I've had this board a week, been riding it behind a jetski, then yesterday someone offered me a pull behind their X2, I obliged, went W2W off his monster wake(full balast) and this was the result.

Anyone else have issues with this board?

its under warranty, I liked how the board rides, but if its going to crack like this after 3 days riding I dk if I want another Question

The bottom has 6 screws ( 3 per side) attaching the bottom wood section to the top fiberglass section. One of the screws pulled into the wood, maybe 1/3 the length of the board

yea it'll probably keep doing that..i'd try and get a different board out of them..idk how it will work though becuase that board's a few years old..

I have had one for a couple of weeks, I have stress cracks in it now from jumping w2w behind a nautique. I have the 09 though and it is fiberglass top and bottom.

when I ordered I was under the impression it was the '10 , but the confirmation emailed said it was '08. after the first day the paint on the bottom was starting to rise and crack, i was cool with that. I weigh 160 this boards going to crack on me? i guess I've got to stay with an all fiberglass board, how do you like yours echo?

i broke 3 in one week last time i was home Evil or Very Mad

one was a composite

the first wood one broke due to screw holes rotting away

the next one broke like that

and the composite's bottom layer just started pealing off

so i thought it was time to switch it up from the LF, and i doubt they will warranty that board, due to age

if you dont want your LF board to break dont ride it lol

honestbaagel, You shouldn't have ordered the older wood one. Grab an all composite SST. Much more durable.

88skisupreme, True but if you want to ride an SST, it's a much better option.

get an integrity and you'll be set for life!

If you ride behind boat..i would def go for a heavy board for sure..like the guy above me said integs will last forever but are light weight..I had a zariel which weighs a ton but im sure it will lastt a long time..it was just to heavy for me..i just switched to a gator impalla which im in love with..id go with a composite or bi level board. Sorry to hear btw
