First Try HWS

After sitting in my shed all sanded while i studied/worked/fathered all winter. I finally took the luan hws to get glassed. Very reasonable price considering the price of materials and the margin for error i would have required. Going to pick it up this weekend and take for ride. Nervous about the weight though. The glasser said he thought it was about (gulp)26lbs all finished. Any thoughts on how 7’3" single fin of that weight will ride. Not sure how it got so heavy. Solid rails i guess didnt help
