Local. Sustainable. Recycled. Inspired.
Every Tao Board is intricately designed, visually balanced, and solidly made from artfully refined recycled materials. We re-purpose wood pallets and culled wood, into unique, yet classic, stand up paddle boards. We stay green in the finishing process by utilizing eco-friendly finishes and fiberglass resin.
Why A Wood SUP?
We understand a wood Stand Up Paddle board is a larger investment over a similar sized foam-core board, however it has several winning attributes over its foam-core cousin. A wood SUP will last years longer and is a work of art that will get you noticed every time you're on the water. While wood boards will weigh more than foam-core board when maneuvering from the car to the shore, they will track straighter and faster, and will handle rougher water smoother than the lighter weight foam core board.

The Boards:Paddle on something unique and special. We use only locally sourced reclaimed or sustainable harvested wood and eco-friendly finishes to create amazing Stand Up Paddle boards. We have two board styles available in three lengths, which can be custom designed with select wood patterns and species. Contact us today to place your order.
Our 12' SUP's are awesome all-around boards designed for stand up paddling which requires maximum flotation and stability. The relaxed rocker at both ends of the board allow for catching waves with trim capabilities on the flat water. The nose is shaped round and full coming down to a full tail which will allow for heavy storage
for longer paddles. Single fin setup with a brass vent plug on the deck. The thickness comes in at 4 -3/4'' with a width of 30''. Two layers of fiberglass protection make this board bomber to whatever happens on the water or land.
