Hi all.  I am new here and new to the shaping world.  i plan to make a few SUPs (as well as surf and directional kiteboards) for the family and need some basic info to get going.

Are there any good books out there dedicated to SUP shaping and construction?  I am looking for info on shape and volume but also on foam type, density, stringers, glass weights and amounts, epoxy types etc...

My first SUP build will likely be a flat water yoga sup or a stable all arounder for yoga and the additional paddle into the ocean on a flat day.  Rider weights are 130-145 lbs with an occasional 30-40 lb toddler riding along.

The second one will be an all arounder for small waves and flat water cruising.

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction for construction methods and materials as i work out shape design details on shape3d.

THX
