Bark Eliminator?
« on: September 03, 2015, 01:27:18 PM »
I'm looking for a new board and was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Eliminator? I'm 6'2 240 and paddle the northeast, so mostly chop and short period wind waves. I currently have a SIC F14 but it's a bear paddling into short period wind waves pretty much comes to a shuddering stop. Hoping the pointy nose on the Eliminator would buy me some efficiency so I can paddle upwind, still get some glide downwind, and not give up any stability but get more efficiency. Thanks

Yeah, sounds like the Eliminator may well be what you want. Just don't expect it to downwind as well as your SIC, and it will be generally more twitchy in difficult conditions (eg. cross-chop). But for a displacement nose board it is very stable.

I wish SIC made the F14 in the lighter SCC construction. Heavy boards are hard work upwind into chop.
