I just tried out my new 10.5 foot kayak and had a lot of fun, but it didn't track well. It appears that the fin is bent off to the side. This happened because the fin is located right on a fold when the kayak is put away. Is there a way to straighten it out so the kayak tracks better?
Thanks for your help,

The fin is small enougnh to where it usually doesn't make too much of a difference. Over time it will straighten out. To speed up the process, you can leave the kayak upside down out in the sun. The fin will warm up and soften as well and bend back to the straight position. YOu can also assist in bending it when it has warmed up. When you leave it out however, make sure to let some air out of the kayak so you do not leave it in the sun fully inflated and risk overinflation
