Pygmy 11' All-Rounder Stand Up Paddle Board:
A TRUE "All-ROUND" STAND UP PADDLEBOARD (SUP): Based on classic long board designs “All-Round” SUPs (also known as Recreational SUPs) combine ease of paddling with stability and maneuverability. They are the “multitaskers” of the SUP world. Our new 11’ SUP with its classically beautiful lines fits the bill. Its length provides good glide and its rockered bottom and narrow tail give it good maneuverability. The shape, width and volume give it the stability needed to hold large paddlers steady and makes it great for beginners. While designed primarily as a flatwater board, its rockered bottom helps the board handle choppy afternoons and smaller playful waves. It’s great for ocean paddling, river running (class 2 and under), cruising, fishing, crabbing, and paddling tandem with a child or furry companion. Due to its length and width, it’s a popular choice for SUP Yoga enthusiasts.
THE PERFECT FAMILY BOARD: Stability and versatility make this board the perfect one-board choice for the whole family. With its flat deck, this user-friendly board provides a wide platform for a comfortable stance. We’ve taken it crabbing, on board a sailboat for some side adventures, paddled it on glassy days, in choppy swell and had a local yogini contort on deck. At its debut at the Port Townsend Woodenboat Festival the Pygmy 11’ SUP was the most stable kit board. It’s an ideal family board for beginner paddlers up to 250lb and advanced paddlers up to 300lb.
BUILD YOUR OWN PADDLEBOARD: Using stitch-and-glue construction with 3mm plywood and 4 ounce fiberglass cloth, this paddleboard comes together easily with no prior woodworking experience. The internal structure is composed of pre-cut wood stringers and cross-members making this board extra rigid for a sturdy feel under foot. From the entry-level paddler prioritizing stability to the advanced paddler who wants performance in a wide range of conditions (fishing or taking a companion) this is a fun all-round board that you can build!
**EPOXY NOTE: Please be sure to select the appropriate hardener for your working temperature. A 40 min working time for epoxy application is required when gluing the bottom of the SUP, therefore we recommend the following hardener types for these temperature ranges:
35-50 °F – Fast #1 hardener (at 50 the #1 should have a working time of ~37.5min)
50-65 °F – Med #2 hardener (at 65 the #2 should have a working time of 42min)
65-85 °F – slow #3 hardener (at 85 degrees the slow should have a working time of 36.75 min)
