Force Fin production resumes. We've been working with a polyurethane production facility in Pennsylvania for a number of years. They've been exclusively making our Float Fube Force Fins - for the fly fishing industry - and adjustable slim fins - for swimming - and rip force fins - for body boarding. When they heard our predicament, that we had lost production for our diving fins, their chemists and engineers kicked into gear to increase the capacity of Force Fins they can make. To make sure all goes as planned, it will be a staged process, beginning with our best selling Pro Model Force Fins - which we've reactivated for ordering at ForceFin.com. The rest will come back online as the details of their production are worked out.
What a lot of people don't realize is that Force Fins are a craftsmanship product. They are not mass produced like other fins. Each one is hand crafted, handled through at least 8 specialized processes, not to mention the special nature of the chemistry that is mixed to give Force Fins their high rebound and extreme durability. It can only be made by quality molders.
It was a long haul, full of political intrigue, and plenty of "how'd we fall into this vortex?" But, as in life, business has its good times and its challenges. Force Fin has weathered the test of time, and it will continue to be the icon that propels us through the underwater world as freely as the marine mammals that inspired my designs.
