loaded board repair

**mjswider** · 02-26-2008 06:45 PM

I've got a oak pin flex 3 with a couple of delam spots. One on the nose back to the truck the other where the nose widens out in the middle of the board ( guess you might call this part of the board the neck). At the second spot the glass has broken and is peeling back, I get poked sometimes when I grab my board there.

I am still riding it, and it does not seem to be getting worse, and i do have an email into loaded to see what they say. Just wondered if anyone here has repaired something like this.

Thanks!

so what did you do? I have only been riding mine for 2 months. Bought it from loaded, it is a blem. I am on the heavy side for a flex 3, but the only "hard" riding I do is pumping.

Ride it till it dies.

Edit: I have a oak pintail flex 1 that's starting to do the same thing in the same place.

thanks for the note. I wondered if a stiffer flex would be less problem, but you don't get any stiffer than flex 1. Since I bought this directly from Loaded a couple of months ago, I have been in contact with them about how to fix it. No recommendations on that front, but they are sending me a BRAND NEW BAMBOO pin to replace my oak one. that works for me. I hope the bamboo is more reliable than the oak. . .
