higher stength/weight ratio mean nothing. Wich strengh do you speak about ?. In a composit fiber strengh play mostly when composit experiment tensil stress lengthwise of fiber, matrix just have to be able to elongate more than fober before break. For other stress matrix plays the leading role. Surfboard suffer more from buckling and puncture, where thickness is a main factor. That’s way low tech cheap plastic fiber, from polyester familly, are use for bulck laminate effectively.
