definitely email 9th, because that's crazy... or call them
but, if they won't warranty them, you're basically fucked and you'll have to epoxy.
that sucks dick dude, so much for better quality control this year.
if u care about the grafics u can pun a thin lzyer of epoxy under neith the top sheet clamp it and then sand the excess. also take some of ur girlfriends nail polish clear coat and make a coat over the cracks and the side walls around the tips but u may need to sharpen and wax after that
e-mail ninthward's warranty department. i did it last year and they were super legit about it and i ended up getting another pair of skis. warranty@ninthward.com. i talked to wally through my warranty process. basically just take a couple more pictures of the damage and send them off. spend time on the e-mail, cuz you gotta make them want to help you. again i had luck with ninthward, so hopefully you'll have the same. Peace
