Mark, I can't imagine a manufacturer such as QCC wouldn't want to hear from you to at least talk about what is going on. Lots of small outfits would love to have the opportunity to address a problem, especially before it hits the internet. There are possibly other remies that would not necessitate a complete boat swap such as sending you a credit for having a glass pro do the work. As for swimming, don't worry about it, just keep working on it, but don't let that boat get away from you in the surf.

I call it Ka POW!!! When I emailed them about my current split, I sent them my latest video from TAKS. So what I do in my kayak is well documented. I admit I swim a lot, but there haven't been any nasty contact with rocks that I would think might cause this kind of failure. Seems to me the pounding surf is the most I subject my boat to. I just wanted to get other opinions before I actually call them to hear theirs. It is rather ego lifting to think that my macho paddling is just too much for any kayak, but I think there are people doing a whole lot more macho stuff out there who have intact seams. I want to be fair and get what's reasonable.
