What’s more important to you, performance (light weight) or longevity (heavy weight)? 1 to 10 (1=performance, 10=longevity) How would you rate your needs? I’m no expert, but these are the basics. -Noodle

Also, I didn’t see a anything designating the glass coating, “E”,“S”, or volan. Any of these would be good, but I suppose they could slip in a ringer. Can you ask?

Check with other surfboard suppliers before buying what looks like a good deal. That persons kelvar and carbon are way over priced.>>> Is thsi stuff decent for reglassing a longboard?>>> http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1181763873>>> The price seems decent. 5 Oz. fiberglass.

Noodle - Thanks. Here’s the info. What density blank are you using? Standard weight>>> How much do you weigh? 185lbs>>> What’s more important to you, performance (light weight) or longevity > (heavy weight)? I’d balance that about 50%/50%>>> 1 to 10 (1=performance, 10=longevity) How would you rate your needs? Well umm, if I had my way 10 for performance and 10 for longevity but these things are mutualy exclusive, no?>>> I’m no expert, but these are the basics. I’ve read your posts – you’re more of an expert than me! So Thanks.>>> -Noodle

My first response is to use 12 yards of volan.That willgive you strength,flexibility(it will dent on impact rather than shatter) and longevity. make sure the resin is squeegeed and brushed bone dry.Too much resin residue will make it brittle and possibly crack and eleminate some of it’s flexing characteristics.After reading another post, it sounds like you are considering carbon glass,which will allow you to use a lightet weight eg, 5oz., however carbon will be very stiff, plus it can be t4ricky to work with.The only people i know who have worked with carbon glass extensively is G.Greenough and P. Gross.If you decide on carbon you might want to pick PG’s mind. you can reach him by going on to Blast Kneeboards Hawaii and get his e-mail address there.Good luck!
