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.

​Making a SUP Green.

'Tao' meaning balance, precision, and elegance.  
We strive to create the classic board with a twist.
Paddle Green.​

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.
