The new Sea State 12 SUP is here

We took our new SUP out for a paddle this weekend and had a great christening.
Here are photos from our paddle around Horseshoe lake.
This first board is an all glass hollow board with carbon fiber internal supports.

It  is 12 feet long and 31.75 inches wide x 5.5 inches.
It is strong and rigid, also light for its size at 35 pounds.  Christa here is barely pressing it into the water with her pretty 110 pounds.  This board can easily handle riders in the 250 pound range.

Here I am paddling among the rushes.  My 190 pounds are getting the board into proper trim.

Here is a photo of the watertight deck compartment.
Great for storing the essentials (keys and phone).
Tie downs on the stern are great for securing anything else.

Hull #2 is carbon fiber

This was fun and scary.
Four yards of expensive CF cloth.  It came out great and is super light.
Here are photos of the second hull out of our 12 foot mold:

SUP: inner supports for the deck

We prepped the halves of the board for bonding and will put it together in the morning.
The deck has a gel coat finish and is a laminate of glass cloth set in epoxy.
It has bulking supports bonded in and these rest on carbon fiber tubes we make.

Here is a photo of the CF tubes bonded to the hull.  They are ready for the deck.
