Hi !

Hope Bob's around, because I've just found those on ebay, and I can't remember him ever quoting them, even once. No info either on Force Fin web page.

Does anybody know something about them ?

Have a nice night !

Interesting,,,,the Beaver Force Fin. Found several designs of the Beaver Force this last month. Kind of forgot . Mostly sold to UK Marines, several hundred pairs. I made so many other designs never to be seen till I do a Force Fin book or exhibit. For now our WATER project CHESS+EVANS LLC is far more important than swim fins. But I had John Iweks make a logo for us, Thanks for sharing.

Nice logo, but let me add, once more : write that book ! :wink:
 
Cleaning today and guess what found some Beaver Force pictures. Note the ribbing on the backside with tip vortex generators. A adjustable foot pocket which the UK Marines liked for their combat boots. Really developed for surface swimmers. Nice curved blade and used our

winglet technology. Made over 30 years ago.
 
Thanks for sharing. I was wondering what the ribbing was for.
 
Well have a box full of several Beaver Force Fin blades. They will need the hardware for the adjustable foot pocket. These blades were the first design, FLAT. Later put a curve into the design and added the Winglet Technology. Found one pair RED Tan Delta. For you JMBL...This Force Fin Design works wonderful for snorkeling.

Thank for the info Bob. So I guess they were designed especially for recon divers ?
