Surfing Waves

I got my hands on a used firewire FST. Its got a little yellowing from age and a couple small dents. I need some advice. Looks like a minor crease in the nose area. Is this something to be worried about or am I being paranoid. Thanks

I should also ad it is not deep and there is absolutely no cracking of the glass.

It would depend on the price of the board for me. I would want a super deal to justify that crease, but that's just my own buying style. If I have to live with a crease like that, then I want to know that the board I got was a steal. Otherwise I'm going to see that crease every time I take off and question whether I made the right call dropping all that money on a board with a weak spot.

I got it for less than half the price of new. I dont care about the looks just worried if it will cause me trouble in the future. Does it need to be looked after or is this normal wear and tear?

Is this a major or minor crease is my real question

The picture isn't that clear, but from what I can see that's a pressure dent, not a crease. A crease is when the board is buckled but not broken....that didn't happen there. Pressure dents are normal wear and tear, don't worry about it.

Thanks Big H thats what I was hooing to hear. Taking it out today for the first surf.

"Looking to hear"

I showed it to a friend today who is more knowledgable than me and he agreed its nothing to worry about.

Good times! Enjoy it!
