If you get a really good deal on it go for it. If not do not get
ripped off. The delam is hard to fix. I did not see the board so I
do not know how bad it is. But I had a board from K2 which
delaminated and I got it fixed but it just kept delaminating by the
end of the season. Most of the time it is cosmetic. The problem is
that the snow gets between the sheets and freezes and melts.
Make sure they give you a huge discount on it, what do they say if it
delaminates again? Will they replace it, repair it or is it a second
and you get the shaft? The problem is that it is caused by a defect
in the manufacturing process. The question is what was the defect and
how serious is it?

Usually delams are caused by bad manufacturing (incorrect layup, not
enough glue etc). Unless you are getting it for next to nothing, or
it still carries a good warrenty, I'd stay away from it. I did have
one board that delamed and the manufacturer fixed and I didn't have
any problems after that. Turned out that they put a layer of
fiberglass on backwards.
