In addition to the 14.5 foot cedar strip/epoxy Expedition SUP design and the various models developed based on that hull we are at work designing a 12.5 foot model, the plan is to offer a similar series of options for the 12.5 as we do for the 14.5. These are only be available as kits, the construction method for the structure does not lend itself to being cut by hand, and CNC cutting greatly eases the building process. Kits contain in addition to the parts required for the build a CNC cut mold system. Kit contents can range from the CNC cut parts for the mold and structure to complete kits that contain all the pieces required to build the model you choose.

We have written an addendum to the plans sets for the stitch and glue SUPS for those who wish to add a cedar strip deck in place of the plywood deck that is included in a standard kit. Changing the deck will result in a increase in the weight of the board, those wishing to compromise between weight gain and the ability to customize their SUP may wish to opt for just changing the fore deck to cedar. Contact us for pricing on customized boards.

Expedition/Explorer/Excursion 14.5

 The three Sup's listed above are all based on the same hull, the differences are in  the deck is layout. There is further variation of each model caused by the type of fin the board is to be equipped with. Be sure to download a study plan to investigate your options, as the choices influence the contents of the kits and it ranges from difficult to impossible to build another version of the SUP from a kit designed for a different model.
