Sea State SUP

We are building a flat water SUP.   We have had fun using some Hemel's and a few lesser brands.   But, it turns out it is less expensive to build the plug, mold and board than buying a decent SUP, so we are going into production.
Since this board will be built and sold in the midwest, we designed a board for flat-water use.  It has a longer flat mid-section, no overall rocker and just a bit of nose and tail lift.  The dimensions will be 10'10"  with a beam of 31".

St. Louis Sail and Paddle has asked me to teach a couple of boat building classes this winter.
This SUP will be built as a hull with the option of a strip built wood deck.  It can be purchased as a kit (Hull plus wood and glass for the deck) and it will be one of the choices for the boat building class.

There will be a size limit to the class of about 10 projects.  We are also looking at a small sailing dingy (the British Moth).  This boat will be offered as a kit for the St. Louis Sail and Paddle class.
If you are interested in these classes.  Please inquire about them.
