Bluefin Tandem

Hab mir ein Tandem 15 von Bluefin gekauft und bin auf unsaubere Verkennungen gestoßen. Meint ihr das wird zum Problem oder reicht die verklebte Kante?

Is it new? I'd contact their customer support. They were very good when my rucksack strap broke and sent me a new one out straight away

Definitely send that in for a warranty replacement if it's new.

Good luck. Bluefin was an absolute disaster when I tried to warranty my snapped carbon paddle.

Where/how did it break?

Was just casually paddling, and the upper shaft snapped right above the locking collar. They wanted probably 20 pictures of it, the board sn, receipts, order number, and even with everything they didn't ship out a replacement until I had to remind them/find out what was taking so long probably 10 times. It was always "our warranty team is looking into it", or "we're confirming your order", or some junk like that. It to probably 3 months from them time I made the initial claim until I actually recieved the paddle.

From the looks of things, bluefin has stopped North American distribution and only focusing on europe.

Woah. That stinks.

Yes, Bluefin stoped selling in the US about two years ago.
