A few scatches you won't notice much differance. If you scratch it alot (like my last board), to the point of it being all grey and gunky. It slows down alot, doesn't cut through the water as cleanly. Molded fins will wear down or even break off. If you're only going to be riding cable, id suggest buying a cheaper board, like an old premier, and not worry about it. I have an Origin skull with a P-tex base (same as a snowboard) and they hold up great to sliders.
