I've got a new pair of carbons and the clear coat appears to be chipping off in very small areas approaching the tips. As far as I know I haven't made physical contact with anything and I do rinse the fins when I come home.
Is this clear coat functional? As in, is it offering some sort of protection to the carbon underneath that I should re-cover with some sort of clear coat?
Additionally, how fragile are these things (somewhat new diver) - should I be worried about someone absentmindedly stepping on them on the boat, etc?
Thanks in advance for fielding replies to my likely asinine questions.
