mine has some small ones but it's nothing at all. not even close to taking on water or anything. i'm biased though because i love mine.

I have an artificial heart that has some, I also have a GeGe that has none. I think it depends on the pressing, like my A.H. is from the first pressing

i jsut dont get it because when they came out everyone had nothing to say but that the decks are as strong as superman ??? now seeing a couple that are about 2-3 months old with fingernail deep cracks all along the bottom of the board makes me question .... dont get me wrong i know that it is only the bottom sheet that has these but it seems like it would start taking on water

Umm, if a board is sealed right, it shouldnt get cracks once it hits the water. How do you think wood boats stay afloat...... marine sealer and paints. So if the board has good marine sealer on it, say 3 coats, it shouldnt be getting cracks in it the first year off use, unless youve been hittin a lot of rails.
If there are any kinds of cracks in the wood, it is for sure taking on a little water every time you ride, it may just be a little, but it will take on more and more unless you seal it up. |
