About the C4 Foundation A love of country, devotion to his family and Navy SEAL brothers, a zest for life: this is the legacy of Charles Humphrey Keating IV, or “C4.” On May 3, 2016, he heroically gave his life in Iraq defending our freedom. This year, we honor the 10th anniversary of his passing while celebrating his enduring legacy. The mission of the C4 Foundation and fortitude-building programs at the C4 Ranch is to significantly reduce stress, strengthen family connections and nurture feelings of optimism and gratitude for Navy SEAL families.

Charlie was known for his huge, open-mouthed grin as well as his trademark Shaka. Ian was also inspired by the SEAL Teams’ use of the Bone Frog, which represents a Navy SEAL who has been Killed in Action. It’s a sacred symbol that only those who are members of the brotherhood are allowed to wear. Ian created the Bone Shaka as a symbol that could be universally worn by anyone who wanted to feel closer to Charlie. Today, the Bone Shaka brings to life the values that Charlie embodied that are carried on through the C4 Foundations’s mission. This year, the added “X” behind the Bone Shaka symbolizes 10 in Roman numerals, honoring the 10th anniversary of Charlie’s heroic passing.

Equipped with antique brass grommets, a zig-zag stitch construction & 12" x 18" dimensions, this burgee is fit for your vessel or wall. A burgee (pronounced bur + jee) is a triangular flag used by oceangoing vessels as identification. A symbol of their home harbor. For generations, ships arriving into new ports would gift the harbormaster their burgee as a sign of gratitude for safe anchorage. The two-tone red burgee flag on our gear is more than a logo. It's an emblem of our founder John Florence's genuine connection to water, earth and sky. It represents the endless pursuit of utilitarian solutions for modern sport conditions. And it’s a symbol of home. The birthplace of JJF & the dynamic R&D environment where this equipment is rigorously tested everyday – Oahu’s North Shore.
