So is 5boro south central or china? the last one I got was defective; when putting both feet on the nose and tail and hopping lightly, the board would flex to where the ends of the nose and tail almost went below the middle of the board.
Why does this happen? moisture getting absorbed into the plies somehow? Do boards from China that're shipped to the US have more of a chance of being defective/having moisture seep in? I would guess that getting a board that's pressed as close to you as possible would be ideal, quality-wise (?)
Are there any other east coast woodshops besides chapman and pennswood? what brands does pennswood do besides scumco?
