Sorry, but it never ceases to amaze me how people get on this and other forums and tell people about problems/faults with boards/paddles/legropes etc and ask for advice and feedback BEFORE making contact with their relevant retailer/importer or whomever they bought the product from. Possibly many people that do this have the best intentions but in my opinion all it does is cast sometimes quite unnecessary shadows over otherwise very good products that may have had some very small glich in production or whatever and can be very effectively and swiftly dealt with by the appropriate people. If I was writing warranties for surf/paddle or whatever products I would be putting a clause in that stated that any public airing of a complaint/problem with a product prior to contact being made with the retailer of manafacturer would immediately void any claim for warranty.
If you have a valid claim and don't get good results then take it up with your relevant consumer protection people and if you still don't get any joy - then slam the product all you like.
Flame suit on - but don't really care - it's just my opinion.

Taking it back hope it is covered by warranty.

I deleted your post other than what is left above.

BEFORE you shout out on a public forum,do what I left and see how you go

IF your not satisfied with the outcome,then MAYBE then, vent here.

Edit-I couldn't be bothered reading Billboards drawn out post

Good choice with the board though
