I bought an 05 karma, and it has a hole drilled straight to the core, it is a manufacturer's defect, and I was wonderng what I should do, is there anyway I can get a replacement, and keep this one for rails and other crazy stuff? because i think w/ some super glue, it could ride well.

That sucks, I've got the same board.

Got any pics of it?

if you keep it then you have to buy a new board. if you want a replacement, you have to send it back

here it is, the dark hole is the fin hole, the light one, is just a hole drilled to the core, and left exposed

To hyperlites credit, it was actually covered by the shank fin, and i would have missed it if i didnt give it my anal inspection. I'm sure they didn't notice it.

that shouldnt be too big of a deal

anal inspection.....i don't want to know. Smash

I'd try to return it for a new one.

oops! looks like quality control missed that one. Laughing

contact hyperlite and let them know you got a blem board. they should replace your deck no questions asked. just be sure to include the photos when you contact them. you'll just be out of a board for a bit...

look like poop under a microscope if you ask me. and poop on a hyperlite board on another note. coincidence.
