Here are a few videos I took from a past demo day where we got to try out the C4 Waterman Vortice.

So which board was more stable when you tested them?
BW or XP?
That video was a tease!
The BW is much more stable (side to side) than the XP. The XP accelerates much faster though. I think for really skilled riders over 200 lbs and riders in the 180 lbs range, the XP is a very fast racing board. I personally prefer the BW due to the stability and durability of the sandwich construction. The weight also seems to help when connecting bumps in high winds.
Excellent news. I prefer the BW price and durablity advantage.
