stress marks, a problem?

After surfing yesterday I noticed some stress marks running across my board about the middle of the board. There are about 7 stress marks, they don't go around the rail but do run across the board. Is this a concern? Is my board weaker and more prone to snap in that spot? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

yep if they are left there, water will work in, and you'll have delams, or sometimes water just soaks in and then entire section of glass rips off. I think you need to sand it down (but not expose the foam) and lay down fiberglass and resin it, but check with your shaper for the exact fix
