Review of Stewart Surfboards

Bought a 7' 949 fun board from Thomas. Took it out...

Bought a 7' 949 fun board from Thomas. Took it out for 2 sessions. Love the shape, but noticed quite a few pressure dings after 2 sessions. Brought it in. Thomas was polite and understanding but basically said yeah it has pressure dings, Bill would tell you the same. You can put some track pad over it. So I explained that if this is a 10 ounce coat I don't understand pressure dings after 2 sessions. A 4 or 6 ounce performance board, yes, but not a 7' fun shape. I gave him a chance to make it right and explained I didn't want to write a critical review. So buyer beware, if you spend $900 on a sand coat board from this shop, understand you will have pressure dings. Have this conversation BEFORE buying your board here or go somewhere else where they stand behind their product. Nice shop. Nice boards. Overall nice vibe. But just surprised at the dings and the response of "put a track pad over it" I guess I also feel a bit blown off update: I put track pad over the whole board. Covered the Stewart and 949... So, it looks like a Costco board except it cost $900+$100 of Amazon. Com track pad. Buy the Costco board for $250, save some money and it already comes with track pad
