Greenlight blanks and fiberglass cloth

Post by slucepan »

Has any body used greenlight's surfboard blanks and or the bamboo cloth.
I noticed that they have 24 inch wide blanks with rather low tail rockers.

I was just wondering how many layers of bamboo cloth it would take to make a strong board. 8)

i was talking to them about the bamboo cloth and i got a sample of em to try it, which i haven't got around to yet. It feels heavier and is slightly when glassed. You stretch it to 20% larger then double side tape it to keep it in place. Use the same as a std. board 1 layer bottom 2 layers on the deck. Turns out a bit heavier supposed to be a bit stronger ???
Not sure about the blanks
once you've had black you'll never go back!!!

Would you still use a deck patch with this or is the bamboo strong enough to prevent knee dings?
How about a fin patch?
