As for wake boards we have had ours a little over a month now, 7-4-09 weekend and we have had the boat out 1 to 2 times a week with 4 to 6 wake boarders all doing at least 2 sets each.
Not a single mark from the boards and we all do swim deck slide ins. We put the boards on at the swim deck and slide off it into the water. Most of the wake boards have the longer center stabilizer fin as well. Not a single mark of wear so fare.
The pads have a 3 year warranty also. Not sure if its a defects only plan or what but i wouldn't be surprised if you trashed it in a season from normal use that Sea Dec wouldn't give you another one.
