So my surfing buddy and I are close to hot wiring our first boards. Mine is a 6’0" retro fish (2.5" thick) and his is a 6’0" (3.0" thick) single fin egg. Both will be built from 2.5 EPS. Anyway, I haven’t done much research regarding cloth weight and the books I am using are pre-epoxy. Could you guys give me some basic recommendations for what weight to glass these in and maybe some online reading recommendations. We will be using RR resin.
Typical construction is 2 lb foam and 6oz glass, one layer bottom, two layers deck. With 2.5 lb. foam, you might be able to get away with a lighter glass bill… maybe 4oz bottom and 6x4 deck, but I’ve never done it. Maybe somebody else here has…
