* Fatum Surfboards in Peniche spend a lot of time with your to find the right shape, build quite fast and and produces very high Quality boards in 2x6oz glass (Poly only) and ship them throughout Europe for around 90 Euro. If you tell them what you like, they will be able to build you something similar.
And there is probably much more.

Question - If you so worried about Dings and board SNAPPING, why don't you get a molded epoxy board ?

A good all round board is what is continually being recommended, take heed![]()

When I came back in I noticed the board had compression in the top deck. I know this tends to happen to all boards as the age...but on the first surf! The day was mid sized mushy waves. I had no collisions or bad wipe outs. The compression is from popping up to my feet?! I'm guessing it is a
manufacturing defect. I contacted the place where i bought the board and the company claims this is a wear and tear issue. I followed up with the couple board repair shops on the coast they say this type of problem all the time with Global Surf Industry boards. They figure it is inexperienced workers over sanding the epoxy coat as they mass produce boards. Anyway...its all pretty disappointing. Lesson learned. I won't be buying from GSI again!
