Shine,
You mentioned filling the 1st prototype with foam and finishing it.
Does filling with foam get rid of the need for a vent plug?
Thanks,
Paul

Thanks for the reply
Re: SUP prototype build
Any Progress?
I had the chance to go kayak fishing this weekend down at Rockport/Port Aransas, and now I am very interested in the plans for this type of boat.

It's at a stand still: I am working on the catamaran and Joel is busy with some vacuum bagging project plus the Seacraft.
As soon as I finish the cat, we'll work on it.

Re: SUP prototype build
BTW - the Cat looks great, but for me that is a project that is a long way away. A kayak, I might be able to start this winter, while I am still working on my OD18.
Keep up the good work and I will keep watching

Re: SUP prototype build
I am trying to decide whether to foam or not when I start my build. With some quick calc, guessing the ft3, for my homemade plans, it looks like 20lbs of foam? 11 cubic feet = 22 lbs foam. that is a big weight increase. maybe I will try a vent.
Re: SUP prototype build
Yes, foam is too heavy for the SUP.
We wanted to test gluing the deck to foam.
