Stand Up Paddleboard

Plywood 14' (3,55m) SUP and wooden paddle. Beautiful to look at, great to paddle including in the sea. Easy to carry.

Especially suited to fast, long distance paddling in swells. Light and strong. Plywood is protected by layer of glass fibre which also give tremendous strength yet keeps it light. Weight is 19kg. Great condition but some scratches, mostly on the bottom. I can quote to sand a paint if you want the totally perfect look.

I built her from a kit supplied by clcboats.com (Chesapeake Light Craft).

Watertight storage for keys and small items. Hatch cover seals with rubber gasket. Stunning wooden paddle included.

Today the wood part only kit (no glass fibre or epoxy etc.) excluding freight from USA would cost you $ 925. Paddle $300 completed and painted.

Check out what clcboats.com have to say about the Kaholo boards:

Why are Stand-Up Paddleboards all the rage? Because they're ridiculously fun, like walking on water. We made a lot of believers out of folks who have tried out our new Kaholo SUP kits at shows across the country.

It's taken five years and more prototypes than we care to count to refine the two Kaholo SUP boards. Working with surfing and paddleboard guru Larry Froley of Gray Whale Trading in California, we've created two beautiful hollow wooden boards with that rare quality of being fast enough to race but stable enough for first-timers. Tracking is great and a fine bow with kayak-derived shaping lifts the Kaholo 12-6 and 14 up and over waves. The tail shape and twin fins facilitate surfing on long swells once your skills build up to that.

With their uncanny speed, the Kaholo 12-6 and Kaholo 14 have found a following among racers. The 14 is better for larger paddlers (or those who might carry along dogs or small kids). The 12-6 is more compact, better for smaller-statured paddlers, and it fits in several increasingly popular racing classes.

There are no other SUP boards in the world that are easier for a first-time boatbuilder, or better-looking. But you don't give up one bit of performance if you build your own Kaholo
