SUP deck structure

The Sea State SUP is designed to be sold as a kit.  Finished boards will also be for sale.
The board is made up of 4 panel components.  The largest part is the hull bottom.  It is a structural skin molding of biaxial glass.  This part is the full length of the board and includes the side rails.
The deck structure is composed of the foredeck.  It is also a biaxial glass molded part.
The aft deck is of the same structure and size.
The kit part of this sup is the rest of the deck area.  A selection of wood strips, glass cloth and epoxy are included so you can get creative with the look of this SUP.

When purchased as a kit, the fore and aft decks are already glassed onto the hull.  Stringers are installed.  The only work required is the design and installation of the wood strip deck.

Below are photos of the foredeck structure being formed.  Once this is completed, this part will be molded.
