My Next Repair
This one was cracking across the deck. Digging in I found impact damage completely hidden by the (oddly) flexible paint on top. The crack started out across the deck from this point.

The crack went all the way through the glass and all the way through the PVC below. The styro was unaffected but the incredibly thin layer of glass between the styro and pvc is very fragile. It's a bit wet in there too so I'm letting it dry out for a few weeks.

The repair plan is to put in a layer of glass in the bottom of the now cleaned out area followed by 3mm Corecell. Then some layers of glass over the top radiating out over the surrounding deck in the normal way.

The main question is would it be worth stretching the final layer of glass over the corresponding area on the other side of the deck to make the area of reinforcement symmetrical?

Best Practice Board Layup for Strength
Following on from the board strength thread, I'm looking for opinions on what would be current best practice layup for an open ocean freeride board. It has to be strong and durable and flexible enough to soak up the bumps. Ultra light weight is not a driving factor so for a 100 litre board we might aim for the mid 7kg mark?
