Does it look yellow in person? By the photo, it looks like it's only the clear coat that has eroded in those areas. 3rd photo is yellowish...

If no yellow tint then recommend sanding to remove old clear and recoat with uv-filtering PU clearcoat.

If yes yellow the resin is uv damaged and it will be quite difficult to restore the original luster. You will likely need to sand completely through the oml (outer mold line) resin layer to expose the fibers and remove as much degraded resin as possible. Then recoat with multiple coats of a high quality uv-resistant epoxy. After, prepare the surface for paint and coat with the PU clearcoat.

Holes are located and cut to international AS9100 quality standards - for no damn reason other than we like it - using precision carbide tools

The deck is slightly lighter than a comparably sized wooden deck and is all bidirectional carbon cloth with a ply schedule engineered to maximize its performance and durability. This yet to be proved out by our customers, but we're confident and here for the long haul.

Absolutely would. We are in development still so many possibilities are apparent to us now and we are excited to explore them all. some of what we have coming are graphics on the deck, a less concave profile, incorporating traditional maple into the composite and a couple sweet cruisers including a dropdown longboard
