Stopped out at the shop today and snapped a couple shots of some new rides. Some are headed north and some are headed west… Thought you guys might enjoy having a look at what the boys had been up to!
Hopefully a bit more RA friendly entry to the shop now….

As most of you have probably noticed, we’ve moved our new content over to our Facebook page for the most part, as it seemed to be where everyone was checking anyhow. If you were wondering where we went, hope that clears it up. If you want to keep up on what’s happening in the ever changing world of BARK, head on over and check it out!
With that out of the way, we got an email from the guys up in the Santa Barbarea that needed to be posted up here too. It’s 18 minutes, but it’s well worth your time as far as we’re concerned. Thanks guys. www.friendshippaddle.org

Jack Shimko is at it again this summer, but this time he’s got young Jack Bark and 6 Junior Waterman Academy members along for the ride!
Watch the video. Says it all….

Morgan sent the link last night of a segment in the skills series she was putting together with SUP the magazine that seemed worthy of repost here. It’s titled, ‘How to Surf a Race Board,’ and covers the basics of how to use the surf to your advantage come race day.
Disclaimer: BE CAREFUL. Your BARK was designed and constructed to get you to the finish line fastest, not to be smashed into the sand while you learn to surf.

From the first lady of paddling. Get your order in early!
Kanesa Duncan recently put in the order for her 2012 race board and her attention to detail was pretty impressive. She compared and contrasted the conditions where her past boards had really shined and what she was hoping to get in the next one. So goes the evolution of BARK boards….
The board underneath you is the result of the attention to detail and the R&D of the entire BARK team. Joe’s collaboration with the very best in the sport, like Kanesa Duncan, keeps each board model constantly progressing and getting closer and closer to that ‘magic’ board. Check out the R&D pics below and, if you’re planning to race a new board in 2012, do it soon before everyone starts scrambling.
Kanesa already has her order in.
She’ll probably get to the finish line before you too……
Get out and paddle!

Leave it to Joe to come up with something crazier than the last and sure enough, he did. Rumors of a feat unimagined to date started swirling in late fall…. A journey so crazy that all who heard of it assumed it would pass…. BUT IT NEVER DID!
Joe put together a group to do one of the most amazing endurance athletic tests he could conceive. Friday AM paddle to Catalina, Sat AM run the Catalina Marathon, bus back to the isthmus Sat PM after the run, Sun AM paddle back to the mainland. Any of those on their own are impressive, but all 3 in consecutive days is nuts.
They did it. Then Charlie cooked some of his famous chicken. WOW……
Please add some comments to point out who did what and some Facebook links for additional photos!

If you’re looking for a last minute gift for that SUP minded person on your list, give Joe or Charlie a call on one of these and they can give you all the specifics on size, price, etc!
Weather’s been great, hope you’ve all been getting out there to enjoy it!

BARK team rider ‘Captain’ Morgan Hoesterey took a little road trip with her friend Gillian Gibree a couple weeks back. She passed along some photos from the trip.
Pretty sure she has this whole ‘the good life’ thing DIALED IN.
Keep it up Morgan!
Obligatory quiver on car shot.
Talking to the man.
Denholm sighting!
