[Part 1 of 3] Adventure Paddling 77 Miles in 19 Hours with Test Pilot @JackBark. The son of legendary paddleboard craftsman Joe Bark, Jack Bark is a humble man who quietly does extraordinary things in the ocean. In early September 2022, he reached out to us with an idea: he wanted to paddle from the coast of Southern California out around Catalina and back. In one go. We squinted at the text, unsure if we’d read it right. 30 miles was typically the wall most long-distance paddlers hit before finishing a race or stopping for the night. This journey would take them 50 miles beyond that point. We geared up Jack and his crew on the support boat. 19 hours later, our phones lit up with a single message: “We survived.” Read the full story through the link in bio. — 🎥: @slader_bark
