Besides the skins just wearing out, the most common failure point on the Hoji skins was stitching from his attachment to the skin. After they ripped off a few times, I gave them to a local seamstress in town who sowed them back on with double stitching. You could do that before your trip. But your
version might be double stitched already. Thanks to probably me they do that now

.
As for the rubber tail, I snapped one of those too. That was from pulling the skins off with skis on. If you pull the skins off holding the skin, that won’t happen.
And yes, the rubber tail is much narrower than normal pomaca.
