Launched my new 480 flat water board today


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).
