The forum upgrade is complete. It was very uneventful. Please post issues in this thread.

Due to a high level of "bad actor" traffic on the community site Jaysen is implementing a forced verification to confirm that you are a human. This is a PITA and he hates it too. The 3.2 seconds it takes for the one time you have to do it every couple hours is much preferable to the hours we are losing to morons clogging the CPU on the servers. Jaysen is still looking to solve this a bit less intrusively and without cost to BBC. Hopefully the magic solution will appear out of thin air soon. Jaysen is already annoyed.

SUP prototype build

Post by tech_support »

We started assembly of our first test SUP board. Not a lot to show right now, but here are some shots of the puzzle joints we are using. For this first one we are using scrap wood, next one will be the expensive stuff :)

I have been thinking about a paddleboard for a little shore fishing on a couple of small lakes. Can't wait to see the finished product.

8) Plenty of lakes up here, just ask all the Colorado folks who run up here every weekend to ruin our pristine empty spaces :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously though while I could use them on the lakes up here it's irrelevent as I'm moving back to GA this fall 8)

I want one for running the shoreline of lakes back in Arkansas after I move back this spring.

OK, I am ready to see some more work
