I have a 4 year old Freerace board that has gone soft between the front and back staps.This board is 77 wide and according to the advertising spiel light construction with a sanded finish,is this a problem because of the finish or the fact that a light weight board of this width is more likely to have this problem.I would gladly pay for a board that was a bit heavier built and was going to last a few more years than this[as a soon to be retiree] .The board itself is a dream to ride and for light wind days is fantastic but I am not happy about the durability of this particular board.Maybe I should be looking at a custom built board built here and requesting strengthening in this area.I have recently drilled about six holes in the area and injected resin in and it has done a good job and the board now feels firmer under foot,was a bit disconcerting going into a gybe and feeling my foot sinking into the deck.
