How to Build a Wooden Paddle Board

Looking for a new hobby? Perhaps you’ve made a wood kayak kit or a cedar strip canoe in the past? Maybe you are a woodworker that loves the outdoors and are looking for a new fun woodworking project for the winter. You’ve come to the right place!


Building your own paddle board is an excellent way to spend time with friends and family. It’s also a great way to get some exercise, learn about the outdoors, and make something beautiful that you can use for years to come. With our wood paddle board plans and kits, it’s easy! We have all the instructions you need in order to build your very own wooden paddle board.


One of the best things about building your own wood paddle board is the fact that you can customize it to fit you! Our wood paddle board kits include the hollow interior structure and finishing supplies. In doing so, you are free to choose the color and types of wood that you want to use to create the outer skin and character of your wooden paddle board. Most people source this wood from their local hardware store such as Lowes or Homedepot.


Not convinced? Take a look at some of the wood SUPs that others have made using our DIY kits. While some builders had experience building a wood surfboard kit prior to tackling our paddle board plans, the majority had no experience at all! You don't need any special experience or special skills - just follow our detailed instructions and enjoy building this project with someone you love! The end result will be worth all of your hard work - not only will you have built something cool but it's going to last forever too!

wood paddle board kits and plans

We’ve made it easy to get started building your own wood paddle board. We offer 3 ways to get started. Most people start with our wooden paddle board frame. This precision cut frame will ensure that your build starts off perfectly from the start. If you are looking for a more turnkey wood sup kit, you can start with our complete kit which can be found here. Builders that start with the complete kit will only need to source their favorite wood for the outer skins from their local hardware store. If you're main concern is budget, then you can start with our digital or paper plans. This is the most economical way to build your own paddle board, but will add some time to your build.
