First images of S4 hull and assembled test unit

Today our molders ‘broke in’ the Teflon of the S4 mold.
They molded a few hulls from low grade material, and assembled a mock S4 to see that everything works well.
And it does: The mold works perfectly, the S4 parts fit together nicely, and everything is cool. We did it!  🙂

We’ll start shipping S4 orders next week.

Here are some first images of the assembled test unit – Note that the molders didn’t bother to apply the W logo to this test part, or trim it along the parting line and cockpit opening, because next week they’ll send it the grinder.

Note that when mounted on an actual S4 boat, the mounting plate will be attached to the rear end of the cockpit by means of two 3/8″ bolts.

First S4 twin-hull (test unit) sits in Wavewalk’s assembly area. The actual S4 product will feature a W logo on each side of the stand-up casting platfrom
View from a rear angle. The rear carry handles and mounting plate are visible, and the front saddle bracket can be perceived too, with a little effort.
Front view with the casting platform and front carry handles. The rear saddle bracket is visible, and so is the mounting plate.
Rear view with the rear carry handles, the mounting plate that fits perfectly inside the molded-in mount, and the front saddle bracket that’s barely visible.

  2. Thanks Chris, we will. And a motor too 🙂

  3. Looks pretty awesome, Yoav. That mounting plate looks like it would stay in place without having to bolt it in, thereby making it easier to insert and remove it (i.e., having it in when using a motor, and leaving it out for easier rear entry when just paddling)??

  4. Thanks Gary.

    You’d have to bolt the mounting plate to the boat before you attach a motor to it, for extra safety.
    We ship each mounting plate with a couple 3/8″ bolts and nuts.

    I love the shape, look like and arrow from behind.
    And the fact that the motor is not at the end, it is a little bit inside the back.
    It is very well mechanically and physically placed.
    Ride on baby!

  8. Pyt,

    I’m aware that many people are expecting Wavewalk to show something like which the world has never seen before, and we will.

  10. Thanks Rox,

    I can’t wait to get into my S4 and start shooting videos! 😀
    Waiting is almost painful for me…
