Just started cutting wood for my 11' SUP and just wanted to pint out to others starting this project that the materials list calls for 6" wide ply (150mm). I actually think you need slightly wider (6 1/2" would work). Being frugal with my marine ply I cut 6" strips (150mm) as per the instructions then after scarfing (but before glueing luckily) I dry assembled and layed the spline template on it, just to make sure - and it didn't fit.
I scratched my head, checked my measurements again, checked the materials list again but it definitely wasn't wide enough. I lined up the very edge of the tail and nose on one edge and the underside hung off the board - you need 6 1/2" - 7" wide board (I even checked the file in photoshop with the rulers).
I was able to get around it by slightly kicking out the short board at the scarf joint.
Just a heads up for anyone else about to cut their precious marine ply...
