Becoming a Surftech Sponsored Athlete



Bodie Shandro of Surftech Canada has come on board to support me on my STANDUP4GREATBEAR Expedition. Bodie was excited to hear about the expedition and has supported me by donating a Joe Bark 14' Expedition SUP. This board is the cream of the crop for expedition SUP's. I will be paddling in some very challenging and variable conditions. I will need to move quickly and efficiently and will need a board that can handle big water. This is it and the trip will be very difficult to do without this board. Mountain Surf Adventures is now also working with SURFTECH Canada. Mountain Surf will be using Surftech boards this summer for Paddlefit classes, rentals, and lessons.

According to Joe Barks Website:

"BARK teamed up with surf and paddle industry leader Surftech to produce a line of boards constructed utilizing their unrivaled Tuflite technology- the ultimate in performance and durability. Joe’s designs, coupled with Surftech’s advanced composite sandwich fabrication, yield boards that are not only light and durable, but are also proven performers.

The Expedition is the ultimate paddle touring vessel, and the result of over two years of extensive R&D. Efficiency, speed and stability, combined with accessory options like storage webbing points, handles, GPS and paddle holders allow the Expedition to addapt to a range of water conditions and paddling applications. Not only a favorite of our team, the Expedition took GEAR OF THE YEAR honors in Men's Journal 2010 review."

I am really excited to get this board and test it out on this 300+km journey.

I am stoked to be part of the Surftech Team and look forward to my paddle.
