I have had it for 2 years. Like new, I have done a few times sup and I had it almost unscathed (so no one can say that I hit it on rocks or elsewhere). I am over 40 and careful. Yesterday I was on the sup aqua marina 3.80 and I had my son and a friend of his who is 8 years old in front of me. We leave 100 meters from the shore and after a while, it breaks at the point where the height adjustment piece connects. Fortunately, by chance, I only got cut a little and out of fear that the child might get hurt, I lost the top piece in the sea!
