about 62 pounds per cubic foot of water dissplaced, foam 1.5 pound per cubic foot. 186 pounder, need about 3 cubic feet of foam foam 4" X 4' X 8' = 1/3 X 32 = 10 cubic feet per sheet, 1/2 a sheet good enough minus the weight of the foam it floats for sure
Dang. Thanks, for demoing my plan to make an sup. thinking fiberglass tubing to make it really strong. enough to mount a sail, dagger board and rudder. FR4 G10 fiber glass sheet is great for strength, cuts like wood. thanks
It makes some. I'm looking for 12'6" x 31" with a good rocker line, a keel, a reliefer on a tail, a desired shape, and good quality, and I can merely find one. Starting from 1200 eur. With proper tools and materials it's possible to build and to paint a totally custom SUP. But layers must go vertically, not horizontally (according to a force applied to avoid any dislayering or caverns)
What a great how to vid ,thanks for the inspiration, I'm gonna make one
Thanks for the comment - glad I could give you some good info.
Very cool! I can’t wait to see how it does when someone stands on it and see if it will still float on water!
I use it all the time!

Those aren’t 4” sheets

Very familiar with g-10, Sounds like a great idea.
Thanks
48 In wide ??? No one can paddle that lol
I've paddled it for several months. Just looking to get out on the water on a stable platform. That's what I got.
Well!!????
Thanks for the comments!
Way to much foam .
Maybe so - Gorilla Glue worked better, as the foam didn't want to spread out
@@arichardofalltrades6770 A big mess imho. What if you use a dense grid pattern instead?
really no sense!!!!
No, really sense!
