Hello Ian,
I will post here when I get the frame put together, and maybe a few pics through the build stage. When I finally sort out the issues with my website it will be posted there as a complete step-by-step, start to finish build. www.schweizersurf.com/forum Right now that link will not work. I got hacked and have to reload the files to the site and that is turning out to be a pain in the butt!!! Also I will post on my facebook page for Schweizer Surfboards.

My travels have been keeping me very busy lately and when I'm home I seem to be playing mechanic more than designer or woodworker! The first CNC prototype is being routed and hopefully I will start building shortly. At the same time I also need to reskin my kayak and fix another SUP that I slammed into the reef (along with my ribcage). Does it ever end?

As I said, this is a very "kayaky" SUP. In fact it will have deck hatches for gear stowage. It will be built just like a kayak minus the hole in the middle!
