I have a Rossignol board I bought last season in Canada. Not the best but was fairly cheap. However, after 23 days of use the top laminate split across the board at one end.
I am a fairly easy rider (compared to most) so didn't put the board under a great deal of stress but I couldn't get the board replaced without posting it back which would take too long (up to 6 weeks apparently)
know its difficult to say without seeing the board, I don't think there's much chance of fixing it so would you trust a board with a crack in the top layer or should I just relegate it to wall furniture or even use it as a rock board?

If you can get some photos up dude, it's much easier to give an opinion on a piccy!

I'd warranty it - assuming you didn't crash it then it should not break irrespective of how hard you ride it (excluding jibbers).
I've never personally broken a board without crashing it into anything... if they break in normal use it's a manufacturing defect. A decent retailer/ manufacturer will just give you another board, although they will usually ask to see the old one to confirm you didn't abuse it.
You can't really say without seeing it, but I'd be mostly unhappy to ride a board if it had lamination problems - whatever caused them (eg a fab problem) is still there and may well happen again. In any case it's often cheaper to just replace the things.
