HONOLULU (May 12, 2008) — Mike Fox, one of the founders of Hawaii’s C4 Waterman, has announced the acquisition of Boardworks, a global surfboard distribution company located in Oceanside, California.
The business will remain in Oceanside and will be operated by Bob Rief. Rief’s career has included high-ranking positions with companies such as Nike, Reef, Sanuk, and C4 Waterman, making him a natural selection for the position. Phillip Rainey, Gretchen Gamble, and Robby Ellingson will remain with Boardworks in their current capacities.

I got my hands on 2 DaKine paddle bags for stand up paddles. I’m glad DaKine came out with a padded travel bag because it was pretty hard to find a travel bag that offered enough protection to go through the airline baggage process for my Maui trip to Pono Bill’s board test.

I finally got a chance to ride the C4 Waterman Holoholo. This is a stand up board that I saw on the floor months ago at the C4 HQ. The real board is very slick looking. Here’s what my initial impression is.

I first got a chance to ride the Surftech Takayama 10’7” stand up board in Maui at Pono Bill’s board test. I think we were among the first people to ride it in the world which was nice. The first day I only had about 20 minutes on it in knee high surf so I couldn’t tell if it was good or not. It paddled fine and I did notice that from the nose I could control it on the wave better than I thought.
