Finally got my SD-1's!!!

[TN Traveler]

I think Bob has made so many varieties/iterations of fins that sometimes he loses track of what is what.

I was under the impression that all the "clear" blades were part of the Fab Fins experiments.

How wide are the SD-1 Pockets at the ball of the foot area? I need about 4.25-4.5" depending on Wet/Dry 2 styles of each.

Well getting organized. 35, SD-1 Military blades.SD-1 Military Proof of Concept Fins - Force Fin Found a few pair where the blade stiffness is off a bit. So these might work well with some diver who has a weak leg. But will give major discount and a few pairs with Right side foot pockets. Sure some one would like a discount for the trouble. Going to take some time to get into the other models. The material for the blades is Urethane film RF welded with cast Polyurethane pumped into fin form. Colors go from Yellow, Blue, Black and purple. Won a international Design award for the process and did Patent the process. Patents ran out years ago, but these SD-1 will never be made again. The cost was very high and these Force Fins will be a collector item down the road.
