I rode my new never summer board 1 time just got it last week and I dont recall hitting it on anything and it never got dropped
pictures are attached

What should i do?

It's not just a crack, the edge is bent. At least that's what it looks like -- kinda hard to be sure. Edges don't just bend. Either it came that way and you didn't notice, or you smacked something.

Dude, you hit something. Look at the edge...

Classic over flex. You landed something tip heavy and/or were doing tail/nose blocks.

There were no jumps up so i dont think i tail blocked it but im over the fact that its there what should i do with it?? i only really ride park?
Also what about never summer warrenty I have the receipt i just got the board a week ago theres literally no other marks on it, not on the bottom or any other edges.

You can try to warranty it. You snapped the core. That's what happened. It's broke.

Thelegend · 12-08-2012, 11:33 PM

if i snapped the core will the tail flex alot since its broke? cause it looks like it hit into something cause its dented. but is there any way to tell if the core is broke if its not the core and i just crack it from hitting something if i have it apoxyed back together will it be alright?

I take core snap back after looking more.

Looks like you hit something, impacted the edge and caused the delam. You might actually get lucky enough to have this one warrantied.

thanks for the help man! i appreciate it. Do you recommend saying anything specifically when Im talking to the company about the warranty.

and in the worse case if they dont replace it do you think that if i have a shop apoxy it back together and fix it as best as possible that the board will be alright to be a park board?

You could probably tell them exactly what happened, they will see through bullshit if you lie to them.
