Here’s the deal: Scott emailed us with a hard luck story, the kind that is generally depressing, causes our brow to furrow and our mind to wander along lines of ‘what the fuck does this kid want?’ Anyway, it’s hard work being bitter so we’re handing it over to you. After the recent Bali board test that’s featured in issue 29 (on-shelves now) we’ve got a few test craft leftover and might possibly be so generous as to send one to young Scott (at his own expense of course) but the final decision will rest on the verdict of you, dear reader, by using the pretty little comment function located beneath this article. Remember, play nice kids.

Scott writes: "Hey guys just writing to you with the worst luck story ever heard. Six months ago I got myself a new QCD board, was a great board until a surfer managed to run it over destroying it for good. Soon after that I bought another QCD, which arrived one week ago. I managed to score some onshore waves during this week and today another stand up ran me over destroying it on its third surf. I attatched some photos of the damage. Pretty devastating but I’ll just be saving up and getting another QCD made up and hopefully turn this horror winter around."
