These cracks an issue?

[nmdp]

Just purchased a new board, taken it out for about 6 surfs. After a session i noticed some small spider cracking, so i stripped the wax and found them all the way up the left side of the board. Will they let water in or impact the board at all? If i run my finger over them you cant feel anything, no skin catching etc.

It's difficult to see the cracks in the photos but it sounds like they should be water tight. However they represent a weakness in the board. It won't take as much impact in that area to cause water leaking cracks. It's the facts of life for some polyester resin boards. Shatters are just going to happen.

Try dragging a finger nail across the cracks to see if it catches.

Also, try to figure out why there’s only shatters on the left side. From laying on something in the back of the car ? From your get up knee or elbow ?

Thanks for the reply guys!
Theres no catching, so i think they're water tight?
And i'm not too sure, my pop us pretty clean, i'm not using my knees or elbows at all. Ive been overly cautious with it as well, keep it in a sock and don't lie anything on it.
The only thing i can think of is landing too heavy on my heels when i pop up? Ive never noticed an issue with this before though.

Heels don't make shatters in line like that.
