So my 2006 SS SX 137 bit the dust yesterday out at Stevenson yesterday Sad The core cracked in half - it was caused by a previous repair that must have weakened the core. You can see the repair in some of the pictures (the big brown spot). The only thing holding it together is the outer lining. I am going to hang it up on my wall as a trophy Thumb's Up

Time for a new board Very Happy I was going back and forth as to whether or not I should upgrade - well that answer is clear now!!

are you sure the core failed? (it's hard to see in the pic). it looks like skin failure and delamination. If so, it can be fixed, but you will probably be happier with a new board.

Nice, we have a small collection of Phil's broken boards too.

Guess it's time for a new board

I couldn't really show the break in the core - but I can bend the board pretty easy - at first I was like "Whoa - this board is so cool!! It is way flexy - eats up chop!! - and then the core really gave way and I ate it pretty hard"

I saw the lunacy - but I think duct tape and some super glue will do the trick Laughing

Just kidding - I'll think about it - but I'm feelin the Recoil may be my next board - well see.

Hey terremoto,

I've got the same 2006 SS SX 137 I'd be willing to sell if you want a exact replacement?? Razz

It's in great shape with only minor cosmetic scratches...

They are pretty sweet all around boards - but I want to demo the recoils first before deciding.
