[cool][#0000ff]I have made "make do" repairs on a few seams over the years. Looks like that seam failure was in the PVC section. Heavy fabric. Just get a stout needle and some size D rod wrapping nylon thread. Deflate the tube, remove the bladder and turn the cover inside out. Now do a stitch job. Might need some pliers for pushing and pulling the needle through the PVC fabric. Finish it up by making a bead of Aquaseal along the repair and let it cure. If you do it right it will be virtually invisible from the outside.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Option B is to take it to a shop that makes or repairs tents and awnings. They have heavy commercial sewing machines than can make quick work of such a repair. But, again, it is a good idea to reinforce the repair with some Aquaseal.[/#0000ff]
