I once tried to make a SOF paddle board. Of course I had absolutely no clue what I was doing and it showed. I tried to make a flat kayak. In the end it was way to skinny and got turned into fire wood. The problem to me is the curvature of the bow. They are really wide with a real sharp bend at the bow. I really don't know the rocker of a SUP but it would seem that making plywood cross sections, a 1/4 plywood platform and and laminated "gunwales" would be how its done. In the end, the question begs, why not just make it stitch and glue.
