Go ahead and laugh, but it's soo much easier to see in the chop.

Just realised I blew out one of my go-joe's seams near the base of one of it's legs (about 1.5-2 inches worth.

Question to you guys, should I get it sewn or would something like duct tape do the trick.

if sewn, would hand sewing it be good enough or does it need to get machine sewn?

a bladder.. I'm just thinking of using duct tape on the inside to get the seam closed (not sticking to the bladder) and another on the outside for support. I think it should work. worse case I'll just get another one. Even though after the 2nd session I've had it, the only time it's gotten away from me was when it headed down wind in HR in the middle of the channel, go figure.

I do have to say I like it, for the mere fact I won't be loosing my board (black liquid force DLX), and won't get shot in the head by one on a leash. Plus it makes for a decent handle trying to get my foot back in the straps.
