k so my invaders have been like this since the end of ski season and its gotten a little smaller im guessing due to lack of water in it but is this delamination and is it cause for a warranty? sorry for the crappy pic but i need a new camera bad.

hahaha oh the hate. i wouldnt send those back yet, send them back when they look like heath's. Although it might take a while to get a new pair so if you dont have another pair of skis in the winter you might not be skiing for awhile so its up to you.

Yeah, thats exactly what I was going to say... I would never notice something like that on my skis, I'd just be like 'huh' when they become like Evan's.

do this and they will most likely end up like evans then you can just send em in and by winter time you have a brand new pair of invaders, probably 08s too

a pair of mine did that, just ride them really hard and do like ten billion nose/tail presses so that it blows up huge, that way you will definitely get a warrenty.

If you brought those in to warrantee they will laugh in your face. Just use some 24 hour epoxy, clamp and done.

epoxy probly would buy you a good amount of time. but i mean eventually the other ski will probly do it, or the epoxy will break down and the ski will reseparate. survey says: that is delamination.

ski them a little more so they will delam, don't try to fix them because it might void the warranty.

ya wait until they're a little worse then send them back, you should be able to get a pair of 08's with the sick graphics. Maybee they'll even give you the option of getting the invader rocks(rockered)
