@@Aaron.deRuiter I'm avid paddleboard(sman). Tried and use heavy plastic to go downstream through rapids or get through heavy brush along Potomac edge. Inflatables are ease to roll and store, take somewhere, but pain to pump up every time. However for pure paddling joy - veneer made hand crafted are most awesome - cutting perfectly through water.

What great videos you produce Aaron! I'm thinking of building two Cutwater SUPs for my son and his partner, buying two of your pre-cut frame kits. Whilst the 12.5 would be OK for him (5ft 10ins and weighs about 75 to 80 kgs) I was wondering about reducing the length for her to around 11ft (5ft 6ins and weighs only about 50kgs). Could I simply shorten the board by taking out the centre (largest) frame and 9 ins of decking /side rail either side of the largest frame. Also I was wondering about strip planking the top deck in 4mm Western Red Cedar and Paulowina to add some striping features. Any thoughts appreciated on both queries.

@Aaron.deRuiter

Жыл бұрын

G’day Bryan, thanks mate! I appreciate you watching the videos and wanting to build a couple of my SUPs. To be honest you’re better off building two of the same size boards. My daughter who’s 9 (around 25-30kg) can carry and paddle the Cutwater 12.5 no problems. She even takes our two dogs with her! 😀 Because the Cutwater is lightweight it is easy for just about anyone to use it plus you’ll appreciate making two of the same type at the same time as you can use the first set of hull panels as templates for the 2nd one. Stripping the decks with paulownia or cedar is definitely doable and would make a great looking board! Let me know if you have any more questions mate. Cheers, Aaron

@@Aaron.deRuiter Hi Aaron Thanks for the response. I think that would be the way to go. I've tracked down some Marine Grade Plywood here in Perth WA at ~$70 per 8ft x 4ft sheet but the minimum thickness is 4mm. This will increase the weight a bit as you seem to use 3mm but I've also sourced some sheets of veneer at 0.6mm thick in WRC/Sycamore/Birch/Spotted Gum etc in 12ft x 3ft sheets that I can glue on the top surface to create a nice "faux" strip planked look before the glass application. Do you think that will work? Also not clear from you video but I assume the wire stitchings are removed once the epoxy filleting has hardened and the holes filled in afterwards.

@Aaron.deRuiter

Жыл бұрын

You could get away with a lightweight 4mm plywood but if it’s more than 6kg a sheet it’ll make a heavy board. I often use the 3mm ply from Bunnings which works well. The copper wires don’t rust so they are trimmed flush with the hull but stay in the board.

what's the advantage of having the raised edge at the front ...or is that just aesthetics ?

@Aaron.deRuiter

Жыл бұрын

The raised foredeck has a couple of functions, it adds extra buoyancy up forward for punching through choppy water and provides a surface for the drain plug / vent to be installed at the highest point of the board… which allows any trapped air to vent upwards. Plus it adds a pretty aesthetic 😎

The plug is mostly to act as a relief valve to get rid of the built up air pressure. Every time I go for a paddle I close the plug then leave it open when not it use. No water actually gets inside. Thanks for watching mate and yep it’s a great board to paddle!

You should be building this with the major grain of the plywood run across the hull.The stiffness and impact resistance will be greatly increased. You should not have to glass all the deck if you did it correctly. Very DIY to run the ply length-ways. Also the interior needs to be epoxy coated; It wont last very long. My plywood windsurfer is over 30 years old and would be much lighter than your build.
