Beating the “system”

[lexvil]

Thanks to a buddy with close ties to Europe I have obtained the forbidden (in the U.S.) orange Skegs for my S tek and Super nova fins

These will replace my painted ones, yes it’s silly, so what

New on bottom and old on top

Ok, I have to ask, why are they verboten in the US?
I can buy them here for US $5.88 [AU $9] in all colours.

Because scubapro says so, it doesn’t make sense but it is what it is, they control their regions with an iron fist.

Looks like a job for a 3D printer.

I thought as much, As you say "it doesn't make sense" .
I tried to buy a SP part from a well known overseas scuba store and I was not allowed to due to a Scubapro policy, I bought the same part at a fraction of the cost from India [with postage] and arrived in quick time also.
I have been able to source every part required here except this one piece, I just found a 'work around' for it.
You guys are being screwed over, I only wish postage was cheaper to the US so I can help you guys out, but we are screwed over by Australia Post pricing.

It’s an astonishing silly policy especially when it comes to things like this where it’s a color restriction. Shipping costs are also becoming a bit nuts, we all get to pay for the deep discounts given to the big dogs.

Reminds me of something seen years ago on certain Force Fins.

Yes they are available in some colors and it would appear I care about colors.
