I am looking for a midsized freeride/freerace board. I came across these two boards, I am a bit hesitant as the damage on both cover a rather big area. Neither are repaired professionally but by the owners.

What do you think?

It certainly drops the price. The main thing would be if its water tight. There is a test you can do over night but not something you could do when inspecting a board.



I tend to ask myself is this damage a lot worse than the typical damage I do to my boards. If not then I don't mind as long as I have reasonable confidence it was repair wellish and did not take on lots of water, hard to know also. Some people would try comparing current weight to manufactured weight, but I think you need to take on litres of water to make a meaningful difference in weight :))))
