Practical Answer: If you REALLY hate it that much, sell it and get a new skate that's a little heavier.
Awesome Answer: Feed it more cake. |

Buy an 09 sst 42
leave it in you bathtub to soak for 2 days
then you have a heavy board
and if you feel like its sitll too light cut an iron slab and bolt it between the bilevels
