I taking my shaped blank “first one” to the glass shop tomorrow it’s 7’6" egg or at least my best impersonation of one I’m going to have glassed on thruster set up but what weight glass top and bottom I want it to last and plan on having the works “gloss, polish” so there will be weight there I’m 47 and my Idea of ripin and carvin these day’s are a little toned down or it’s motrin with a flexeril back anyway any advice would be great, when I get it back I’ll post a pic. Thanks again to swaylocks I never would have tried this if it was’nt for this site and all you guys. “Stoke more than ever” J.B.

Not the lightest glass job but all 4oz is just not durable. You caould always have them throw on a extra patch of cloth at the tail where your back foot goes for added strength. Just my opinion. Thats how I’d glass it.
congratulations on your first shape! when i first read your question, i thought 6+6/6, but Fort Bragg’s 6+4/6 sounds okay too.
i’d do either all 6oz or 4+6 top and6 bottom. i’d also get a single fin with a box, not a thruster. or, actually, try a box in the middle and fcs on the sides. that way you have the option. but i think a single fin fits the egg boards much better than a thruster setup would. -steve
J.B. go with 6-4 top and 6 bottom. Steve’s fin set up is right on. I’m a 50 year old surfer who surf’s eggs most of the time and the glass job and fin set up will work good for you. I have to say though that I’m really into a 6’ fish right now. I dying to put some of Herbs supercharger on the fish so Herb if you reading this e-mail me your e-mail address and lets
