Any plans to distribute TUSA Kail fins to western countries?

[David Wilson]

I note that TUSA is marketing its "Kail" fins in Japan:
Kail FF-16 Fins

Fins : FF-16 / X-Pert Zoom
Does TUSA plan some time in the future to distribute these attractive full-foot fins here in Europe too for the benefit of traditionalists like me who prefer such classic offerings to what is currently available hereabouts for snorkellers and divers?

I'd doubt it. There are several models of Tusa and ScubaPro fins only available here in Japan. There are also several brands only available here such as Mew. All are rubber and all appear to me regardless of brand to be from the same factory. I could of course be wrong.

Thanks for that, and in that case I guess "Plan B" now applies for anyone who wants TUSA Kails, namely find a stockist willing to export to Europe. In the past, specialist eBay sellers have sometimes come up trumps.

There are also several brands only available here such as Mew.

In the case of Gull Mew fins, some progress has been made in improving their availability outside Japan, thanks to helpful retailers who are prepared to ship worldwide. I already own a pair of white Mews thanks to Marinetone - Marinetone Scuba Diving Gears of Hong Kong, which sold me the fins and dispatched them faster to the UK than even some British equipment suppliers are prepared to do. CanAm Underwater Hockey Gear can also be a reliable international source of Gull Mews.
