just bought my new leaderfins carbon

After my first dive (freediving), I noticed that there seems to be a white line parallel to where the screws are mounted. Is this a sign of the fins starting to crack? The surface of the fins seems smooth though. I'm worried that this may be the a sign of cracking.

The white line isn't visible when viewed straight on. You need to tilt the fin to a certain angle in order for it to be visible. But underwater, it seems pretty visible.

I've only used this once with shore entry (did not jump from a boat). I wore the fins far away from the shore.
