No tracks. I had them put inserts in for Cloud 9/Liquid Force and Zeeko. I always ride the Cloud 9 and Zeeko foils with my rear foot directly over the rear inserts.
I don’t have a scale but I would call it “stupid light” and very stiff.
Lightest piece of kiting gear I have ever picked up.

I've seen a number of dwarfcraft boards with durability issues that needed to be repaired or replaced. Cracked tracks, leaky footstrap inserts that take on water and delam. Typical for chineese made pop outs. Surprised this has not been mentioned in this thread yet...

Bringing this up from the dead since I’ve been able to ride both my DC and Groove S pretty close together and I’d have to say I like the Dwarfcraft more. Bought the Groove S for the lighter weight, better build quality, and because my DC was starting to take on water. While the nose is nice, I really miss the concave deck on that Dwarfcraft. Less foot fatigue and since I ride 99% strapless, just a better overall feel for me. I might contact Groove to see if they can build me a custom with a concave deck because honestly right now I’m disappointed with my expensive purchase.
