I probably wouldn't weight it, particularly if it is turned to the CCBC dimensions. The red and white one Flap showed wasn't weighted and fished very well. I'd rig it and use large hooks to bring the weight up some.
If you do weight it, I'd put it all at the fat point and none in the tail. I tried tail weighting one of these and thought it hurt the action quite a bit. I think these surfster designs tend to pivot off that wide lip rather than around the belly like a danny, and the more weight you put further back from that lip the more the action suffers. However, I never experimented with them very much so I'm not sure.
