Anyone who can only get six months out of a poly board has a really dumb glassing schedule (like single 4 deck and bottom on a 2.25 inch thick board) or a really bad glasser. Unless we are talking about ultra powerful waves, in which case all bets are off.

my kg fishes are glassed heavy 6, 6x6. but just after a few months of not even moderate use, spider cracks occur on near the fins and under my front foot... this is not exclusive just to kg but all my boards i gotten even ones in hawaii. again just turning hard (bottom and top turns) can really put their toll on the traditional poly boards. seriously i need to pace myself on my boards so i don't break em too fast. i love them btw and they get the royal treatment and would never throw a board out that is not fixable.

I actually I like it when it when the deck wells out under my feet a bit. Sometimes I’ll go back and laminate another layer of cloth on the foot wells to reinforce it in the down position. (I usually don’t do this until I start getting cracks over the stringer) Keep the board out of hot cars and it can’t go for years like that. Admittedly, in small wave every day type surfboards, I have about six boards that I rotate through, which spreads the wear out a bit, but a crushed in deck doesn’t mean your surfboard is done. If that was the case, mine would be gone in a matter of days.
