Kneeboard Surfing USA Community Forum

for a kneeboard of course.

6oz bottom, 6oz top, 6oz patch in kneeling area?

I ask because I'm having board built and the suggested glass is 6 bottom, 2 X 6 top, 6 oz patch. Is this too heavy or okay? It's no gloss coat, S glass. I'll use a Cove pad - probably the thinner one but could go thicker if that would allow lighter glass.

I'm 6'3", 200lbs, basically always surf in a wetsuit.

thanks for your help!

If you're going 6oz bottom double 6oz top, you don't need a deck patch. Especially if you're going to put a pad on it. And you don't need the thicker pad.

Thanks -

So double 6 under the knees no matter how you get there. Any opinions on a patch vs the whole deck double 6? And how big is the deck patch generally - like from the front of the deck pad most of the way to the tail? Thanks!

My Pavel has 6 oz s glass bottom, double 6 oz s glass full top and no gloss. Plenty strong and not heavy.

I go with 6/4 plus 6 patch on top; 6/4 on bottom- Epoxy over Red foam. Not heavy at all and very durable.

I had a 4/4 epoxy with Red foam and I would go through the glass with my fingers on simple duck dives.
