hollow wood build
« on: April 29, 2021, 10:01:59 AM »
Hi all, this is my first post and after reading through and seeing all the helpful advice on here thought I would post my question.
I have built a couple hollow wood SUP's from kits, and looking to build a wakesurf board now, I can't seem to find any plans or kits wondering if anyone knows of any company that sells kits or knows of anyone who has designed one and has the plans for the hollow wood frame.
Alternatively I have been looking at some software, AKU shaper, but not sure if that will help as I would need to be able to to dervice the hollow core frame from the plans.

If anyone has any exoerience or advice on this I am all ears.
Thanks,

TallDude

I've wakeboarded with a buddy of my who pretty much lives on the lake and has crazy jumping & looping skills. He rides a flat piece of wood that is shaped like a wakeboard barefoot and does all the tricks on it. I think they call them Wake Skates? If you were to make a glassed over foam board, it would have to be 100% Divinycell foam. I would think out of wood there would not be much actual hollow space?
It's not overhead to me!
8'8" L-41 ST and a whole pile of boards I rarely use.

If you have built a few sup boards already a wakesurf should be easier i would think. Not sure of the actual dims but could it be a solid board.
 Shape 3D has a hollow board function in the paid version. You can take a 1 month license for not too much.
 What SUPs did you make?

Thanks, I'll check out Shape 3D, its not the building it that is the issue its finding the plans, the SUP's Ive built have been a Tucker kit and a Jarvis kit, where the frame comes to you after being cut on a CNC.  I can cut out the frame myself but need the template or plans first, I know there are some companies out there that build Hollow wood wakesurfs but they don't seem interested in selling me their plans.
Solid is an option, but I don't have any experience shaping a board freehand so wouldn;t know where to start.
