Scott Price signs one of his latest posters. Scott has been a Icon Professional Surf photographer for decades, best know for his hallmark poster " Seven Surfing Dolphins"
He has been using Force Fins to get the shots in the tube for over 20 years. Keep an eye out at forcefin.com for specials on fins and his posters as well and a new Force Fin surf strap system.
Bob and I are looking forward to hitting the Surf with Scott latter this week at Coal Oil Point.

We received a call last week for Mr. Shaquille O'Neil. He needed the very best fins he could find to fit his size 23 foot, to give him a competitive edge in a challenge swim against Olympic gold medalist, Michael Phelps. Shaq chose a Ruby Red Tan Delta Flying ForceForce Fin SCUBA fins with a comfort instep, size xxl numbered 66. We will see how he did on ABC.
 
Dear Mr. Bird, now I was wondering why I was getting so many hits from Goggle and found thistp://http://menshealth.com/mhlists/swimming_workout_guide/Drag_Your_Feet.php Time to go swimming with the Sharks? No one a ABC will give us any news on how things turned out with Phelps and Shaq. Tell me I have turned off my T.V. for over 30 years now. Who has time to watch so many commercials other than your Oceanic Research tapes..Love Bob
 
Typically all the fans at the pool and press gathered would be under an NDA to not reveal what happened until the show airs.

It airs Sept. 15. There's some pics from the event, but none show Shaq in fins.
 
Yesterday I left Force Fin Headquarters with a pair of XL Force Fin Foils strapped to my backpack. As I was riding my bike to the harbor and prepare a small zodiac for some open water testing I felt relief that I would now have an opinion on a Force Fin model that I have have never tested.

We ripped out of the harbor and headed through the Wet Wednesday Sailing Race ( you have no options where we were going)

Once we found safe water with a bit of Kelp we hit the water. We Free dove with 3 different models of Force Fins. Excellerating, Force Fin Foils, and the Flying Force Fins most of the early night.

Nanthan Dembeck enters the water with his Excellerating Force Fins. I am sure we can all come up with a good caption - sorry ND

Then I took the Flying Force for a quick jump with a small 30 cubic foot tank for a light inspection dive. As far as me coming up with an opinion on the Force Fin Foils - I must remember the golden rule - Always give Force Fins 3 or 4 dives before you make an opinion. Looking forward to getting wet soon!
