Okay worth mentioning, I was thinking about how shockingly light the C4 feel in-hand. I had a C3, the shape and I didn't click, but there was definitely some dampening with the cork. So maybe that's off base on my part. I've never ridden one but I just can't picture something that light not being prone to it in surf above a certain grunt/texture.Interesting, thanks for the feedback. I was under the impression that the cork layer in the C4 construction provided a dampeninig effect but have never ridden one myself. The Lib on dumpy vs mushy comparison is spot on, Ive had similar experiences.
End of Summer 2019, first named storm swell, call it chest-head and some bump, it was just not dumping enough for the LTPJ to go nuts and be great fun vs sliding on the bottom. Some guy with a C4 that day said it was a little chattery; but all I really noticed was the LTPJ's tendency to release/slide in the lip (which I love in that specific board).
