If you appreciate the speed, stability, and sea-kindly comfort of the stock Class Waterman 12', or 14-foot (T.C.) Traditional Class, but want to enter Unlimited class events, then the 16-foot Stretch Waterman may be the board that serves your paddling needs best.

Ideal for rough-water, down-wind, choppy channel work, the 16-foot length is short enough to overcome the greatest problem most longer, knife-nosed boards face --- "pearling".

All Waterman hulls are designed with relatively straight deckline sheer, and a progressive declining elliptical bottom contour rather than rocker. This, coupled with the wider nose, enhances stability and precludes fatigue induced by the need to fight constant tippiness.

Because of a number of width options, larger paddlers are able to achieve a degree of stability unknown in other board designs
