Where we live, summer does not bode well for waves. In an act of desperation, my best friend Shannon Cupper and I decided that, although we weren’t skilled enough on a SUP to get in an actual line-up, we still needed to get on the water somehow. We looked into buying one, but being two horribly debt-entrenched blue collar types, we decided that (in a slightly inebriated state) building one was a much better plan. The idea to make it hollow came from a how-to book by Roy Stewart on how to build a Bob Simmons inspired surfboard. It hasn’t sunk yet!
