The bonding appears to be inconsistent.
In some places the adhesive has separated from either the skin or the structure cleanly. Looks as if it didn't take properly.
However if you look at the area just inboard of the tip it appears that the bonding held but the surface of the composite tore off. That looks like a solid bond to me with the joint destroyed by the force of the skin being peeled in the airflow.
