Crazyfly raptor broken

Brought it October 2020, used it 61 times (kite diary) on average hr and half roughly 90hrs, only thing that makes sense is take off on the beach, I tend to olly the board to load up before jumping

Yeah 3 yr warranty on crazyfly.
Juraj should have no problem doing the warranty.
Unless taking off doing ollie beach starts void the warranty?

Such a strange-looking crack. When you ollie from the beach, do you mostly put down this side of the board? I could imagine that this puts a lot of stress into the board beneath the right heel, do the cracks emanate from there?

I could imagine that a kiteboard is not designed to do that, and that it will crack like this if you bend it too far. After all, kiteboards need some stiffness for a good pop.

I have been using my 5 year old crazyfly raptor for I guess more than 100 sessions and aside from the usual marks it's still quite good.

Your honesty in possibly accepting some fault is refreshing!
