Hey Matt
What appeared to be a small hole in a sidekick float yesterday is now actually an unrepairable split along the seam where the two halves of the float were joined in mfg.
I tried to repatch this float again today at home since my on the water repair from yesterday was still leaking.
After blowing it back up to see if the new patch job was holding, the seam just burst wide open .
I think I have a fairly good set of lungs but not good enough to blow this apart unless there was some pre existing mfg defect .
Our question then is whether this item might still be covered under warranty and if so where do I send it or how do we obtain a replacment.?
I believe we ordered it online from the Dog @ Mariner Sails about a year ago.
If this is not covered can we order just the replacement float since everything else seems to be ok?
Thank You in Advance

The big round patch from the hobie patch kit was still leaking from yesterday...
..so I took it off today and repatched it on the inside of the float through the air valve and also on the outside once again..
..I blew it back up to check the repair and then set it aside on the table.
Within a few minutes time the patch and seam area suddenly split wide open with a hiss and scared the living Shiznit outta my three cats.
