I was amazed and saddened last weekend when I saw my Hollis F1 had starting ripping/tearing. I thought the material was a little stronger than this.

Hollis - will you replace this fin? I haven't abused them. Seems like a weak point in the seam or something. I absolutely love this fin, but would have a hard time buying a replacement set for something like this.

I hope they make it through the next 4 days... I have UTD Tech 1 training this weekend.

Thanks,

Justin

Did you contact the shop you bought it from? That is where you'd go first and likley get it faster if they have a set in stock.

Hey Nick,

Scubatoys tells me they received them and sent them back to you. I had to borrow a pair of fins today for diving... I really miss my F1s. Any word on what is going on?

Hi Justin,

Your replacements are scheduled to ship by early next week to Scuba Toys. XL F1's are becoming a very popular size making them hard to come by

Thanks for your patience.

I have the same problem with BOTH fins after 50 dives =((
It's hard for me to return them, because the purchase was made in the internet store :crying2:
