The light weight glass is likely plenty strong enough for strength, it's just not real abrasion resistant. If you're going to be dragging it up on the beach all the time, adding glass will help, if you carry into and out of the water it'll likely just add weight.

Glass will most definately take less epoxy than either Kevlar or carbon.
