Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP). Making a Blank

Had fun on a loaned SUP, so decided to try making one for myself. This is how we made the blank.

Very cool! I can’t wait to see how it does when someone stands on it and see if it will still float on water!

[@arichardofalltrades6770]

I use it all the time!

about 62 pounds per cubic foot of water dissplaced, foam 1.5 pound per cubic foot.
186 pounder, need about 3 cubic feet of foam
foam 4" X 4' X 8' = 1/3 X 32 = 10 cubic feet per sheet, 1/2 a sheet good enough
minus the weight of the foam
it floats for sure

Those aren’t 4” sheets

Dang. Thanks, for demoing my plan to make an sup. thinking fiberglass tubing to make it really strong.
enough to mount a sail, dagger board and rudder. FR4 G10 fiber glass sheet is great for strength, cuts
like wood.
thanks

Thanks

48 In wide ??? No one can paddle that lol

[@arichardofalltrades6770]

I've paddled it for several months. Just looking to get out on the water on a stable platform. That's what I got.

[@kevywilliams3304]

Way to much foam .

[@arichardofalltrades6770]

Maybe so - Gorilla Glue worked better, as the foam didn't want to spread out

[@riccardofacchielli3572]

really no sense!!!!

[@arichardofalltrades6770]

No, really sense!
