Good to hear! I hope to see your progress.

Bravo! Loved this video. I so want to make one of these but guess I better start out with buying all of the woodworking equipment in this video. LOL. A labor of love I’m sure and how exciting to take your creation out on the water. Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.

Glad you liked the video Dale! I hope you give it a try. The tools help but the board can definitely be built with less (or more😆) tools than i used. It's a fun toy to take out on the lake and it's even better enjoying something you've made. Thanks for the comments. 👍

Turned out awsome! It is a special sense of pride knowing you made something. I'll bet that thing gets a lot of attention wherever you take it!

Great job on the board. I appreciate you showing all the steps. How did you keep the epoxy from dripping on the sides when you glassed it?

@buildsomethingawesome

Жыл бұрын

Thanks for liking my video! 🙂 I kept on wiping the drips on the resin until it stiffened up enough. Any runs were sanded down after. So far, getting a glossy smooth finish isn't my strong point.

Very nice board and video! How does it track? (With the fins on). Just wondering if after using it you are thinking about a keel. I am thinking about building one since the junk plastic one I have tracks poorly even with fins. Again very nice!

@buildsomethingawesome

2 жыл бұрын

It tracks very nicely actually. Three fins are plenty, I've thought of removing one to make it easier to turn. With a little bit of paddle angle i can paddle straight without switching from side to side. I hope you give it a try! It's a great learning experience to build one. I'm planning to build another one sometime but a little shorter. Probably 8 or 9 ft instead of 10 ft.

This is awesome! Great Job! Any chance you could link to the parts that you used?

Very nice! What kind of plywood was that? 3/8” CDX?

@buildsomethingawesome

2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Yes, just regular 3/8 plywood. It makes it simple and inexpensive for building, then there is no need for a special table to prop it up (it holds its own weight up and doesn't flop around like thinner ply).

Can I use regular plywood for the bones? I’ve got plans from Jarvis but I can’t find marine grade ply anywhere.

@buildsomethingawesome

2 жыл бұрын

Yeah for sure! I used regular ply and it works fine. If you're worried about it you could get treated plywood.

@@FlavioRicardoDesign a couple tips and things i would change on the next one are this: make the back end a little wider, it has a small sweet spot for balance from the front to back. The second would be to put two air vents in, just in case water gets inside so you can pressurize the inside with one vent on an air hose and blow the water out through the second vent.

What plans did you use for this? Thinking about making one myself but not sure if i should buy plans etc

It's 10ft long with ribs every 8inches. 2" on each end with a 6" belly. 32" wide at the middle. I don't have specific measurements for each part.

That’s beautiful!!! Do you happen to know how much it weighs?

@buildsomethingawesome

2 жыл бұрын

Hey thanks, it weighs around 38 lbs. It's definitely on the heavier side of the paddleboard spectrum. But I've found the only inconvenience is when I'm carrying to the lake. Once it's in the water, the weight makes it really stable and i prefer it over a lighter one.
