Bought the Carbon !0'8 and the Junior. While the Junior has been fine for my 7 year old son I have had nothing but problems from day one with mine. For one the bag was way too small and impossible to get everything back in and in my effort the fin connection broke the first time trying to get back in the bag and the bag ripped (should have sent back right then)but decided to repair myself. Did not even try and use again until this summer and when I inflated there was a hole on the top of board through the padding. Emailed the company about my issues from the beginning and was informed that I could send back at my own expense $300. And they sent me a shipping comparison link for the UK really not helpful for the US. I did end up sending it from Georgia to California only for it not to be received(should have thrown in trash because that"s what it is). I did a lot of research for a nice board to ride with my family but made a $1,000 mistake don't do the same. My wife has had her board 5 years that cost $280 with zero issues.
