Re: SUP Build (final prototype)

For those of us that wont be surfing with the board how hard do you think is would be to just put a fin box in the center aft?

its like a $10 add on but really gives you the ability to add some sexy fin choices.

Re: SUP build - Shine

I learned something about fins today. Wife's board is about 25 pounds and bulky for her. It slipped out of her hand while lunching off the dock and snapped 1 of the 3 fins off on the edge of our dock. Since the fins on her board slide into a slot and are held in place with a set screw it is absolute...

Re: SUP build - Shine

That video was awesome but way more performance than I am hoping for. I am thinking a hole the size of a broom stick diameter. I noticed when I paddle board I dont use the center of the deck so I can lay it there lengthwise and pop it in and deploy when the conditions are right. Im kinda in a unique...

Re: SUP build - Shine

I cant wait to start 1. my wife got impatient and kinda made me buy her a 11' SUP and its fun but i look forward to making mine. I will be adding a simple mast hole I think.

Re: SUP build - Shine

Prototypes begin to pile up in the back of the office. If anybody wants a SUP for very little $, email Joel. :) Prototype #1 is a throw away: you can pick it up for free. It will not sink but I find it too heavy and we never painted it. #2 is well built, lighter than #1 but still about 10lbs more t...

Re: SUP build - Shine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jdk9tV9Uzm0&feature=related A video showing an optional rack for SUP. I assume you would have to pre-plan these kinds of mods vice retofit to make sure the frame is strong enough. Since I live in the keys there are lots of places with big fish that are very close t...

Re: SUP build - Shine

I look forward to it. Looks like I need to get a bit more clamps than I own now. And this is a distraction...She so wants a new kitchen.

Re: SUP build - Shine

I was about to order and build my first set of plans but my zeal was crushed by my wife. Her exact words..."I don't want a boat I want a Stand up Paddle board." So before I am allowed to build a flats boat for myself I have to produce a SUP for her. We do you expect to release the Plans an...
