Why does everyone freak out about pressure dents? pressure dents aren't shi* to me. Big fuggin deal. You ride a board that is so kooky it has a stringer painted on it Go look at someones like tfads quiver. reasonbly weighed..glassed super strong with like 5 oz cloth and the things might have 1 pressure dent on them. I guarentee he bags them and takes hella care of them, but it goes to show that polys can last. sure if u want a fuggin popout to huntington hop on buy 3! Best idea ever!!! there is no excuse to ride a popout. gr8day just posted a fukkin sick vacuum bagged fish. Guarentee it's as strong as a surftech..and way better I understand what you're saying. The problem that I had with poly boards wasn't pressure dents. The problem was that those pressure dents would occur under my front foot, and next to the stringer. Before long, the glass on one (or both) sides of the stringer would open up. I wouldn't notice it because it was under my wax, and in a few weeks, it was de-lam, waterlogged board city. And I like the santa cruz shape I have. It was recommended to me by a guy who reps for NHS (santa cruz is under this brand) and ...Lost. I would see him out there on Santa Cruz boards some days, and ...Lost boards other days. He surfs well. I love my 6'1" Santa Cruz, and it has needed an average of one fix per year. That's it. End of story. That's enough reason right there (for me) to buy one. I find it hard to argue with that. It turns well, generates a lot of speed, and is a fairly forgiving board. Best of all: NO PRESSURE DINGS. As a result, NO CRACKS. No de-lams. No water-logged board. DK, you're entitled to your own opinion just like I am...you said there is "no excuse" to ride a popout. I say there's "no excuse" not to, if you like the way it surfs and it doesn't fall apart under your feet. If you don't like the way they surf, then they're not an option for you. Don't buy one. I hardly think you need much convincing, though. At the time that I bought it, I didn't know that there were durable non-popout alternatives. If I had known that, maybe I wouldn't have bought the Santa Cruz. The fact remains that I like the board, though. Now that I know that there are custom, durable alternatives to poly boards out there, I will probably not buy another popout. Think about it: before we got clarked, who really knew that there were custom alternative-material boards out there? Those who browse this forum probably did, but when you're an average kid going to school and visiting your local shop every few days, the only options you see is custom poly boards and popouts. After having 5 poly boards fall apart under my feet in 2-3 years, I tried the only alternative I knew of: a Santa Cruz Tuflite. It worked. It still works, two years later. Now that I know of alternatives, I'll get a custom epoxy, probably. I'm sure as hell glad that I bought that Santa Cruz instead of shelling out $1600 for more poly boards to break, though.
