Catalyst / Tuflite — The Ultimate Family-Friendly SUP
Shaped by legendary designer Joe Bark, the Catalyst / Tuflite is built to bring everyone on the water with confidence and ease. Designed as a true family board, the Catalyst offers
outstanding stability for flat-water cruising while still delivering smooth, predictable performance in small to medium surf.
The Tuflite micro-sandwich construction blends quality fiberglass, EPS foam, and high-quality resin to create a board that’s lightweight, durable, and ready for years of use. At 11'2" long and 32.5" wide with 203 liters of volume, the Catalyst provides a stable, forgiving platform that works equally well for beginners, larger paddlers, and multiple skill levels within the same household.
Thoughtful features make the Catalyst easy to live with on and off the water, including a 3⁄4- length thermal-debossed deck pad for comfort and traction, deck tie-downs for carrying gear, a ledge-style carry handle, and a rear padded handle for effortless transport. Whether you’re cruising calm water, teaching the kids, or catching mellow waves, the Catalyst / Tuflite is a dependable, all-around board designed to keep the whole family stoked.

What riders are saying
Owners say it handles well, from a river running high after lots of rain to good-sized waves for one rider. The finish is the weak spot. Two of the five say it dings or marks up easily, one from a very minor bump on the dock.
Based on 5 reviews across 1 site, averaging 4.6 / 5.
