~not my Joe Bark Paddleboard...just a reasonable facsimile thereof!
NW WIND 10 TO 15 KT. WIND WAVES 2 FT. W SWELL 8 FT AT 14 SECONDS.
A 17 foot Joe Bark Unlimited Paddleboard...
Carbon Fiber...
Foot controlled rudder...
Hollow...
Fast...
Spent most of my last paddle...
Trying to knee paddle...
And falling off alot...
Not to mention...
My bleeding feet...
From the abrasive action...
Of switching from prone to knees...
And vice versa...
Oh, and ripped big toenail...
Ah well, lesson learned...
And knee paddling accomplished...
For a few satisfying moments.

Been a long time since I read through my fave surf blogs. Glad to check and see you gotta classic paddleboard. Mines an 18' Bark Epoxy. These days I do more paddling than surfing. Get used to know-nothings saying "that's not a paddleboard...where's your oar?"
