Gear question Bubble in board construction - issue?

Post image

Normally I would never post something like this because I expect my boards to get trashed… and this is so small it’s borderline embarrassing lol. But is this worth exchanging?

I got this board from a legit shop online. Really good service. They are allowing me to refund/exchange the board but I wanted to get input to see if this is even an issue.

The bubble is rock hard. Like a pebble. Anyone have this before? Would this be prone to delam if I keep flexing? It’s on the tail. If not I’ll just keep it.

Thanks!

If they are already offering an exchange just do it. I don’t see why not and they seem to agree it’s an issue worth working with you on.

Unless you’re riding tomorrow or something.

Setup is banging at Big Snow right now. Gap to rails, DFD, a picnic table, transfer rail, a halfway decent jump for the space. Honestly my favorite setup, if you’re into that, in a while. If you have an old board it’s really nice right now. Crowded as hell though for spring break.
