Speaking of big labels, I see a used board model I want to try, in my stock dims... but it has a professionally repaired buckle about 18-24" from the nose. It looks almost new, otherwise. I'm trying to convince myself it's far enough up (not under front foot), that it's unlikely to buckle again and the repair wouldn't significantly affect the way it surfs. It would be a board I would only want to ride chest- to head-high + (so not that often here). At 30-40% of the new price, wouldn't it be worth it to try out the model before ordering a custom? Am I fooling myself? sigh

Personally wouldn’t do it. It’s one thing to try and save a magic board, or if you’re surfing somewhere heavy and need the boards. But I wouldn’t buy one in your situation.

In my experience, PU's seem to lose their pop in 4-9 months depending how much you're riding the board and that's due to the wood stringer eventually losing its initial flex characteristics. Most buckles affect the stringer's flex even if there isn't noticeable damage to the stringer. If you're buying the board second-hand after a repair, you obviously don't have the ability to compare the original flex to the repaired version's feel, but I think you're almost always getting a board that performs/flexes less than optimum.

I had one for a bit, off the tail it was a fun board especially with the quad setup. I was thinking it was gonna be a mini noserider, you could cheater five on it, but overall it wasn't very exciting.
