i bought this board from a friend of my family. he is a representative of hyper-lite. he sold me the board for $50 because it was used in a demo. i bought the board and the next day. went out and rode it. i then broke my ankle and haven't been able to ride it. its been about 6 months since the last time i rode it. its now formed what seems to be a bubble of air under the center of the bottom graphics plate. when i originally bought the board. this bubble was not there. i don't know what to do or if i can even fix this. i would really appreciate some help on this and will answer all questions as best as i can.

Likely got water in there, which settled in that spot. It's dry now but has left the air pocket. Find the hole and seal it up, it's likely located on the edge somewhere

alright. the board has a few chips so i understand that. Is it possible to get rid of the bump left behind and how should i seal it.

IMO no, you can't get rid of it without sanding it out, and epoxy should seal it up, some people use JB Weld, but I do not

I don't think it is water. That is a closed cell foam board. Water wouldn't hurt anything.

It looks like a separation and a void. That board is likely snapped. It is probably still ridable, but it will eventually come completely apart.

For 50 bucks, i would buy it just to destroy it the rest of the way. Still a deal. Find a cool spot and slide it off a rock or something. PERFECT.
