You certainly have some wear and tear on the "still working" part of the wing.

Everything is fixable. Even this!

. I have built every type of board you can think of for over 20 years I know that it is fixable but that is not the point in this case it is a $400 wing that did not last two seasons and has been used less than 50 times the construction is average at best it has dry patches all through it it does not use high density foam what a piece of crap a clear case of you get what you pay for probably time to bin it and buy something different

Seen a few pictures of the LF wing go like that. Glad it never happened to me.

Gonna cost you at least US$400 for a new wing from LF IIRC. Might try Naish as their first generation foil was identical, but I bet the price will be similar.

There was a guy on Hawaii making replacement wing sets for the LF/Naish foils, they were $500 for the front and about $300 for the rear and you needed a set. Looked to be a huge improvement though...

Mantafoils.com used to offer wings that'd fit, but you'll have to ask now as the last time I asked was about two years ago.

I think Stringy in the US did wings that fit the Foil Fish too. Like the Hawaii guy, there will be threads on kiteforum.com.

Seriously though, there are much better foils out there that by the time you spend $400 plus shipping on a wing, you'll be most of the way to a new foil. If you can do it yourself, that'd be your best option...

Thank you very much for your reply after trying to find a new wing for it I have definitely started to look in another Direction I'm only reasonably new to foiling but I I am really enjoying it and it would be a shame to ditch the whole unit but for the price of a wing virtually I a can get a whole new carbon set up out of China I would like to buy locally but in WA there's not much choice I will keep searching for a replacement but in the meantime I may just build a new wing the fish for me at this stage is a very user-friendly foilboard and after only about 8 hours on it I have now got my first jibe in so I don't want to change but it looks like I will have to wait and see
