Hopefully you can epoxy it back which will stave off destruction until you can get a new pair.

If you don't want to spend the money at the shop, you can try to fix them at home but it's a bit tough.  Are they in pretty good shape besides that part of the edge?  You can do a lot with some marine epoxy and a dremel tool to make them hold up longer.  I've got some old troublemakers with several blown edges and after epoxying them up, they're still ridable.  Let me know if you want more tips on how to do it yourself...

make sure u put some tape on ur base before u put epoxy in there or you will have issue's when getting the exess off (if u do it yourself)
