kobiyachi the only board i have re glassed is a longreef hard core, you will find the glass will peel off like peeling a boiled potato, just need to reshape no need for a sandwich and move the track and footstraps back
ive got one at WS&S that i will have to pic up, the board cost $100 with a fin, pads& strapps, it cames with a power box that will be replaced wit a tuttle,

i feel there's no point in going to the trouble of reshapeing a current design because at second hand there sooooooooooooo cheep

the main objective of doing the next board is to design a fin box that can be totally trashed but wont let water into the core, as well as long enough to have a weed fin set 40mm in front of the cavity and you wont damage your board getting the fin out
all the best with your project if you need any help there's heaps of guys on this site that will give you advise
