HOW IT WORKS

1. Glue Frame Together

Using a hot glue gun, your Frame Kit pieces are assembled and the rocker tabs are glued to your work surface

2. Add Wood Strips

Whether using classic cedar decking or some other light weight wood, cut your boards into manageable 1-2" strips and glue them to your frame

3. SHAPE & SAND SMOOTH

Here you can use power tools (orbital sander, planer etc.) or hand tools (block plane, hand sand) to give your board its final shape and smoothness

4. ADD PLASTIC PARTS

Time to add a fin box, an air vent to allow your hollow board to breath, leash loop(s) to attaching your body or accessories to the board, and a handle for transporting

4. WATERPROOF WITH EPOXY

Working with fiberglass & epoxy is new for a lot of woodworkers. Don't fret, its one of the most rewarding stages as you make the wood grain pop with color and look like glass

6. RIDE WITH PRIDE

You've built your board and it's time for your maiden voyage. Enjoy paddling for years to come and share the joy of your build with others.
