carbon stand up paddle board

Cut away view.

This is just a quick design of a stand up paddle board (SUP). It's designed to be completely made from carbon fiber.

Internal skeletal structure.

The internal skeletal structure is made from interlocked sheets cut boards.

Bottom surface added to skeletal structure.

There are two exterior surfaces that are pre-molded before assembly. Everything is glued together with structural adhesive.

Completed SUP.

The top surface is colored white to keep the board cool.

Side profile.

Bottom view.
Given the construction and materials, this should be fairly light and buoyant.
