646 feels like normal PU 444 weight to me. I had a Varial glassed 444 for a while that I sold still brand new. Felt too light. 444 varial be fun for like a plasmic or small wave setup, but for a shortboard it felt crazy light. I would probably never get 444 varial, 44 deck and 6 underneath at a bare minimumSo no ride diffefence? Interesting.
I like the poly varials I have but might Try epoxy for the added durability.
I was also thinking 64/6 layup, I’ve only ridden 44/4. Any thoughts from those who’ve had both?
