So what's the started advice? classic single or ur mabile? size?
They are different boards for sure. As you can see on this thread everyone has an opinion and all are good. Really personal preference and would hit up the Shaper of good ones and go off what they say.

Honestly, you should call Bob Mitsven, he does a lot of them and is such a nice guy he would be happy to talk about getting you the right size/ style glider. I emailed him about how short I could go on the mini glider and he called me within 45 sec and talked for 10 min about it. I have 5 of his boards now, all fantastic. He's a true craftsman.

What is the standard glass schedule on these?

no idea but well glassed. I beat up boards pretty bad and mine still looks new but forming some pressure wells.

Stringer?

single but triple would be ideal.

Transport method?

carry, you can get your arm around one. it's heavy but not too bad.

RE: transport - I'm asking in term of vehicle

I'm wondering if they're prone to stress cracking if not glassed with volan or without a really wide support base.

most of them prolly have a bit less catalyst for more working time saturating the thicker cloths

And GG has mentioned before how glossed boards are much stronger
