Recently purchased my first new carbon ski after paddling for a bit over 12months. Won't disclose the brand but it is one of the major companies. The problem is there is 2 protruding lines that start from the seam and go down about 10cm. They are spaced about 30cm apart.You have to be in the right light to see them but if you run your hand over them you can feel them. The dealer doesn't seem too concerned but after forking out $4000+ I am. Is this common in carbon lay ups? Am i letting my OCD take control and should i just not worry. The ski is only 3months old. Thanks

I have not owned or bought an unlimited class sursfki that did not have manufacturer defects from day one. No brands excluded. Your experience echos mine. Suggest we just have to live with it. I'm fortunate to be able to just remedy it myself. My new Elite had a 3 degree list to port and a split seam at two weeks. Dealer said tough shit.
