I saw this on the Hobie site and it looked like it might work.

I purchased these boot patches for repairing turbo fins, I cut to size, cleaned area with wire brush per instructions peeled and stuck. It says they are pressure sensitive, the more you press the better they seal so I used my vise :D . Ater six trips still holding no peeling. I did one on the water and worked better than expected still sticking as well.

Need a perma-link somewhere for this for when someone tears a fin. We haven't torn any yet but of course we haven't been fishing much for the past year.

(For rubber boots I've been using tire tube patches for years. Works well and inexpensive. Not a choice for fins though. This seems to be a cool answer for torn fins.)

I tore one that I repaired w/ electrical tape... this looks much better and will have to get some of those!
