Force Fin Collectibles

[Bob Evans]

Cleaning out a warehouse of Force Fin History. Personally it is very amazing to see how many molds I made and all the different fin designs. It's been over seven years since I worked in my work shop at 715 Kimbal Street, Santa Barbara, California. Force fin is growing, but it is time to share American Force Fin History. Enjoy. Collectible – Extra Force Mold 164 with Tan Delta Fin Made in it – Force Fin

Only one fin? What is this, underwater NASCAR?

You can own the first Excellerating Force fin mold and a Tan Delta Blue Excellerating blade. Named Water Force at first. This is likely the first mold made for the product. This wonderful fin was made for Captian Billy Deans, who was a leader in the Tek Diving World, Key West Divers. The single fins were to stiff to sell, yet to beautiful to toss out. Plus we paid the production cost. Collectible – Water Force made 11-3-95 – Force Fin

Kind of interesting the lack of interest in my tooling. Yesterday we recycled over $30,000 worth of tooling for cash $125.60. Dumped all the other companies fins in the trash. Was a larege collection going back to the early 1940"s. Found many OPS and Fab Force fin blades that I will sell. Mean while back at the ranch ..the dumpster says FEED ME.....

Those SD-1 look so nice Bob! I'd be interested in a pair if/when you ever decide to sell them. What made them special to the military market in general?

Thanks, I looked over the 14 pairs and they have a velcro strap system. We later made a change without using the velcro. It was hard to adjust strap length quickly...but other than than they are super cool and special. Each pair is worth thousands of dollars, but will offer a fair price. Found others with clear blades and will post those also. I took pictures of the strap system and the cool recycle non-slip bottom. Special Stuff – Force Fin
