the inserts that hyperlite produce and put in theeir boards are designed specifically not to strip out or break. Yours obviously did under heavy pressure. I would think that would be considered a defect. I have worked with hyperlite on many occasions and from what I understand they will happily take care of your board. Whether they just repair the board you have or replace it depends on them. They will want you to send the board to the company so they can see the damage and determine whether it can be fixed or replaced. Anyway could luck. If ytou have any problems email me at
isaacandally@earthlink.net and I will call the hyperlite rep I know and see what he can do for you. Take Care
