Meant to mention, if you are interested in this type of board send Tom a question from his web site
He's far more qualified to articulate the boards qualities than me

Thanks for the reply GWat.

Sound like an interesting board and they look amazing...

I have a glass Wegener. Very nice board to surf and would love to trade up for a wood one.

Great work AL. Bringing back a few memories.
Good to see someone was smart enough to take a camera.. Iphones are rubbish for taking board photos...


Now how is your new one going???
