C4 carbon fibre blades

does anyone know how to fix carbon fibre fins?? ..... if there is a way

I don't know what these fins are, but if they are carbon fibre, I guess you can fix them like you fix any fibre glass patch, but using carbon fibre resin and mesh. I don't know from where you can buy it, but I know there is locally as it is used to manufacture model boats.

It depends where the crack is!!!
I would like to add  that if the fins are damaged even if you repair them keep an eye on them !!! Its not nice after a long apnea in +20m to make it to the surface with a broken fin !!!

if its broken trow it away. There is your life and even if your at the surface remember that have to head back. I had this expiriance with the omer ice fins. They brake a lot so i put them away. Before buying a fin read reviews cos there are some fins that brake even in pool training

On medfish forum there is a tutorial http://www.medfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3838 on how to fix carbon fins ........  but I guess you first have to become a member before viewing this tutorial. I use Omer Ice fins too and I like them ...... I know they're not the best but they do their job well.

It is not that emic does not know how to swim as you said spearerr but they depend on how you use the fins for example if you use them frequently for long hours there is a much greater chance for the fins to break.

Personally i know emic and surely he uses all spearfishing equipment right .

I had fins that broke in a period 3months and I had others which lasted for a year and a half never more.

i was just kidding fabrizio!!

I have a brand new pair of omer rekords,  one of them broke for me and I put them a side not worth taking the risk of using them, even if use them for shallows only ..........When Im swimming I change my mind frequently about the depth I swim, thats why I put them aside.

this is why they changed them 3 times, 4 blades and after 100 dives per fin. Pls read reviews about them. Its material is Macrolone and not plastic, which it should be undistructable. Ask seahunter how he broke the fin!

As marckam can confirm I use also a set of old Esclapse (green ones) and they keep for 5 years every set. The carbone ones I m using at the moment are very good for my weight but personally im afraid from the foot pocket but bought a couple of extra so I change them every now and then.

Ramio:every fin is studied and patent from the designer. For us are all the same looking but believe me when I say there are lots of different especially no of layers, type of carbon sheets, length, width and even cut. By repairing it I believe that its impossible to keep it of the same performance and much more safety

About a month ago we had a dive with Peppo Biscarini where we where talking about the the fins and our fining technick. He gave us different ways but even the movement of the fin in the water he had chosen the Beuchat carbon. We where diving in 18-20mtr where I was with a 5mm suit and Giovanni 6.5mm suit with the respected weights.

If I'm not mistaken I had read that the fins were defective and they (omer) changed the material they used in the previous fins. 

At the end of the day, when buying fins and your spending quite some money into them, having a warranty is a must.  The problem with the Rekords I had was that I baught them from abroad and I couldnt do anything about it.

the guarantee is international. I had bought mine and 1st I sent an email to Omer department where there they had forward me to go to the local shop. the inportant thing is to keep the VAT recite. They need to see the date of perchese and there is a 2 year

I had contacted omer personally ed, and they told me to go to the establishment I baught them from (Sicily). 

To be honest I did go back with them, and I gave them both the fins back, they changed one of them for me then in the following weeks the other cracked again, and I gave up.
