Doesn't make sense, when I get up, there's a moment when your knees touch the deck, that would be, where they are when you kneepaddle.
This spot is way more forward , the light dents are further behind and cause I paddle out surfstyle, there's a light dent more forward on the left side en the other more backwards on the right side.

Q..do you blokes with the dented decks paddle on the knees sometimes.
Seriously.....if you surf a 8'3 then you are not a beginner anymore
seriously if you surf a 8'3". You're technically a hobbit
Well quess you must be a pro talking like this;;;;;;;;not everybody who surfs lives in Indo and is 5 feet tall and weighs 60 kg........living in europe we have to be lucky to have clean glassy conditions like indo..............this is a forum where people talk about boards and help each other out not to critisize.
hey Champ, whats a 8'3"board got to do with it.
your the only fool blabbing on about size of boards and beginners.Pffffffft.
heres a guy on the super stable Deep board.
Casso can't be a beginner because his board is sub 8' But hey at..0.35 you see him on his knees
hey champ.............you are right all the way, sorry , you the man......

The LE construction on the x32 is IMO pretty much bullet proof. Not so strong on the regular Hokua LE range though.
I know it's a little off topic, but I can only agree! I've had a 8'3" X32LE since late Feb, used it a lot & no dents, dings, cracks etc. The construction seems really strong, I suppose because of the full foam sandwich, carbon kevlar deck, glass matrix bottom etc. The other Naish I had was a 11'6" Nalu & it was my first board, so put it through the wringer, no problems with that board either.

I can also vouch for the Naish...I ride a 2014 9.1" X32 LE and it's rock solid...still like new and it is used nearly everyday.
Nice for you guys. Because of course with the stringent quality control overseas nothing EVER goes wrong. There couldn't POSSIBLY be bad batches or a crappy one off. Currently jaded.
I have the HOKUA 8'8" X32 LE - no problems so far - guess I can count myself lucky. Love the board. I am 90 kg (was 96 kg when I bought it - I guess lots of use has its benefits) but I am often in knee to shoulder height waves.
