Bark Catalyst SUP
"Love the board. Shipped without a scratch. No issues. Will definitely buy another Surftech board."




The Catalyst / Tuflite is the perfect board for the whole family. Joe BARK shaped the Catalyst for flat-water cruising plus it still performs well in small to medium surf. Utilizing quality fiberglass, EPS, GreenPoxy® resin (plant based epoxy system), and Surftech molding methods, we achieved a very durable and lightweight board. The Catalyst is included with 4 Deck tie-downs, ledge handle, Rear padded handle, and ¾ deck pad.

"Love the board. Shipped without a scratch. No issues. Will definitely buy another Surftech board."
"Stable and rides great, including in good-sized waves. Shiny surfaces get marked up easily."
"I love the board. However, a very minor bump on the dock resulted in a ding all the way through the paint."
"Been out with it only a couple times on the river…it handles well with the high flows given all the rain. Surf tech was great to deal with in terms of buying the board…shipping w/in CA was fast and organized. /matt"
"I love this Board - for the first time in my life, I can carry my own board and get in and out myself. I thought it would be difficult to ride in the ocean since it's so light and low volume, but it's amazingly stable in wind and medium surf ( 3 - 4'). I've yet to fall off of it, which is my #1 criteria in a board."
"Words don’t describe how well this board performs in all conditions. Truly magnificent. Just pure magic on the water 🌊🏝"
"Catalyst completely lived up to my expectations. It's light and super responsive. Accelerates very quickly and glides extremely well."
"My wife and I decided at the beginning of the COVID summer we’d finally get into SUP. Of course this board (and many others) was sold out all summer, but better late than never! We have nothing to compare it to, but love it. Great for us noobs, cruises right along."
"Great design and materials. Beautiful board and was glad to see the BARK name on it. I am a beginner and so glad I started out with this one. Just wide enough and long enough. Glad I didnt go the inflatible route and light enough and easy enough to throw on top of the Tesla."
"If you’re on the market for an all around board that works for all skill levels and is in the mid-tier price point, check out the Catalyst from Surftech. The Catalyst is a non-inflatable board and uses Surftech’s Tuflite V-Tech construction making it nice and durable. The board is fairly lightweight for its size at 25.5 lbs and is easy to carry. Best suited for paddling short to mid-range distances, the Catalyst is a great all around board that can be used as something to learn on, something to go for a quick surf on and go for some adventures along the coast. Offered at $1,399 the Catalyst sits in the mid-price point market and is a quality choice at that price. - SUPconnect.com"
