Lemat is right about the longest distance to neutral gives most stifness, so adding to the center is most effective. (basic material mechanics)

I’m having a hard time understanding this… Do you guys have a link I could read or???

And yes, even a traditional PU surfboard is technically speaking a sandwich structure.
