Hi,

New here, so be gentle

I'm just getting into SUP after a lot of kayaking, and saw articles on street SUP in a couple of mags. Would love to give it a go, so been reading through these forums about wheels, trucks, bearings, boards, etc.

Being low on funds but high on DIY skills (currently building a SUP), I'd be interested in making a street board.

Are plans/dimensions available anywhere, or is it a matter of just basing a shape on the size of boards out there? Really just need a starting point.

Where do those who have made their boards on here get inspiration, designs, etc?

Thanks in advance. Promise I'll post pics of my build when I do it.

Thanks,
Darren

mate go log onto silverfish longboarding forums. they have more info than you will ever need. also have plan shapes,how to and all that jazz for handy people like yourself good luck and make sure you post some pics for us all to drool over

Love my homemade deck, was shaped on a Sector 9 template simply drawn around the outline of the original. Used flat solid Canadian Maple, which has a nice feel to it without too much stiffness or flex. Also copied the hole placenemts for the trucks, as I liked the feel of the original. And knowing it's a one of a kind, just adds to the fun. Good luck and post progress pictures. And welcome.

Hi,

Thanks - Chrispy, Silverfish had everything I'm after, great forums and good template library I can print & trace. Perfect!

Nice boards Jason. Will ensure I post pics when I get into it. Got to finish my 'real' SUP first...

Regards,
Darren
