Hi Guys

One of my Ruku's snapped last week when I was down on the bottom in 15.5m getting scallops at Opito Bay, which gave me a bit of a fright... and while I wait for warranty I was wondering if anyone had a spare blade I could have?

Happy to pay freight but want to make a emergency/ backup pair of fins as I'll buy new pockets for the new fins.

Cheers Reuben

I was near coming off the bottom. I guess I could have clipped the fin on the sand on the way up as I powered up. But don't think I did as I felt it go on the second big kick.

The Ruku's are being replaced under warranty which I'm stoked as they have been great fins that for sure. I don't believe it happens very often at all as they are pretty tough fins and well made.

So does anyone have a random spare fin as it would be get to put together an emergency set even if it doesn't match anything will do.

I just thought. I don't need an extra spare set of fins.

Because I break a fin again I dont need another spare blade as I have a spare fin and foot pocket from the broken pair I had...... What a muppet...

haha I'm an egg..... Clown
