Mine has a chip in the top sheet on the nose from dinging a tree and a gouge in the bottom from a rock but any board would have damage from that. No other issues with mine.

 

That's a bummer. Are you over the weight range?

 

Indoor snow center meaning you were probably riding rails and jumps correct? That's the hardest pressure you can put on a board, you'd be better off having it seen the mountain. If you ride park you're going to break boards, it's just a matter of when. Top sheet cracks usually are pressure crack from heavy nose or tail landings and rarely a build quality issue.

 

Ride boards I've owned have been bomber

Post some pics of the top sheet and we can give you better informed opinions.

 

Ride's topless topsheet is pretty fragile but that doesn't mean they are likely to 'crack.' A picture would help.

 

 

 

 

No rails, jumping a bit and 180 nose press. Nothing too heavy. I am 78kg so within the weight limit of the board.
No damage to rail or bottom sheet.
concerned about snow and ice getting under it and expanding making the crack worse.
cant understand why it has cracked in the first place

 

The board has a warranty, I would get a hold of Ride.

 

Warpigs are known for cracking, but usually at the tail. I've never seen one with a nose crack like yours. I broke one and was able to warranty it, but it was a PITA. Ride will tell you to take it to the shop you bought it from and the warranty claim will be up to the shop.

 

First, warranty. Depending on your shop, that's a 50/50 proposition. They'll say you broke it, and its up to you to convince them otherwise. Good luck.

Hard to tell from the pics but its likely only the topless layer is broken as this seems to be the weakest link in the pigs' build. In this case, use marine epoxy to seal the wound and finish with stickers.

If the damage is deeper, you could probably see laminates peeling when flexed by hand. But I doubt this is the case, judging by your description. Have a technician take a look if you are not sure.

 

Looking good at the moment, the supplier seems to have convinced Ride it is a warranty issue. Turns out there have been a few cracked Warpigs. Don’t press them, they will crack

 

Yowch. I was between a WP and the K2 Party Platter I just got last week. So glad I went with the latter - why do they market that topsheet-less construction as "lighter and stronger"? Lighter yes, but stronger?

Like an iceberg lettuce being marketed as having more protein than a Porterhouse steak... yeahnah, that's bullshit.

 

I have 4 riding friends here who have all had top sheet cracks on Pigs. The only one that hasn't cracked was my first year red pig, still going strong with the buddy I sold it to.

 

Yes. My 2019-2020 Warpig separated in the nose after about 12 days riding all groomer runs; no trees or park. Sent it back and they never repaired it, store credit. Good service from Ride I suppose, kudos. On the hunt for a different 2020-2019 board now.

 

Pretty common issue with Pigs. I got one relatively early (probably year 2?) and wouldn't get another one. I didn't have any issues, but I only rode mine a few days before selling it (not a fan) and I've seen quite a few posts like this pop up. Based on anecdotal evidence, but similar to the 2017 Tree Hunter, when you see the same board pop up over and over for the same issue, something's up.
