BUILD FROM PLANS AND FULL SIZE PATTERNS IN WOOD / EPOXY
CLC Kaholo 12-6
Builder Name:
George Brindle
A fun and easy winter season build of the Chesapeake Light Craft Paddleboard from plans and a frame kit. I really wanted some colours that popped, hence the orange patterned cloth and blue grip pads. Total build time was probably less than 75 hours.
