The board is only six months old and has been sitting in the shade during storage. No dings, always kept clean, but maybe undergone a bit of overheating while travelling on the roof of the car. All in all, I'm very unimpressed to see "bubbling" on the hull in these early days.
Had some large bubbles on hull of my son's 8' hokua last year and the dealer replaced the board
I saw the same effect you guys are describing on a second-hand Mana in a local shop. The bubbling was only over a small area, about postcard size. From memory the guy in the shop suggested it might be from a wet board being left in a board bag on a hot day. Not sure if that's the official diagnosis or just one opinion. I didn't buy it (the board that is).
The tiny bubbles are caused by leaving the wet board in a board bag for a long period in hot conditions. Use bag for transport, or when at beach, but keep board out of bag when in storage to eliminate tiny bubbles.
