I have not paddled one but I have seen them and they look exactly like a bark with more volume. They look great and are light. I found this post looking for the same info.

Pardon my french, but WTF does Rojas have to do with a 12'6" except maybe spit at it. The KING of the unlimited class has a 12'6 with his name on it?  Rob is one of the world's great paddlers, and seeing him make an unlimited board sit up and beg is an awesome sight. But he has no more biz on a 12'6" than Chuck Patterson or Dave Kalama do.
Foote 10'4X34", SIC 17.5 V1 hollow and an EPS one in Hood River. Foote 9'0" x 31", L41 8'8", 18' Speedboard, etc. etc.

You nailed it Pono... Rob is such a nice Guy, and SUPCo took advantage of it for the one year he rode for them. SupCo never actually made him a board to use. They had someone like Craig Richmond make it, and put a SupCo logo on it. He's back with Ohana now. La Familia. His new 19' is a copy of his Old Yeller when he was first with Ohana. SupCo will plaster anyones new anywhere they think they can make some money. Can you say "Copy Popouts"....
It's not overhead to me!
8'8" L-41 ST and a whole pile of boards I rarely use.

Rojas might like to have his face and name removed from the Supco advertising. The Supco guys called with a special deal on some  overstocks.
