Probably the year’s most highly anticipated race board, the Dominator is what Joe Bark calls “a magic board.” The Dominator promises to be THE board for flat-water speed for many seasons to come. It also penetrates chop really well, connects bumps with ease, and turns easily for its size. Most importantly, Bark incorporated extensive product testing to strike the perfect balance between speed and stability – a huge factor during a long distance race when fatigue starts to set in. As a result, the Dominator is sure to live up to its name, delivering ultimate performance in long distance SUP races and flat-water sprints, and dominating the ever-growing 14’ SUP racing class.
Another cool thing about the Dominator is that it works well for paddlers of many different sizes – leveling out the playing field a little more than is possible in the 12’6” category. Bark, who weighs 210 pounds himself, says paddlers as light as 130 pounds and as heavy as 250 pounds have been stoked on the Dominator.
The Dominator also holds appeal for paddlers who don’t have any interest in racing. It’s great for touring too, or anytime you want to go somewhere fast.
Shape-wise, the Dominator resembles a missile. It has a piercing dome-shaped displacement nose, a flat deck, nearly flat bottom, and a wide tail.
Built in Surftech’s new “Pro-Elite” lightweight performance construction (yes, Surftech has developed yet another revolutionary construction method), the Dominator weighs in at a mere 26 pounds. The deck has two layers of fiberglass and is reinforced with high-density sheet foam in heavy impact areas. The bottom has one layer of fiberglass combined with a full layer of carbon fiber. The early-release prototypes and demo boards had black bottoms but for the newer models, Surftech made the wise decision to paint the bottom with the same flame-like color scheme as the deck to deflect heat. Hand sanded and polished, the Dominator is good looking as well as fast.
