They may decide that you are out of bounds, in which case I'd take it to a good surf shop and get them to fix it. I repaired a light-layup boat that had split both sides about two feet right at the coaming (the coaming had detached, also), and I repaired that boat. Never again. While you are at it, have them reinforce the inside of the seam with some roving, so this does not happen again. If you play with your boat in surf, it will need it! -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
