Hi,

New here, so be gentle

I'm just getting into SUP after a lot of kayaking, and saw articles on street SUP in a couple of mags. Would love to give it a go, so been reading through these forums about wheels, trucks, bearings, boards, etc.

Being low on funds but high on DIY skills (currently building a SUP), I'd be interested in making a street board.

Are plans/dimensions available anywhere, or is it a matter of just basing a shape on the size of boards out there? Really just need a starting point.

Where do those who have made their boards on here get inspiration, designs, etc?

Thanks in advance. Promise I'll post pics of my build when I do it.

Thanks,
Darren

Love my homemade deck, was shaped on a Sector 9 template simply drawn around the outline of the original. Used flat solid Canadian Maple, which has a nice feel to it without too much stiffness or flex. Also copied the hole placenemts for the trucks, as I liked the feel of the original. And knowing it's a one of a kind, just adds to the fun. Good luck and post progress pictures. And welcome.

Hi,

Thanks - Chrispy, Silverfish had everything I'm after, great forums and good template library I can print & trace. Perfect!

Nice boards Jason. Will ensure I post pics when I get into it. Got to finish my 'real' SUP first...

Regards,
Darren
