Bostwick Lake Log

Just finished and delivered a new board to Bostwick Lake last night. It's 12'x32"  with a cedar top deck and poplar bottom. THe tail block is made up of cedar cutoffs from the deck and balsa for a little contrast. Took it out for a qiuck spin before handing it off anf I was very pleased with it, great glide, easy handling, stable and pretty quick.
This is the 4th wood SUP I've made now and everyone is as exciting to ride as the first. 
You'll have to bear with the sidways photos, For some reason my wifes camera always transfers them this way and they are not able to be rotated. If any one has a solution to this let me know.

It's been almost a year since I have posted anything on here which is embarassing. But it's been a pretty busy year in the shop. So here are a few pictures for your viewing pleasure of projects that have been completed and projects that are in progress. Keep checking in in the future for updates on all the happenings.


These two boards were made this spring for some friends for out on Bostwick Lake, the green one is 10'2"x32" and the blue one is 11'6"x 32 Both boards are a blast on the water!



This is the board I made for my wife, she paddles it at least 3-4 time a week right now. I'm pretty sure she is going to go into withdrawl siezures this winter when  everything freezes over.


This is a Paddle  that I made for a friend in Florida this spring.I made her an 11' Hollow wood SUP this winter. Since she's received it she has paddled with Dolphins, Rays, and all kinds of schools of fish, along with the ocasional surf session on the Gulf.



Also on the work benches right now are 2 paipos a 12' hollow wood paddle board for a customer and an 8-0 single fin for surfing lake michigan this fall. I'll work on putting up pictures in the next few days.

On top of all of that we've been asked to make some paddles for awards to be given at the TC waterman Challenge, which is home to the WPA midwest championships. I feel honored to be able to participate in this event this way.
