A rare moment in time-

Usually Blair creates our ForceFin2020 videos at his home studio, but today is a rare moment in time to see him through my office door window working on another video
 
Bob, just wanted to say after looking back on the first page again, that is one of the CLEANEST molds I have ever seen made. That is an unparalleled level of craftsmanship.
 
Big Gonz, Thank you for your kind words. Our production molds are amazing and I have made several thousand molds since 1971. I even Patented a method of making non-mold fins which were called the Fab Force. I will using this process to make a unreal freediving fin and will share the concept here on my Favorite ScubaBoard.
 
Today was a first for Force Fin. We have had people stop by our HQ from to time from all over the world. First time Force Finners to decades long time Force Fin veterans. Today we had three guys from the Army land in Goleta after flying on a training mission. While refueling and taking their down time they called and soon we were off to the airport.

Juan and Bob with the Pilots


“my fins that were originally issued to me started to tear so I started looking into who was using what. I saw the videos and reviews and information and then I remembered the guys that were using them in Hawaii when I was stationed over there and thought it is time for Force Fins.”

It was great to meet the guys and to talk diving and flying. Smith was really excited to get into the water with his new Force Fin PROS and Bob gifted him the hat right off his head.

-Had to get in the shot-

As we parted they mentioned they would fly over on their way out and sure enough Bob was right out in the parking lot when they flew by with a smile and a new pair of Force Fin PROS. This was a first!

Thank you again for all your service and commitment to our country and its citizens it was great to meet you guys!

Thanks Blair for posting. What a day!. Juan's son Jonathan wants to become a Astronaut, and both of us have never been out on the tarmac ( Yes we had to check in ) to deliver Force fin's to the U.S. Army. I am sure he, like me is sharing the moment, thanks for making it all happen... what's next...
 
True! That would have looked really cool driving around Santa Barbara!
