Pressure Cracks?

Postby Jabawakee411 » Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:19 pm

Hey guys, I got a brand new surfboard and after two days of surfing I noticed all these little cracks all over the board.I took the utmost of care while transporting my new stick. Is this normal

All this and you haven't even had a surf yet, please post a full picture of the board showing the brand name.
Options take it back to the shop immediately and ask why and for a refund!
It looks very much like a poor glass job , that cracking can come sometimes after stress.
IS the board an el cheapo Chinese? or even a bad local job :?:

You might expect to see that sort of stress cracking after you've had the board for a while, but not all over the board after a couple of surfs.

Looks like a bad glass job. Would be helpful if you could post a picture of the whole board.

Maybe not necessarily a bad glass job but maybe too much catalyst when they were mixing the resin. If you want just sand it down and go over with some solarez. As you can tell I love solarez haha.
