    The stringer on my short board is raised-like the foam is compressing in the middle, and it is cracking horizontally across the whole board below the midpoint on the bottom. i'm afraid it's gonna snap in-half next swell. Anybody ever have this happen/know why it happens/or how to fix it?
    Thanks!

    its happened to one of my boards, i bought a used wrv retro fish, the string rose out of the board because that is where my knee sometimes hit when i popped up, the stringer actually was out of my board and i was able to touch it. i took suncure and kinda leveled out the compressed are so it would rejoin the normal height of the stringer. IF you dont trust me you could always bring your board into your surf shop and see what they will do.
