SUP gear can get pretty pricey . . . so why not make your own? We wish it was that simple.
But the folks over at DIY Surf Gear are offering some great instruction on how to make your own wooden SUP paddle, and this is as simple, and high quality as someone with little to zero woodworking or gear construction could ask for.
This is a nice entry into the world of custom woodworking. It also provides a way for SUP enthusiasts to design quality paddles on a budget, or – better yet – design and build paddles as gifts or salable items. Wood paddles are great looking and typically of high quality and durability. Need some more inspiration? Watch the below video from the guys at SIC paddleboards in Maui. This is quite a leap from entry-level DIY stand up paddle construction, but it is definitely motivational footage for the rest of us. It shows the dedication and craftsmanship that goes into designing, building and riding downwind SUPs.
