Don't ask for general consensus, that would take all of the fun out of it.
I have done both, I don't know which is best. There are only few things that I have learned from experience that I would claim to always be correct, these are some that come to mind. Always look upstream if you pull off a river to take a whiz. Family and friends matter more than work. If you build a cedar strip SUP with a teenage daughter add about six months to the build time to allow for social life. Any yard work is better than an afternoon at the mall. The fact that 97% of treadmills are not used after the first 60 days of purchase is not due to lack of discipline as much as a lack of creativity (go buy a watermelon and see what you can do with a treadmill, some great physics experiments, a few lessons in chaos theory) if you don't like physics you can use a grasshopper or your wife’s cat and try some biology experiments.

: I've read that some people do and some people don't glass
: up/over/under the coaming lip.
: From the things I've read the people who don't do it say it's fine
: and the glass is overkill, and the people who do would never
: not. Some just glass the top of the lip but not over and
: under... What is the general consensus on this?

: Seems a few coats of epoxy could perhaps be strong enough, but
: maybe I'm putting to much faith into the epoxy oak combo..
: I'm a little scared to attempt glassing the thing due to the
: complex curves and my relative inexperience with fiberglass (it
: looks to good to mess up).
: My riser is vertical strips with 2 layers of 6oz glass on the
: outside, and one layer on the inside.
: The lip is 6 layers of 1/8X1/4 oak laminated together with epoxy
: and glued on the riser with thickened epoxy.
