Hey, was looking at prebuilt boards and came across the Vestar osprey 13s8p. Seems pretty sweet but don’t know if it’s a company I can trust or get in contact with if something goes wrong.
Anyone have dealt with them in the past or have any experience with them?
I would stay away

There are certainly better options out there from more trustworthy companies

I’m not a savvy member I don’t build . I have had bad experiences with CF boards and signal retention for my remote.
My biggest concern now when I buy is what happens when it breaks? Where am I shipping it? So many times I got a board that was a good deal till it had to be fixed.
I now can drive my board 1.1/4 hours to get it fixed. It is why I still ride.otherwise I’d quit as repairs suck
Ah fair, I do remember ownboard having issues with the forged vs the 3k carbon.

Don’t forget, I like damon, but I don’t see the point in such minimal clearance from the ground to the motors. Also the gear drive slips and the motors fall to the ground is a serious concern. - double screw on both mount sides or a bolt can help there.
Other than that I like the material that the deck encloser uses (warping aside) prehaps better formula more temp resistant.
As with DYI even when we aim for perfect there’s a few bumps along the way.
