Kaholo Stand-Up Paddleboard 12-6
Designed by John C. Harris
A 12 ft 6 in hollow wooden stand-up paddleboard designed by John C. Harris of Chesapeake Light Craft with input from paddleboard specialist Larry Froley, sold as plans and kits. It is the more compact of the two Kaholo boards, suited to smaller paddlers and to 12 ft 6 in race classes. Okoume plywood is stitched and glued over an internal grid of bulkheads and stiffeners, then glassed. It is 29-3/4 in wide at the rail, weighs about 29 lb and carries 220 lb. A hybrid kit with a cedar-strip deck is also offered.
CLC rates it a beginner project and estimates 70 hours. An optional fin box has to go in during the build. Hours recorded by builders of this board are shown below.
What building a Kaholo Stand-Up Paddleboard 12-6 actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
