In addition to the 14.5 foot cedar strip/epoxy Expedition SUP
design and the various models that have been developed based
on that hull we are designing a 12.5 foot model, the plan is
to offer a similar series of model options for the 12.5 as we
do for the 14.5. These
will 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 for those who may 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.
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 can be some
further variation of each model caused by the type of fin
chosen. Because of this please download a study plan to
investigate your options, as the choices made 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. Plans are nearing completion and
once we have the various versions of the board priced we will be
able to make these available. If you are interested in learning
more the study plan is now available for download from the study
plans page.

Light 3.8 Sport
This board is
unlike the others in the Northern Light series in that it has
been designed to have a fin box installed to allow for the use
of commercially available fins. This board also has a more
streamlined and more of a 'boat shaped' hull than the other
boards in the series.
