Hi, I have already reviewed this board but this is a followup:I've used it two more weeks (25 days total) and have a warning: PEOPLE DON'T BUY THIS BOARD! I'll explain. When I was about to wax it for the second time, I noticed that there were 4 cracks right above the steel, along the entire backside edge. The cracks were about 2-3 inches long and a few mm high. You could actually look inside the board! The cap construction was splitting in half.I contacted Nitro and they admitted the cap construction wasn't strong enough. Next year they'll go back to the normal sidewall construction, which Nitro said, will be much stronger. It was a construction mistake so I got my warranty. (Nitro boards have 2 years warranty) I'll get a new Nitro next season. It won't be a Magnum cause it doesn't come in a 171 next year. (167 will be the longest) So I'll take a Atlas 171 (this year 164 is the longest Atlas) which is a better and more expensive board.
