Dude,get a wooden one,the fiberglass one could hurt you really bad i know,it hurts
If your ability is such that you are only good on wooden ones then yes but for most people fiberglass is faster. Both fiberglass and wooden boards suck, you should try either E-glass or Texilum boards, go to your local surf shop and ask if they have any Zap boards.

they dont make plastic skimboards but i think ur talkin about a fiberglass skimboard. advantages of a fiberglass skimboards are 1.)they go faster 2.)there easier to do tricks on and 3.) its easier to ride
I would think a fiberglass boat is better than a wooden boat because a wooden one can rot and would be hevy to move weres the fiberglass boat wont rot and is light so would be easy to move.
fiberglass skim boards are the way to go. Alot cheaper than kevlar boards. a 44" board is a little small but would work well for a light rider. The price really depends on the brand. Good brands to look out for are Victoria and triple x.
Fiberglass will be more durable, but can cost a bit more than spade handles.
Fiberglass handles are more weather resistant. They don't shrink, crack, rot, or loosen like wooden handles do when left out in the weather.
Wooden skimboards float but cannot ride on waves well because they do not float well with people on them, for that u would have to buy a fiberglass or a carbon skimboard. Some good sites to check that I use are; www.exileskimboards.com, www.zapskimboards.com, www.victoriaskimboards.com, or www.skimonline.com. But if you aren't that serious about skimming and just want to keep your wooden one, just stick to wet sand and the shallows brah.
fiberglass gives homeowners the durability of with many finish styles including EverWood Interior Finish, giving your home the real wood look for less.That is why fiberglass windows are more efficient than wooden windows.
Fiberglass is used for insulating wooden buildings because it is lightweight, easy to install, and has good thermal properties. It helps to regulate the temperature within the building by preventing heat loss in cold weather and heat gain in hot weather. Additionally, fiberglass is resistant to moisture and does not promote mold growth, making it a suitable choice for insulating wooden structures.

Most pole vault poles are fiberglass, yes. Some can be made of carbon fiber, which allows them to bend differently.
