Machado Seaside going pink

Does anyone have a Machado seaside? I know they are meant to change colour to a yellow but deck is going a funky pinky colour, is this normal? Got me a bit off guard that’s all.

Something similar happened to a mate with his, they sent him a brand new replacement. Worth getting in touch with them.

Yep. I have a seaside and a mashup. The seaside is noticeably yellow and the mashup has a slight yellow. I never rinse my boards off after a session and chuck them in a bag wet.

Seaside is still amazing.

This is brilliant. Hyper colour? forced to embrace pink in a mucho world. Uncomfortability before your very eyes. The chameleon. Own it, embrace it, ride the heck out of it, you just might break it. Chemical reaction embracing human saturation. Like a hepatitis tongue or a junkies jaundice. Can understand you want your money back though. Lineups can be tough when it's all about the gear. Good luck with it.

Note : Uncomfortability is not a word.

Maybe it was shaped by Banksy?

Just take it back, sounds like you got a dud. What construction is it? The old fst and lft used to yellow up pretty quick but were robust enough.
