Big crack (into the foam core too) from side to side...Don't want to waste too much time so dodgy it is ! Stage two complete.

No. Previous owner cracked it wave jumping off Green Island (Moreton Bay).

Hi Richie. If it opens back up at speed its like a sardine can hand brake. Good luck

make sure you put a layer of 2-4 oz glass each side of the carbon or it will snap in two faster than you can say advance australia! lol

I would recommend against taking through customers in Indonesia, Malaysia or Singapore.

Don't think you should be taking it for a test ride this weekend
