Hey guys,

Just got a pair of this year Sakanas and 5th day of riding the tail delaminated.

No crashes or impacts, didn't even notice until I got home.

Any of you had the bad luck with this ?

It looks like there was barely any glue in the back in the first place...

I just got them and I love how they ski, would really try to avoid sending them back for warranty.

I Think it's an easy fix with some glue and clamps, but I am no ski expert and I'd like some opinions on it.

I would try getting those replaced, that is clearly a manufacturing defect judging by how mint the rest of the ski looks

I would definitely reach out to warranty/the shop you bought them from with pictures to make sure it is documented. If you bought them from a shop, they will have the best sense of what to do.

That's what I'd expect from a pair of Line skis

As said above, high quality epoxy, and clamps might fix you up.


but honestly what do you expect when you ride a swallow tail ski like a park ski? think about how much pressure is being put on those little tiny pieces. Fun to ride, but just doesnt make sense from a durability standpoint outside of powder.
