Specs are :-
Prior board
176cm
built for 179 lbs
Carbon Kevlar
18cm waist
22.5 nose / tail
GS symetrical
There's a tiny ding on the tail that was repaired years ago. There are p-tex edge issues; you can see the edge material under the P-tex (the shop
suspects rust migration, which makes it visible); and you can see the occasional P-tex hairline crack up to about 2cm out from the edge. If you run your nail up/down the edge, you can feel some of the cracks.
I left the board wet in a board bag for a week, and thats what you get
from that.
I took it to a shop to see what they could do. They said that they had
some issues completely levelling the base, and they did a half-way
kind of job, fearing that any further work would end up destroying the
board.
Having said that, the camber is still good, and I rode the board a
month ago, and it rides OK. Obviously things are just going to get
worse with it..
