Fixing a delaminating wakeskate

I have a brand spankin' new CWB onset that I skated once. Threw it back in the boat, and came back later to the damn thing falling apart.

I have the warranty option, but would prefer to fix it myself.

What I need to know is what glue/sealant works the best, and how to get under the plys about 5 inches in without tearing them out.

Here are some pics..........

Thanks,
Alex

Id suggest using the warranty dude.... its gunna keep breaking. Thing looks extremely flimsy and the wood they use... looks like balsa wood haha. If you can do the warranty do it.

I day do the waranty, then before you ride it throuw a couple coats of real good sealer on there. Then just re seal it everyonce in a while!

Damn, wish I would have done a little bit more research before I bought it. I'll give CWB a call tomorrow.

What do you recommend as a good sealant?

Looks like Im back to riding the 'ol LF Control for a while.

Thanks guys,
Alex
