Carved Imperator V board

[boazp]

What you are saying is, you don't care about function, you care if it looks perfect. Oh well.

Now what if your board has a scratch after the first day on the beach: you throw it away? You have it repaired immediately? You call your shocked friends in Berlin?

for god's sake, this is manufacture deformation in a board that costs twice or 3 times as other boards. is it not crystal clear that this is not ok? this is a deformation we can see. what about things that go wrong on the inside of the board? I don't trust their quality control any more. this is their responsibility. if I scratch or brake or burn it up it is my responsibility

[quote="alamos_kiter"... if I scratch or brake or burn it up it is my responsibility

Using a $1000 board for braking makes no sense...

I know these badboys are even more expensive but they are designed to do the job and last longer as well. Just my 2¢

Yeah it is a minor cosmetic imperfection. So what? If you'd judge your wife like that and consider what she costs you, you'd see what I mean. Dunno if you're married, but I think you get my point.

RE: quality control, inside the board: if there's a delam problem, you'll find out when your board breaks because of that. Only way. Do you think they xray or CT a freaking board before they ship it? Get a grip. This is not a Formula1 racecar.

Know what? You win. As you said, Carved will go down like the Roman Empire did, because they shipped you a board with a vac bag lip and reimbursed you in full immediately. Have a nice day.

I just read the first 3 pages of this thread, then gave up and jumped to the last one - to see that nothing has happened since the start

Why is this put out here in the first place ?

They have given you the most excellent customer service one can dream about, for one

Secondly, it is a personal thing whether you think it is ok or not what you see there, small imperfections - some wont care at all, others will - and thats it.
They take good care of those like you, which is excellent from Carved, kudos for that when not a low priced product, and how it should be

Regarding price twice or 3 times as other boards ? I dont get that at all...
Got nothing to do with the topic I know, but a good North 2016 TT cost about 1100 euro which is almost the same price.
A Cabrinha 2016 waveboard also cost around 1100 euro.
And it is only around half the price of the best foilboards
And almost only a third of the price of a good 18m2 race foil kite
There are new low cost (or on sale) boards too at only 650 euro, I know, but 3 times the price ? - no way not even close !
Sorry, got nothing to do with the topic IMO, but wrong to claim 2-3 times as other boards


Thumbs up for Carved who takes care of all customers, also the more touchy ones, thats the thing I get from this thread

This thread has been quite educational.Didnt know anything about carved before reading these amusing posts.What I've come away with is that I'll now consider buying a carved board in the future,they're fast, smooth,great pop,totally in a league of there own.Great custumer service.I think the made by hand angle is a positive,easier to make subtle improvements on the fly.Not as expensive as I thought,on par with many mainstream brands.Thanks all!

the board I bought costs exactly between half and a third of Imperator V. next you will probably claim it is not black...

[alamos_kiter]

Black?
