Used Niche Ember size 145 from the 20-21 season. Has season about 30 days of riding. The edges are in good shape The topsheet has faded white lines from my boots that had a white bottom. The nose has a small tear that’s been there for awhile and hasn’t gotten any bigger. The base has some damage near the metal edge. Nothing close to the core, but it is close enough to the edge that maybe a fix could do some work. I’ve rode the board for a year without repairing it and it hasn’t caused any problems. Incredible board for carving! Totally recommend to smaller men and women with a boot size of men’s 9 or smaller This board has incredible float in deep powder ! The crab grab stomp pad was there to prevent those white marking from reoccurring. They can be removed easily with a hairdryer
