    Going Down ?

    I've been a teacher off and on for 25 years. I'm not surprised its difficult to find workers and that others don't show up and aren't reliable. School administration and parents never enforce kids showing up to class at all or on time. They wouldn't do any work and if I failed them...

    TIME

    Nice to see all the Force Fin love. My tan delta hockey fins are my favorites but my extras were my go to for almost a decade. They performed in every situation. I dropped one in French Polynesia above the dropoff that goes down to 10,000ft +. I was heart broken as I watched it sink in the...

    Good ideas that never made it.

    I'm glad to see the math that verifies what I estimated years ago. I did practically the same comparison using skate board wheels knowing force fins were the same material and after seeing a "how it's made" documentary on skate board wheels. I never bought into planned obsolescence. I would...

    If my money manager(the old ball and chain) wouldn't kill me, I would buy a pair of the stiffer blade SD1's to keep in the bottom of my suitcase in case I lose a fin. I have big feet so I couldn't fit in a borrowed a pair, nor would I want to, of regular fins. I like the camo swirl ones.

    A few years ago I bought a pair of OPS off ebay. Bob, can you tell me the intended purpose of the 2nd pair of fins that aren't attached?

    I have a set. It took a few years but I found it on ebay. The biggest obstacle to use is it has 3 triple tanks in it which are about 35 years old and most places won't hydro or fill them even though mine are like new. And you'll have to be creative to attach a BC. I spent my first few years...

    Glad to hear you are OK. You had me worried. I'm sure the ice cold CA water doesn't help.

    Bob, you haven't dove in 8 years? Medical issues? I think I was diving in the Caymans back then and people at the resort, I think it was Cobalt Coast, said you just left. They recognized my red tan deltas and said the inventor was there the week before. I'm not sure if it was true. Is...

    Their reviews always seemed biased to me. I never bought the magazine because of it. I occasionally looked at copies at Barnes and Noble. Even the travel reviews of best places to go were obviously paid for by advertises. Only good thing with that was travel to some of the best spots is...

    I've been using my purple Hockey Fins for the last few weeks when I dive. They are the best kicking fins of all my Force Fins. I've been getting the usual odd looks on the dive boat. Today another diver was skeptical how well they worked until a hammerhead shark went by on the dive. I left...

    Do you have any videos of you playing underwater hockey? I've watched a couple on youtube. Post a link if you have one of you playing in force fins.

    Hi, I used the hockey fins in the ocean today and they rocked. They are the best fins for me. I like them better than my extras and my originals in tan delta. Besides working wonderfully, the color is awesome. In certain light they look dark purple, at other times a smokey grey with hints of...

    Are you allowed to use hockey fins to play underwater hockey? Maybe I misunderstood

    I couldn't wait so I tried them out in my tiny, cold backyard pool and they worked great. I can see why they banned them from underwater hockey. I swim a few laps underwater everyday in my originals. I could tell I was moving faster with the hockey fins and they didn't require much more...

    I received the fins and all the extra's and very much appreciate everything. My plan is to take the hockey fins to the pool tomorrow and the ocean on Friday. The speed pods will go on my extras, my wife has already use the whackerspoon for her nightly ice cream and the gaspods are going on my...

    I agree. There's a reason I don't live in CA. It used to be paradise. All my friends that moved there and set up businesses in the 80's and 90's have left and taken their taxes with them. Since the 80's, when I go to LA I've been staying in the same hotel in Santa Monica. Last time I was...

    Thanks for all the extra info. I like to learn about the things I use, especially something I love as much as Force Fins. Force Fins kept me in the water. I broke/sprained both ankles playing football from chop blocks, which are illegal now. Imagine a 300lb player hitting you in the ankle 40...

    It's probably going to take a couple of dives to get my legs used to them with the extra snap but that's what I want. Dove with my red tan delta extras on Saturday for the first time in months and my legs were tired that evening. Thanks again for everything.
