Strip: Calculating how much wood to buy

Hey all,

I'm buying cedar boards for a Fire Star baidarka, and I'm wondering how I calculate how much wood to get. I may need to drive a couple hours to pick it up, so I'd greatly prefer to make one trip.

I'll be sticking with 8-10' boards if it matters.

Thanks!
