ExCEED yOuR ExPECTATIONS Slicing through calm morning glass. Long weekend training rides with the crew. All-out sprints to the finish line. Phantom riders absolutely live for this stuff. Since these paddlers are focused on performance, and driven by speed and the thrill of competition, these serious racers won’t settle for anything less, whatever it takes to cross the finish line first. The BARK PhAnTom in QuAnTum CARBon ConSTRuCTion By SuRfTeCh is stable, confident and forgiving on stretches of rough water, yet fast; accelerating and maintaining speed well and making the most of every paddle stroke. Phantom riders paddle hard and fast, relishing every minute they can keep the competition in their wake. These athletes spend hours on their boards, often in the brutal heat or chilling cold and wind, turning out every ounce of energy they can muster on their way to a new level of fitness, ability, and endurance in pursuit of a championship trophy, and personal best. That is why they demand complete performance: the Phantom’s combination of stiffness, liveliness and light weight with a hydrodynamic hull designed by Joe Bark–the most copied designer in race board history. only Joe Bark could design the Phantom Series. only Surftech could offer Quantum Carbon technology and construction.

JOE BARk surfer, paddler, BOard Builder, fitness freaK, waterman, family man. Joe Bark is the type of inspirational figure from which the sport of SuP was born. Joe built his first prone paddleboard back in 1976, and has competed in every Catalina race since 1983 (winning twice!). As the sport of SuP emerged, it was only natural that Joe would apply his 30 years of prone paddleboard design knowledge into producing the best race SuP’s the world has ever seen. Joe’s lifestyle has always been one of paddling, freediving, spear fishing, fitness, and riding big waves. With his unrivaled experience, work ethic, and attention to detail, Joe remains the undisputed leading designer of race SuP’s. more races are won on Bark boards than any other brand!

PEARSON, BARk, HAMILTON
LAIRD Laird hamilton is one of the most accomplished watermen on the planet, equally adept at windsurfing, surfing the world’s biggest waves, accomplishing incredible challenges on a SuP (crossed the english Channel in 2006), or simply blowing minds on a longboard at home on the north Shore of Kauai. often referred to as the Godfather of SuP, Laird is widely recognized as the guy that brought this ancient hawaiian pastime into the modern age. The Laird models from Surftech were the first production SuP’s to hit the market and he continues to push the level of performance in his latest range of boards. To design his surf SuPs, Laird teamed up with Bob Pearson, a legendary Santa Cruz surfer who started shaping in the mid 1960’s. As a lifeguard in the late 60’s, Bob competed in paddleboard races on boards that he built, and established quite a reputation through his success. in the 70’s, Bob moved to hawaii and surfed the professional circuit while beginning to experiment with a variety of materials and construction methods. When the sailboard craze happened, construction technologies rapidly evolved, which for Bob led to making composite boards with impressive strength-to-weight ratios. Through the years, Pearson Arrow Surfboards has crafted boards for many of the top surfers in the world. Around 2002, Laird contacted Bob with an interest he and Dave Kalama played around with using big boards and paddles. Soon, Bob was headed down to malibu to check it out and began shaping Laird Stand up Paddleboards. Laird and Bob soon teamed up with Surftech to make the finest SuP’s in the world with a wide range of models from which to choose.

JM PADDLEBOARDS as a 16 year old in a neighbors garage in the 80’s; a kid who loved the idea of making his own boards. By the early 90’s he was sponsored and paddling competitively, and began working in the factory for a local Australian surf company. in 2003, after 10 years in the industry, he went solo. Adrian knew fellow Aussie Jamie mitchell through the race scene, and that year he shaped Jamie an 18’ paddleboard, and their dynamic relationship had begun.
kENNy SMITH
adrian Birse first started shaping
Jamie had won the fearsome molokai-2-oahu Paddleboard World Championship three times in a row when he got on Adrian’s unlimited paddleboard designs in 2003. They collaborated to come up with an 18’ paddleboard that Jamie took through another seven consecutive wins to earn his place in history with an incredible ten wins. This proved to the world that their partnership and designs were a winning formula. in 2005, upon Jamie’s urging, Adrian took his knowledge of paddleboard design and began shaping SuPs. 2009 was a particularly good year for Jm Paddleboards, as Adrian shaped winning paddleboards for multiple divisions in the Australian nationals, as well as Jamie’s winning molokai2-oahu paddleboard and his Battle of the Paddle SuP. Jamie and Adrian continue to refine designs and see success and growth, producing top models in Surftech technologies.

Gerry had made early contributions to the sport of windsurfing, and notably in the surfing world through the Lightning Bolt Brand in the 1970s. he shaped his first SuP upon Laird hamilton’s request way back when Laird was the only one doing it. Like shaping his first surfboard in 1968, Gerry discovered that his lifetime of experience shaping surfboards and intimate ocean knowledge provided for him an easy and natural transition into shaping SuPs. Gerry continues to hone his skills by perpetually paddling, surfing and shaping, expanding his quiver into several different Surftech technolgies. Always cool, smooth, and stylish, Gerry remains one of the most iconic, admired and respected surfers of all time. 1969 : SHAPINg

CHANNEL ISLANDS Al merrick began surfing in encinitas at 10, sponsored early on by Surfboards hawaii. moving to Santa Barbara in 1965 and inspired by Dick Brewer and Bob mcTavish, he picked up a planer in 1966 and never looked back. however, the world hadn’t yet discovered merrick, even after Shaun Tomson captured the world title in 1977. Around that time, he started shaping boards for a local grom with a promising future by the name of Tom Curren who became merrick’s prodigy and Channel islands grew to colossal proportions. Channel islands built momentum, but once his boards became Kelly Slater’s weapon of choice, every surfer had to have a quiver. Teaming up with Surftech over a decade ago, his unparalleled shapes, built in our proven Tuflite techology, have found their way under the feet of thousands of surfers around the world. As the incredible growth of SuP occurred, merrick crafted a full range of SuP models that showcase his incredible shaping skills and understanding of what makes a board truly magic.

