Downloadable Board Plans- Bead & Cove Construction

If you don't need the guidance and support that comes with a full surfboard kit, we've developed a complete set of downloadable plans (available as a PDF, not a CNC cut file) that will get you well on your way to a great board. 

Our plans include full-scale keel and frames, nose and tail templates, board outline, and a few construction detail notes. These frames and keel are the inside shape of the board, accounting for a 1/4" plank and rail thickness construction to be added back to the board and include notches, lightening holes, finbox locations and more. Buy your own spray adhesive, jigsaw and plywood, and get creative with re-purposed or reclaimed wood.

NOTE:  These plans do not come with specific instructions as they are designed to use a simple Bead and Cove construction method. 

NOTE: This a PDF, it is NOT a cut file to be run on a CNC machine. 

SOMETHING YOU NEED TO KNOW: We designed these Board Plans for a limited number of builders, they are NOT for everyone. We intend them to help those who:

·Have some unique construction ideas and just need a frameset of a proven shape to get started

·Just like to figure things out on their own

Please consider carefully whether you can manage to build your own with no guidance other than your own experience and ingenuity. 

For those who haven’t built a board like this before, we recommend starting with a complete CorkRail Kit or by joining us for a workshop.
