From the Standup Zone.
Not sure about the paddle, but you can't use it backwards, which is good!

No dear, It doesnt fall to bits. At least the first one built on 2011 it is still being used and counting....
Check here for building them correctly

Ok, that's a cool idea, but $197 to get plans and materials to make a water bottle SUP seems a little steep? The selling point is we are apparently 'saving' money as SUPs cost $1500...... For chucks sake! It's a novelty water bottle board - great to make with the kids and have fun, but not to replace a board.
Good on them for finding a novel recycling use for water bottles, but I think the price point might be a be misguided.
Like I said tho.... Cool idea.

Grandma used to call me that too In the States everyone calls you Sir , I thought it was very polite. Even the homeless called me Sir. Im sure if I was robbed the thief would have said hand over your wallet please Sir.

Pretty cool you could travel to Bali without a board and make one from the bottles washed up on the beach and the girl in this pic is worth a post in the sexy Sups chicks thread. Thanks for the share.
