Brian’s 12′ sup is made with reclaimed old growth cedar. About 300 years old, from the West Kootenay’s Duhamel Creek Basin. we were lucky to have found this precious cedar and happy to have passed it along to Brian.
OK, so once you get past the badly matched shirt & trunks, you can’t help but notice the stunning Kerr Board which I received as a wedding gift. I’d searched for months to find a classic SUP, ideally in wood (not a decal).

Steve Kerr's Handmade Paddleboards, Slocan, BC 
Our first contact w Steve was via this web page. We emailed questions several times, and his responses and information sent back were great. So much so that we purchased the board sight unseen! Steve went to great lengths to personally deliver the board to us in Kelowna for our wedding, a “mere” 340km from Nelson.
The board is MORE BEAUTIFUL than we imagined! Everyone commented on it, most saying it’s a work of art (which it is). The board is incredibly stable (at times I carried two children!) and true in the water. Several wedding guests who’d never SUP’d before were up & about immediately, with HUGE grins. Steve was very patient and took the time to educate me about the board, care & maintenance, fins, waxing, etc.
To top it off, Steve is a great guy and very personable. He even customized the board for us (we’ll send a pic). We invited him to have a bite with us at our post wedding BBQ.
Our Kerr board is definitely considered “one of the family” now, and we consider ourselves very fortunate to own such a masterpiece.
