Good heavy Volan

What’s a good & heavy typical Volan glass job consist of for a longboard: 2 layers 7/5oz Volan on deck and 1 layer 7.5oz on bottom? This would be going over a Clarkfoam Supergreen blank. Thanks.

I also have my classic boards done with 2 layers top and bottom, and a fin patch on the bottom tail. Then I love a deck patch cut at an angle so that it has a point at the center stringer on both ends. Now that is what a classic should look like. I say look because you will be able to see all of it. If I’m trying to save weight I go for 1 volan on the deck with a 6 normal glass under that and a volan on the bottom, leave off the rest. It will look nice but not be as heavy. (about 1 or 2 lbs less)

Heavy is good for a longboard, at least a real longboard, a classic. I have a ten foot noserider, super wide front, middle, and back, and has two layers of volan on top and one on bottom (7.5 ounce). It glides soooooooo smooooooooooth, and gets in early. Plus, after riding one for a few weeks, you learn to swing it around (almost) as quickly as a light nine footer. Plus, it gets in easier on those days that have the really powerful offshore winds. The icing on the cake is the ten inch Wingnut Bid Daddy fin I have in it, made by Fins Unlimited. The base of the fin takes up every single inch of the fin box. It’s a monster. The fin is so big, in fact, that when the board is lying on the beach, people think it’s an eight foot board. I tell them it’s ten foot and they never believe me, because the fin makes it look smaller. Ask any honest woman. Size matters.
