Welcome to the Skim Online Message Boards.
how can you tell if a board is actually carbon fiber

take a knife and stab it repeatedly.
I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is.
Black specs on rails/nose etc because epoxy cant throughly cover carbon

Could it be carbon on top and s-glass on the bottom? I just don't see carbon on the bottom......I could be wrong though.

thats the link tell me what you think good deal?
well since you seem to have the reading comprehension of a rock, yes it is a good deal.
Exile doesn't do half carbon/sglass, Either way its still a great deal for a hardly use board with minimal tail/nose wear

its either s-glass or e-glass. my s-glass bottom on one of my exiles looks just like that. carbon would be black not white.
My carbon bottom looks exactly like that until it starts wearing away. There is def white spots on mine...
There is a complex formula you can use if you don't want to cut into the board (Which obviously you don't). I'll try to simplify it by just writting out the steps for you.
You need to weigh the board. Then take the weight of the board, divided by the overall dimensions of the board. Take that number and dived it by the thickness of the board. Take that number and dived it by the total surface area of the bottom of the board that comes in contact with the water. Let me know what you get and I can tell you if it is Carbon or not... Oh yeah, the one thing that most people forget, is the fact that the initial weight, when you weigh the board, must be weighed hydrostatically... Let me know what you come up with...

Yeah, pads will definitely throw off the numbers. Gotta be padless and waxless...
