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.
 
Cheers,
 
Rob G

A couple  months ago, I sent QCC a CD of my "greatest hits" on the water. 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.

Mark
