It is an extremely common problem. You might need 5 or 6 more.

my friend bought one 3 months ago and he has taking his board back twice. two different boards, each time they give him a new one. when i went riding this past weekend with him and it was coming apart again! each time it's the layers of plywood coming apart. my view of of liquid force boards they are made to cheap and only to last a season. hopefully there 07 line aren't made so cheap.

if u keep the replacement i suggest doing a few coats of wood sealer on it

i could probably sell it for more than i paid. they listed it wrong on ebay and i called them on it before they could fix it so i got it for 100 bucks shipped

This reminds me of the good old days when Pirate would log into a thread like this and just post "get an integ" and everyone would freak out and start the wood vs composite debate for the 63rd time. Ah the good ol days Wink

07 LF impulses have a PBT base and they're made in canada this year. I spoke to jimmy at the surf expo and he was really psyched on these boards, and I can tell that he really wanted to make a solid board. He was checking out kyle walton's board after the rail jam for any scratches, signs of delam, etc, and it looked clean. Anyway, they are investing more in this year's boards and jimmy took a lot of pride in what they came up with, so I would at least keep an eye out for them to see if it's something you like.
