Are you saying that the C4 paddle you're referring to has a keel or extended nib on the bottom of the blade like the one in the photo?
Or do you mean the way they have rounded the edge of the blade?

I tried one on my one man the other day.
It was on the heavy side but Todd said they were getting lighter.
real clean entrance and exit
my main problem with it was the weight which should be fixed

I've tried one.
while the shaft is certainly more subtantial than that of other paddles, I found it easy to grip and comfortable on the bottom hand.
the blade has a similar swing weight to the gelcoat covered Kialoa blades.
C4 waterman blades have a pronounced dihedral on the back of the blade - pull through feel is excellent - lower weights and more refined T-grips and Todd has a winner on his hands!
