T Rice Edge Separation - Snowboarding Forum

dcsocal · 12-20-2011, 12:11 AM

So took my new TRice out this past weekend and all was good till I got home and did my usual post trip inspection. I noticed a gap between the base and edge, at first I thought I was overreacting but I was actually able to stick my fingernail between the gap as it wasn't flush like the rest of the board. Was pretty bummed that this board was falling apart after one trip but luckily I bought it from Dogfunk so the replacement will be here Wednesday!

BTW this board kicks ass! super stable, tons of pop, and FAST

Just wanted to share this in case anybody runs into this issue later on in the season.

Here's the gap

In this one you can actually kind of see the edge tabs

It's fine that's a typical US/Mervin/Wet hand lay up problem. Just ride it and not worry.

If you're really worried about it, seal it up.... I would

It happens though.... Deal breaker, no, sucks, yes

I will with the next one, the new one will be here Wednesday. My main concern was that it was my first time out with it. Also, at ~$550 I'd expect this not to happen until my 2nd trip. lol

Oh I missed the part about a replacement in your jumble paragraph

dcsocal · 12-20-2011, 12:43 AM

Oh...I missed the snideness in your other reply. Did you want the paragraph in MLA? APA? Harvard? Enlighten me all knowing Milo303. Douche.

How about you use the damn enter button if you wanna get all smart

Read my posts and then read yours and see which one hurts your brain and makes you stop reading

I wasn't being a smartass until now

dcsocal · 12-20-2011, 12:59 AM

Neither of them made my brain hurt.

Snowolf's posts must make your brain hurt too huh?

I will be sure to make my posts Milo303 friendly.

Just like this.

Wolf actually has something to say worth suffering thru in his posts

Well hopefully my future posts will be more insightful. No sense in arguing anymore.

Pray for snow!
