xBARK Paddleboards are the fastest boards on the water. More races have been won on BARK paddle boards than any other brand. Why? Because no surf/paddleboard designer has logged more time on the water than Joe Bark. Joe’s complete range of boards – from his world famous unlimitedclass and stock paddleboards, to his standup paddleboards, coastal touring boards, big wave guns and longboards – are all tested, refined, hand-shaped and finished right here in Southern California. We are stoked to pair Bark’s craftmanship with Surftech’s cutting edge manufacturing capabilitites and ability to consistently produce large volumes of boards to bring the highest quality prones to the market.
JOE BARK
DESIGN MEETS CRAFT; PERFECTION IN PRACTICE
There is a wisdom that comes from daily practice, a perspective only community can provide, and expertise derived from combining all that with a consistent pushing of the limits. Joe Bark proves the statement above. A wise man, a sage of board design, Joe has tinkered and tweaked in every which way and then taken his craft to the test in the most extreme ways possible, all to build the best boards he can. And his boards are the best. Evangelized by a community of loyal stand up and prone paddlers, Joe’s boards have been atop the podium at multiple races and are a trusted choice for anyone looking to cross an open ocean. Surtech is proud to partner with Joe Bark in the design of our premium stand up and prone paddle boards.

TECHNOLOGY WITH PURPOSE
Since 1989 Surftech has pioneered the use of advanced composites in the manufacturing of surfboards and paddle boards. Known for durability, performance, quality, and consistency, Surftech has always paired the best SUP designs with our cutting-edge technologies.
Tuflite is Surftech’s game-changing molded technology optimized for durability and presented at an affordable price. Adapted from Surftech’s surfboard construction, our Tuflite construction on SUPs is optimized for the needs of paddlers.
Fusion V-Tech construction starts with a water-resistant fused-cell foam “core” which makes them extra strong and durable. The core is then wrapped with layers of fiberglass and is vacuum-bagged and bonded to the core using high-quality epoxy resin. For additional strength where it counts, a natural wood standing area is installed for reinforcement. Fusion V-Tech construction also has rail reinforcements for flex and durability. Fusion V-tech is a strong and economical choice for paddlers looking for the perfect blend of performance and durability.
Surftech’s Utility Armor construction consists of a water-resistant fused-cell EPS core, high-quality grade fiberglass, epoxy resin, plus reinforced rails and standing area. Then the board receives an ABS/PC plastic heat-molded shell for an extremely durable layer of armor. The Utility Armor shell protects against drops, hacks, and is the ideal construction for rental facilities or first-time board owners.
Surftech’s Air-Travel inflatable SUPs feature advanced drop-stitch construction and a double-walled design, ensuring exceptional durability and performance. The drop-stitch method uses thousands of tiny threads to connect the top and bottom layers, allowing the board to inflate to a high pressure while maintaining its shape. The double-walled design adds an extra layer of strength, providing superior rigidity and stability on the water. This construction not only enhances performance but also makes the board lightweight and easy to transport, perfect for any adventure. Enjoy a stable and responsive ride, whether you’re paddling on calm lakes or navigating choppy waters.
Our Madera collection uses a variety of sustainably harvested timber chosen for its strength to weight ratio, not to mention its aesthetic beauty, to create a durable outer shell around a super light EPS core. The board is then encapsulated in an epoxy resin to create a watertight seal and further add rigidity. Our first test riders were blown away by the performance and, even though you could ding one if you really tried, we have not had a test board come back dinged or broken. If you are looking for a board that performs, is durable, and uses sustainably sourced materials the Madera collection is for you.
SURFTECH 1 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY – we offer a limited warranty against any defect in workmanship or materials. Your Surftech board should arrive in perfect condition and ready for use. We go to great lengths to design and build high quality products and we make every effort to ensure they get to you without any manufacturer defects. We realize that your board is an essential part of your lifestyle so we offer a limited 1 YEAR warranty to assure that your purchase meets the quality standards you expect.
