Just bought a brand new longboard in Dana Point. 30 miles up the 405, at 65 mph, the strap broke the same way yours did in the picture. Brand new, unwaxed $1000 longboard goes flying. Thank God it was in a board bag. $200 in dings. Could have been much worse. Could have killed someone it it had flown into traffic. I called Yakima immediately.
