Stand Up Paddle Board
Hi MIK, these strange things are very popular. Since you have a windsurfing board in your design portfolio, a Standup Board would be straight forward. Using the Quickcanoe style build it might be a popular plan.
Might get me on the water on very still days!!!
This is the CLC KAHOLO

This is definitely a proliferating sport. I saw it frequently enough when living in Seattle, and even now my bro is hooked in CT, though he recycles his windsurfing board for it. This is the reason my local lumberyard started supplying Paulownia.
I heard a rumor that Michalak might have one in the works.
I perceive market saturation between commercially built ones and a nice selection of homemade kits and plans, but what the hell do I know. Of course that being said, CLC is selling them like HOTCAKES, apparently. Interesting for sure.

Hi Callsign, what do you think about the structure in that CLC jobbie? I like the lines of it a lot.

Yeah, hurry up MIK... I'd like to do one over the December break. (seriously! 'insert serious face smilie designed to make boat designer do what I want')
The Burley Griffin Canoe club had a 24 hour challenge recently which included SUPB's.
" Oz SUP Centre took out the 12’6 and under category with an amazing 166.5 kilometres before handicaps. It’s hard to say what they had over the second place getters High Country SUP who came in only 9 k’s off the pace. Some say it was discipline at transition, some say good looks. My guess is the intimidation factor from hearing the boat number “WWOORRNN, WWOORRNN, WWOORRNN” (111) every time Dave came through transition during the night. Or it could have been the micro massages he was giving the officials ;-). Great work "
166.5 km's in 24 hours on a SUPB... 'not bad'.
Kayak team seems to have done 229.5km's, if I read the results right.

There was a reference in the storerboats forum about on of the 'Mericans" being able to get paulownia - a timberyard was stocking it - in the last month or so.
In Australia there are suppliers in NSW, Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Queensland.
I couldn't find the supplier in the USA, but now there are some resources on the net.
American Paulownia Association
It has been used on PDRacers and Goat Island skiffs in areas where it won't be hit by flying objects (or floating objects) and has been absolutely fine. Also has been successful in strip planked boats of a smaller size.
I have some info on my FAQ about use.

Goose Bay Lumber, in Chichester, NH
Very nice guys, easy to work with, good selection of wood, I think the lumber yard owner is quite the boating guy, he carries some epoxy, some boat mags, and sells SUP kits too.

I thought he was Queensland, because the Queenslanders started buying his stuff first. Everyone has been really happy with his wood and his help.
I've changed my post to include NSW.

You can do this standing
Believe it or not that is an inflatable board!
this is a Uk webstore STARBOARD
Chap who just mended my son's drysuit races SUPB. A US imported downwind carbon raceboard would cost over £3k.

Full body workout standing, you really move along, better visibility and in clear waters you can take witness to all sorts of nifty things under you. Not as wet, either!

And with the sun behind it looks like you are walking on water.
