Joe Bark’s shapes are unmistakable. Period.

When I came to my first SUP race, six years or so ago (the Cold Stroke Classic) Bark SUP boards were pretty much all I noticed. They are unmistakable too, but when I think of a classic Joe Bark shape, it’s the Commander that dominates.

See for yourself in this 2014 video with Joe’s son Jack (looking so young!) walking us through the basics of “the prone zone” and just notice the shape and the performance.

Nuff said.
