I will never forget the look on Zeagle President's face. (Picture) Force Fin had a Zeagle sales team for many years and helped grow our sales. Then, they saw the money and decided to make their fin. Sadly, I had shared my new developments with them, and they came out with a knock-off from our Fab line. Looking back, it was an exciting time for Susanne and me.
