Custom surfboard...... Extra strength where ?
So I'm going to bite the bullet and get a custom shaped board have found a good shaper.
the last few years I have been using kite specific surfboards and will probably continue to use them on and off.... But they are very stiff and for the price ( $1100-1200) I can probably buy two custom boards.... I have used my paddle boards a few times and they do feel a lot different (lighter/flexier etc...) but I am always tempted to jump them chop hop etc.... And they just don't stand up to hitting the choppy stuff .....Have broken two within a dozen session
So I need advise and a compromise...... (strapless so don't need extra strength for inserts or for massive torque)
I'm obviously thinking extra glass under feet...... Any advise as to weights etc.....
Is there anywhere else anyone would recommend adding strength..... Perhaps around fins or on the bottom to cope with constant riding/hitting chop
Probably going to go with carbon rails and stringer
Any advice appreciated breezers
