On my Sunova Speeed the deck feels spongy under where I stand. Any ideas what's happening? Cheers

any discolouration / watermarks around the handle?

Hey Jawgar,

If you get a chance send me some pictures to dylan@sunovasurfboards.com and i'll see if we can figure out what's going on!

Cheers,

Dylan

@dylan - sent

I had 2 sunova flows bubble where my feet were positioned when paddling. One was a huge bubble but sunova sorted each one out and replaced the both .

Sadly they weren't interested in my Speeed when that delaminated, despite about 30 pics and descriptions sent to them last year..

Hope you get more assistance than I did over in the UK.

I wish all brands who use wood laminates - especially very thick ones - would use a wood stringer, like Hypr Nalu Hawaii do. Doing so creates an I-beam structure and I imagine that it would create much greater strength and resilience to deck delamination.

Here's what a wood laminate board with a stringer can look like (though of course you can't see the stringer).

Very nice board. Wood or veneer are great material to use.
Don't believe in stringers in a composite board. As it's a hard outer skin (eggshell). Delamination does occasionally happen but also owner care with vent.

In polyester resin & urethane foam boards yes as the foam is denser and skin lighter.
