Malcolm,
I was afraid this would happen. My 17 year old daughter saw your board and now it looks like I am going to be making an SUP. Outdoor Retailer show is just a few weeks away and I could probably pick one up cheap but I must admit building one looks like a lot more fun. And I guess I really need to make 2 since one would not be much fun. So here I am in the middle of a desert thinking of adding some SUP's to my collection of 16 kayaks and 3 canoes. Would you build your design or the Lake Superior for inland lake use?

: Hello Ken,

: I would love to see you build a board. The Malco was designed for
: Wood Surfboard Supply and they sell the ribs for it. The CNC
: work is top notch. They cut the ribs for my boards- huge time
: saver. I recommend trying the kit. The Malco was designed in a
: board-specific program but I might be able to generate offsets,
: and can certainly do plans.

: Go to www.schweizersurf.com and click the contact link and email me
: so I have your email address. I am working on a displacement
: hull racing board and may do a wider version. It's more like a
: stand up kayak. The Malco is designed for paddling and surfing.
: It has a low volume tail for turning quick in surf. It also has
: a lot of rocker. You might want a flatter board or a
: displacement board.
