No matter what question or request I come up with, the Jarvis crew is ready and able to help. In no time at all..!! A board builder, either amateur or better, would be a blasted fool to not use Jarvis for their needs, and for the gaps in their skills and knowledge.
Hey,
Everything's fine. I only have a problem with translating the guide. I wanted to put it in Microsoft's Copilot, but the PDF is in curves. Maybe you can send me a different type of file.

Thick, durable fabric that will definitely last and looks great!
My reviews have been posted to my YouTube channel where I have spotlighted the lumber from your mill.
Thanks again!!
You guys rock! Thanks again for another superb order of lumber. Its beautiful!!
I will be buying more kits from Jarvis
Beginning my 4th Jarvis board tomorrow! I love the ease of the frame construction and the ability to get creative after that. I get so many compliments on my boards, thanks to Jarvis Frames
Received my order in a timely fashion and everything was packed well. Can’t wait to get started on this project, right now I’m doing research on wood and getting my work table finished. The service from Jarvis Boards has been excellent.
There was a mixup on my order. Jarvis made it right at no charge to me. The prints are top quality. Thank You
Did this board over the winter for my wife to use. You don't need a lot of tools or years of woodworking experience to build one of these boards, just time and patience. It is very helpful to watch the online videos. You can customize the layout anyway you want to make it your own. I used 3/16" cedar on the bottom and 1/4" Cyprus, Mahogany and Walnut on the top, the rails are Cyprus and Mahogany 1/4". Personalizing decals with rice paper was also a neat idea, also hand carved the sea shell in the bow, I have paw prints on the top in memory of my best friend Calvin. We christened her on July 4th, 2024 at Lower Bolton Lake Ct. She paddles very smooth and stable with my wife on board (approx. 130#). I did try it and it still supported me at approx. 190# but sat lower in the water and not as stable. So I now have another project for the fall..........the 11' 4" model. Can't wait to start!!!!!
Thank you for such a great product.
The frame kit arrived promptly, and I had it fully assembled in just over an hour. I watched the entire series of YouTube videos that Jarvis has produced, and it gave me amazing results. The final coat of epoxy is just setting up a I write this, and I've already ordered another frame kit, so I can build the touring model. I can't wait to hit the water with my new board!
