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.

^^^^mate thats a bit technical for most of us, but i agree with your idea. you sound like you didnt make that up which helped my decision i would like to hear what cmc or the like would say |

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

Thanks for all the updates BigSpazz - you are a legend.
Can you please advise anymore details about this board? It looks very long and interesting - almost like one of LL's fav type of boards (hope not).
