Who else has dropped a pretty penny on a board not knowing about the major flaw / defect to come. If only I could go back in time...listened to my girlfriend..not dropped 3 grand on a board.

I've got an opportunity to buy either a
Naish 12'6 Javeline LE 2014
Naish 12'6 Javeline LE / GX 2015
Naish 12'6 Javeline Maliko 2016

At 50% off. I'm leaning towards the Javeline 2014 LE as it's cheapest and I prefer the look. But I purchased a 2014 LE 8'0 that fell apart within weeks, only to find out the first half of the years boards we're defective. (Of course Naish reimbursed, but what a pain in the butt). Has anyone had or heard anything about these boards? Specifically the Javeline 2014. Thank you!

Be wary of the "rebate trick" of the windsurfing-culture brands: charge twice the price for the list price, so that they can offer "rebates".
It is like the clothing shops that will double the price the day before a "sale" so they can announce "Sale! 50% Off!"

Judge a board on its merits, and the relevance to your use, conditions, level, taste. Not the "rebate".

This is just a general rant. I never saw a Javeline :-)

All good if GF has a crystal ball and is a good psyscic. I mean otherwise how could you know about a fault in production?
The SUP breezers are too polite to tell you **** happens get over it. FFS ever owned a car? 1st wold problem or what?
Really, what is the point of your brain fart?
