I just used fiberglass to reinforce my longboard today. You can buy it in a woven cloth that is easier to handle and stronger. In that form I'd bet it's similar to CF, but CF weave is larger and would probably be much harder to work with because of that. I'd love to see how this turns out for you, since using CF to reinforce has crossed my mind a few times.
