Method for Mares X-stream fin repair?

[oceangaucho]

Small tear in my X-stream fin between dissimilar materials, photo link attached.
Recommendations for repair?

There is no photo link attached. Repairing torn fins is often not possible. Have you tried contacting Mares? Maybe post over on Mares forum and see what the reps have to say/advise.

The image is in a Tinypic link, you right click on the image icon and then click open as a separate tab. A separate tab will have the photo. The only way I found to attach images.
I did also leave a similar request on the Manufacturers forum - Mares page.
Cheers,

Looks familiar. I can tell you from experience, there is no "fix" unless you want to try using an adhesive. Contact Mares before you make any type of modification and see if they will replace the fins.
Yours is not an isolated incident, I've have a couple of pairs do the same thing and Mares has replaced them every time.
If you must, you can lay one fin on top of the other and trace a line across where the tear ends with a marker and then trim it off with a razor knife.

Cool, cheers, Scott. I will try to contact Mares directly and see if they are receptive to replacing.

No worries Buddha, I appreciate the feedback.

same as mine. I dumped my fins after that for some good old jets.

There's few more "reports" of failures for you Beano

I'm still happy with mine except for discoloration. I'll let everyone know if they start falling apart.
