Hi Folks,

Now that you have a new construction method the inevitable question of durability comes up I guess? I know it's early days, but what the concensus on which construction will handle the rigours of wave sailing better? I've been riding my technora Evo since 2003, and now that I'm about to update I'm after something that will be equally long lived, so do I go carbon or wood?

A friend of mine creased his carbon kevlar waveboard (made by one of your competitors) after only 1 season, and while he got a replacement under warrantee, it's not ideal of course.

Cheers, Jens
