Can you tell us anything more about your experiences paddling the Bark Surftech 14 Dominator? I'm in the market for a 14-footer and like to learn all I can. Thanks!
Steven. I started racing this board about a third of the way into the season this year and it handled everything well. It's very smooth and quick in flat glassy water. I never had a problem going downwind, doesn't track like other boards and one of the things I liked most was how it handled going up wind and cross chop, because of the nose, going up wind it didn't bounce just cut right through and it didn't get pushed around much with side winds. Hope this helps.
Steven, Both boards are great can't go wrong with a Bark and Surftech. I race the 14' because of my size @ 6'4" and 200lbs I don't like racing the smaller boards. The 12'6" would be good for a rider below 180 or if you want a race board that can surf also the 14' is a little harder in the waves. Hope this helps. Chill

Chill. This helps a great deal. Many thanks. Any thoughts regarding the Bark Dominator 14 vs the Bark Competitor 12.5?
