I’m sure you can if it gets into an extreme situation. I’ve got 12 and never dinged one or had the carbon layer break on one. The core is from a common EPS blank. Like I said in the other Dark Arts thread, their attention to detail is so good I’ve never even had a single drop of resin leak into a fin box. We all know how frustrating and common that is when putting fins in for the first time.Can you ding the foam core on the dark arts though. is the carbon weave pretty impenerateable? You bang the DA itsstill a foam core that can take on water. The closed cell foam of xtr is pretty attractive.
The extruded foam that XTR(and FCD) uses doesn’t take in water which is very nice. But once it’s exposed and water gets between the foam and glass you’re setting up for a delam like any other board. Dings to extruded foam boards still need to be/should be repaired
