What skaters said on Reddit
That's a pretty serious case of delamination. Unless you've abused the board (riding hard, kicking/throwing it, leaving it damp/moist, leaving it on top of a heater, etc) it's a manufacturing defect and you should try to get a replacement. If it's your fault & you can't afford a new board, you can look online for guides to repairing a delam. [VIDEO]
If you want to put some real effort into it because I think you should since it looks like some plies are coming apart and that can affect your pop on your ollies. Get yourself some gorilla wood glue, it’s not too expensive and some small clamps from like harbor freight or something. Here’s a really good video to show what you need to do [VIDEO]
if it gets bad here is a useful video. [VIDEO]
