I launched the flat water 480 board today that I've been building over the last month or so. Still not varnished yet but it was such a nice day I couldn't resist getting her out. It's also my first SUP so I found it a bit tippy but as I didn't fall in, it can't be that bad. I like building things with timber and loved the Kaholo boards from CLC but thought I could take it a step further by introducing tortured ply construction to make it stiffer and lighter and also get a rounded displacement hull. Hope you like it (don't be too cruel).

wow, forget that it's timber build for a moment- that is one radical board

crazy looking board, but i like it, would love to see some more photos Jarryd

Why are you paddling it upside down? Just kidding.. but someone had to say it... Looks great.. DJ

+1 on that. sweet ride you built

Hi all, thanks for the comments. I took a bunch of pictures during construction so I'll start another thread about building the board and give some more details then, probably over the weekend.

love the wave piercing bow! Awesome stuff, cant wait to see the build thread.

Great job and looks like it pierces nicely. Please do post pics as I'm hoping to start my own timber-sup soon, once I get my 'other' projects done. I'm going to have a crack at building a 14' DWer with attachments for river fishing using plywood & cedar (I hope, as I have a stack of WR cedar leftover from my joinery days).

That looks amazing , fantastic job.

Magic well done something to brag about
