After reading all the good reviews, I want to give it a try, and was going to take a baby step and just install enough for a stompad. I have already laminated the board, and was just going to rough up the deck and epoxy it on.
Do it. I’ve had a cork with outer glass for 2 years and it’s held up great. Just got my first cork with exposed glass and only have 2 sessions on it but am loving it so far. No problems with a wetsuit. One way I noticed the cork slipping was when you’d try and jam the board into the wave and try a late no-paddle takeoff. Board shot out from under me twice. Other than that, it’s worked out great.
Stupid EXIF data, I’ll rotate the image later when I have time. BTW, it’s a 5’8 x 21 x 2 3/8
