never know could be the next revolution

OK I am new here and don't know sweet f.a about surfboards but do about other composite contruction and windsurf boards.
I guess this thread was started as you are worried a bit about if a long board is made with same glass layup as say
a 7' or 8' board it may snap easier? And if glassed heavier to be strong enough it may be a bit heavy?
Are really long boards usually glassed heavier?

If so, would it not be better to use a stringer that is stronger for same weight (or less)?
Then you can glass the board the same as any other.

I am thinking Nomex honeycomb with a layer of carbon each side (I have done that for other projects and it is stiff as hell) - but that would be really pricey.
Alternatively divinycell and carbon laminate.
Both would be about 5mm thick and stiffer than ply, with same or less weight.

Your board is looking pretty good Spazz. It looks like its going to be clear ? That deck patch and stringer look good. Keep the pics coming.

Too stiff Mark, they need flex. Cool idea tho.