ROBERT AuguST Robert August was born into the surf scene. The son of Blackie August, a renowned lifeguard and one of the first to surf Redondo Beach, Robert was chosen as a teenager along with mike hynson to star in The endless Summer, an iconic surf movie which took him around the globe. This priceless experience allowed him to be the first to surf in many areas where people had never before seen a surfboard. Back in huntington Beach Robert worked in Jacobs’ Surf Shop, and began shaping in 1966. With the release of endless Summer ii, there was a resurgence of classic longboards in surf culture, which provided a shot in the arm for his legendary shapes. it was a natural progression to design SuPs and Robert was one of the first shapers to build his designs in Surftech’s proven technologies. Robert’s “What i Paddle” is the translation of his popular “What i Ride” longboard into the stand up world, and is what he paddles everyday.

ROxy RoXy debuted in 1990 with the idea to unify female surfers in community and provide for them a brand that fit their lifestyle: “fun, bold, athletic, daring and classy.” Being born of Quiksilver and therefore with love for the ocean a part of their lineage, it was a natural step for RoXy to create a line of fun and attractive surfboards. in conjunction with experienced shaper Randy french, Randy designed and built a series of RoXy surfboards that are enjoyed worldwide. As stand up paddling grew and girls that love the water started experiencing the ocean through SuP, RoXy again looked to Randy to shape SuP boards that were better suited for girls to have fun on the water in a new and exciting way. RoXy SuPs are styled and shaped specifically for the smaller paddler that needs a board that she can handle with ease, because your next chance to have a good time could be right around the corner!

RANDy FRENCH since Our inceptiOn, surftech has teamed up with the wOrld’s tOp Brands, athletes and shapers. our roots run deep, starting with our founder and in-house designer/ shaper, Randy french. his legendary background began in the 70’s as he honed his skills crafting surfboards and building a solid surf team. next, he created the international windsurf brand Seatrend, where he pushed the construction and technology envelope resulting in faster and stronger boards for a sport that put big-time demands on it’s equipment. During this era, Randy learned how to make a largeboard go very fast and that knowledge has translated into crafting exceptional stand up paddle boards. in 1992, Surftech was created to bring new technology to the process of board building. Randy saw that the way boards were being made hadn’t changed for over 40 years. The old way wasn’t very durable, so a lot of boards ended up in landfills and the toxic materials weren’t kind to the environment. he made it his mission to bring revolutionary new construction technologies to the world. The Wood Veneer Series was the first technology, resulting in beautiful, durable, precise boards created with a seamless construction process. it was embraced by many legendary shaper/designers and continues to be used in select models today. Randy kept looking for better materials and processes that would enable him to exactly reproduce master shapes that were lighter, stronger and more ecologically sustainable. The result was the creation of Surftech’s Tuflite epoxy composite technology, which was a game-changer in the industry.
DALE vELzy AND RANDy FRENCH WITH ONE OF THE EARLy SuRFTECH WOOD vENEERS
After years of research and testing, Surftech was proud to be the first to offer a real alternative to the fossil-based foam cores being used. The resulting “natural Composite” skin material is made from a renewable cellulose fiber that is sustainable and recyclable. unlike most competitors, our fused-Cell cores are actually waterproof and have remarkable flex properties, retaining incredible structural integrity for years of enjoyment.
The evolutionary progression continues and Surftech has a wide variety of technologies that were each developed with specific characteristics in mind. Randy’s legacy of creating new technologies is why

BuILT AROuND THE CORE After years of research and testing Surftech were proud to be the first company to offer our “natural Composite” construction, made from a renewable cellulose fiber that is sustainable and recyclable. Water enthusiasts are acutely aware of the effect mankind is having on the planet, that’s why our recyclable ePS fused-Cell cores offer a real alternative to the fossil-based foam that is being widely used today. Since the cells in our foam are fused, the Surftech core is waterproof. even if you get a ding in your board, it will not take on water!
TuFLITE As the world-wide leader in composite surfboard technology, Surftech revolutionized surfboard construction when we introduced Tuflite sandwich/ epoxy construction. Since that time Tuflite has become the often copied, but never duplicated benchmark construction for SuP customers who insist on boards that easily handle day-to-day use while offering the performance advantages of light-weight precision shapes. Lighter, Stronger, Proven! *features recyclable, water-tight fused-Cell Core. uSE FOR: SuRF, RACE, TOuRINg, FITNESS

We have carefully chosen high quality materials that will maintain the crisp flex and soft feel that many wave riders prefer. *features water-tight fused Cell Core. uSE FOR: SuRF
