Troy and his recycled SUP

" Hi Grant, Here are a few pics of a 10'8" SUP I just laminated. The deck and bottom are made of recycled cedar fence boards from one of my landscape client's old fence. I was building them a new one of corrugated steel and bamboo, and while working on that, kept eyeballing the old boards. The owner asked us to take them away, so off they went to await their metamorphosis. Combined with Paulownia (rails, nose and tail blocks) and a bit of mahogany and redwood, it looks sweet. "









Troy seems to always be building another SUP , in fact he builds more than anyone I know of. So if you need some pointers contact him : lefthandman@mac.com

Wooden Surfboard Day today , Sunday 9th August

Well today is the day and as I fired up the Mac to check emails , this is what was on screen. Troy makes some nice boards in Austin Texas USA and it's great to have support from around the world. I hope that this is the start of something and that you guys out there organise wooden surfboard days in your neck of the woods.

Thanks Troy for your support, I look forward to meeting you sometime.
