Design of Hollow SUP and other boards on the trustworthy and very exceptional software called: Aku Shaper

With Aku Shaper I am able to quickly design and change features.

 

Adding Slices was the next step to the design process. These will be the ribs of the hollow board.

The next step in the design process is to build a hollow file template.

Once the hollowboard file is generated we print them off and are one step closer to working with the wood.

 

Start cutting out pieces, or if you have access; use a CNC

Jig  Saw and Scroll Saw for this process this time around.

 

 

 

 

 

Glue/splice the Spar section to its 11′ (used 8′ x4′ sheet of pine plywood for this. 1/4 inch.)

Arrange the ribs and spine and see the fishbone!

Drilled holes ti lighten the design, need to take more material on production boards. This one is just a proto.

 

 

 

 

Now it is time to work on Rails and strip the sides of the board.
