesses enhanced molecular and mechanical bonds of all the laminants/facings to the lightweight core, and delivers it all inexpensively and with ‘greener’ materials than the norm.
Calvin Tom owner of Boardfisher.com maker of stand up paddle board fishing accessories caught a nine foot Thresher Shark off the coast of Encinitas California near the popular surf spot Swami’s. It took him more than an hour to reel in the large shark and it towed him about about a mile and a half from shore.
