AFS fuselage question

Loving my AFS Enduros but started feeling some weirdness in the surf last session and it feels like more front foot pressure.

My question: Is my Fuselage bent or do they all have a bit of bend in them. I’m a bit nervous about AFS gear since I previously broke two AFS fuses and one AFS UHM80 mast. Discussed in another thread.AFS durable enough for dockstart? - #18 by FoilLight Let me know if this looks normal to any of you especially if you’re on AFS gear. :call_me_hand:

You really caught me off guard. I really sat and wondered how the heck all that carbon could be bent/curved.

The post directly below this OP was about fuselage length and I took this SS from it. You can see the same thing. Looks like it should I think.

@kurtis Thanks for the screen grab, it’s hard to tell from the image. Do you ride AFS?

I sure do.

When I get a chance I will check my fuse to compare.

I remember my takuma kujira fuselage had a slight bend on the tail end. I think it was the same designer

normal. mine has a slight curve to it as well.

CF parts don’t permanently deform with a bend like aluminum would.

Instead you would have more obvious damage with broken fibers, cracked resin, and a major decrease in stifness.
