There is something magical about creating something with your own two hands. Building your own hollow core paddle board will be one of the most rewarding projects that you'll tackle.

At Jarvis Boards, we've made over a 1,000 wooden paddle boards for customers all around the world. We've distilled the knowledge gained into DIY paddle boards kits that can be made at home.

Our Locally Grown Complete Kit includes the following items:

• Laser Cut Frame Kit
• Epoxy (We don't ship Epoxy to Canada because it is Hazmat).
• Glassing Supplies (Mixing cups, gloves, brushes)
• Fiberglass cloth (9 yards, 38" width)
• Plastic Parts (Fin box, Leash Plugs, and vents)
• Custom Graphics Kit
• Waterproof Polyurethane Glue

• Our builders come to us with a wide range of skill sets and needs for building their own board. Because of this, we offer a range of paddle board ordering options ranging from digital plans, paper plans, frame kits and locally grown kits which includes everything that you need to build a board except the outer wood for the skins.

  Our Frame Kits are our most popular option as they save the first time builder considerable time in pre-cutting their own frame and ensure accuracy.

  Our locally grown kits features everything needed to build your board except tools and the wood for the decks and rails.

• We designed our kits to make them as easy as possible for the first time builder with a limited number of tools.

  Do I need to build a special table? - No! We’ve designed our kits so that you don’t need to create a special “rocker table” which only adds costs and time to your build.

  Do you have the wood for the skins available? - Yes, you can choose either strips or planks of our Pre-milled Paulownia wood.

  What instructions can you provide?- We started out just like you building boards and boats one at a time in a two car garage so we know exactly the concerns that you have. "Can I really do this?" The answer is yes! We’ve created a number of options to help provide instructions including, a how to book, an online web course, one on one direct video coaching.
