Paul Tzimoulis was like a Father to me. As the publisher and editor of Skin Diver Magazine for over 35 years, he helped guide my underwater photographic career. I love this picture he took of me on Bonaire Island. I was on assignment for National Wildlife magazine. It must have been the early 1970s

when I fooled around with him. I sure miss those days.
 
Without Robbie Mesitrell Force Fin would not have become the World's finest fin. The Meistrell Family helped me develop my product. A very long story. Here we are in my 28 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara workshop

Got sad news that our friend John Chased had passed on. John was super cool and helped us with many foam-formed productions. He devised the comfort instep idea https://forcefin.com/product/comfort-instep/to) to make the Force Fin foot pocket more comfortable while barefoot. He also worked with Susanne on the SD-1 Project. We will miss you, John, but soon behind you to be in Heaven,
