Here’s another video of Dave Parmenter, this time with the new C4 Waterman 11′ Da Mooch SUP board. This 11′ has a lovely, very relaxed, neutral long board rocker. It’s something you can stand on the nose all day on and still let you make big swooping left or right turns. It’s a great San […]

I’ve been using the prototype XPR racing stand up paddle for the past few months but had to keep it hush hush until now. I first took it out in a great south shore swell at Publics and fell in love with it. It felt like I got 10 to 20% more power than the […]
