Edge not flush with base, not to worry?

If you take it to a shop, you’ll void the warranty. Just keep the photo & the emails with NS, and keep an eye on it. If it gets worse then it’s a sure warranty

You’d only take it to a shop that you either purchased it from, or that was authorised by the manufacturer and ok’d via correspondence!!!!!

Ya I’ll do nothing for now and keep the email and pic. I asked if I should do anything with it, still waiting for the answer.

So here’s Vince from NS has to say

“Sure Rico.  Every gap and pore on the board is sealed when it is pressed with glue and additional the perimeter layer of rubber around the edge will also seal/bond the edge.  You won’t have to worry about water getting in unless the edge is damaged.  Boards with less than accepatable variances of edge gaps. die rides, base/top-sheet dents are sold at a Pro-Deal.  These are not structural flaws but boards we perhaps would not want to sell at retail price.  Additionally Pro-Deal boards are not sold with a warranty.  Your gap was very slight and was on the boderline of making it into a 1st quality.  So you received a great board at a good price.

We really appreciate having you on our boards. Thank you for your support!”

Nah it’s not a second. I was told to pick the board up from Boardroom shop. For some reason, they wanna push the sales through the shop. My board, at least, came from the shop it’s just I bought it with the CASI pro deal price. And it’s not really bargain to be honest, still expensive.

I’ve already put on my crab gran, don’t wanna order another online with the shipping cost. And I’m too lazy to go to the store to swap it haha. Let’s hope it is just cosmetic.
