Oahu, Hawaii – Stand Up Paddle Retail Stores
The pioneers of the stand up paddle surf movement is C4 Waterman. More than highly innovative products, the founders and owners of C4 Waterman, Hawaii-based manufacturers of stand up paddle surfing equipment, have taken to fore the marketing of the waterman lifestyle. Todd Bradley, Brian Keaulana, and Mike Fox base their business philosophy on the four core disciplines of a waterman – balance, endurance, strength, and tradition – leading to their C4 brand.
C4 Waterman offers a full line of stand up paddles, boards and accessories. C4’s equipment have the privelage of being designed with the stand up paddle pedigree – professional surfers, world class shaper and the best waves in the world as a testing ground. And beyond their mission of advocating the waterman way of life, the C4 owners have grounded a foundation that they hope would protract their already socially veered mindset.
Say thanks to Todd Bradley over at C4 Waterman for offering our friends at StandUpPaddleSurf.net a FREE Stand Up Paddle Bag with any paddle order. Just call Kellie at C4 Waterman at 808-739-2837 and tell her that Evan at StandUpPaddleSurf.net sent you and place your order. It’s that easy.

For more than three decades, Tropical Blends Surf has been in the lead in producing Hawaii’s top-notch surf and stand up paddle boards and equipment. One of the first stores in the country to offer stand up paddle surf boards and equipment, Tropical Blends also manufactures a rock solid line of stand up paddle boards and paddles.
Tropical Blends Surf first opened its doors in September of 1978 in Honolulu. The company offers a return to the classic local surf shop, consistently stocking 80-100 high quality surf and stand up paddle surf boards. Tropical Blends produces the finest assortment of custom and production boards in Hawaii. Patrons won’t find much in the way of lifestyle items as the company is really about the boards, but there’s always something for everyone.
Tropical Blends offers demos and rentals for the boards listed in the ‘Standups’ section of their website at www.tropicalblendsurf.com. Try before you buy at Tropical Blends by renting a demo board. Contact store for details.

Sandwich Island Composites is a subsidiary of Ding Kings Fiberglass Works Inc. in Maui, Hawaii.
We manufacture the Eclipse one-man outrigger canoe, the Malana four-man outrigger, the KuNalu and the F-16 point to point stand up paddleboard. This winter we added the SRX4, a progressive stand up paddleboard.
We shape our own plugs and build our own molds. Our products are thoroughly tested on Maui’s North Shore. Performance and strength are our top priorities. We are price competitive. Made with minimal waste. Let’s face it, the surfboard industry is not exactly green, but we do our utmost best to waste as little as possible.
All boards are designed, tested and manufactured in Maui, Hawaii by people who live and play here.
From initial concept and design, to the mold building and final product, – is a pretty small window (compared to boards designed and built abroad). What that means is you are getting the most updated concepts in design, not an idea that was conceived a year ago.
