Hi all - has anyone paddled both the Bark Dominator 14 and the Bark Expedition 14 ? If so can you please tell me your thoughts on both boards and how they compare in all aspects.
Please note - I am only interested in these two boards as a comparison and not any other brand as a comparison.
pretty sure one is a cruiser and one is for racing, one is fast and one is slow, now all you have to do is guess what one is what!!!!!!! ![]()
The Expedition is a cruiser, super stable, basically an oversized semi gun shaped surfboard template.
Really good for crusing the bays or coastline's.....also a good training board where speed isn't the focus but logging many miles is.
The Dominator is a race board, I wouldn't say 'tippy' as such but you cement your feet in the one position, put your head down and race it without much room for anything else.
If you want to race and be fast the Dominator is the board however if you want to enjoy the gentler side of SUP'n, the Expedition would be the board.
Hope that helps....I've had them both BTW.

I have a 14 bark exp for sale on the breeze. Excellent stable board. Perfect for light offshore and flat water cruising.
I did quite a lot of research on this board and the Lahui Kai 14 and this is what made me choose the LK
The bark is a more of a flat water and light dw.
The bark originates from California where flat water racing/ conditions are more prevalent and the board was born put of those conditions.
Should say I am talking about the Bark Dominator not Expedition.
