I have several boards from GSI1 - Hayden Shapes Hypto Krypto (EPS)- amazing board, strong and light. I surfed it a bunch on the east coast and Hawaii and not a single ding yet. 2 - 7S Slipstream in carbon vector (EPS) - another amazing board - also light and strong. 3 - 7S Wave Magnet - the old school PU board from 10 years ago - this one surfs amazing but had dinged easily. 7S has really improved construction since then.I also rented the 7S SuperFish 2 (carbon vector) for a week on a trip to Cali and could not be happier.In summary I would say that you get what you pay for. If you buy the lower end price range like Modern Surfboards, expect dings. If you buy 7S or Hayden Shapes you get a top notch board with all the latest materials (EPS, epoxy, stringerless, etc) that would cost $200 extra or more from other shapers, plus you get free shipping and no tax. Choose wisely.
