The other day, a local Dive shop owner told me he had a great idea for a fin. He wondered if I would like to make it and I asked him if he had $ 60,000 dollars. He looked shocked. But after developing many Patented fin designs I learn the true cost of development. Now scanning past concepts I thought it might be fun to share. BAF, stood for " Blade Action Fin " and had a enclosed foot pocket that was bulbous allowing the toes to move freely, like the original Force Fin. Each day I will post images of this model which never hit the market for many reasons...
A link to this thread was added to the History of Diving Gear forum because of its value in documenting the history of diving gear development.

Don't be confused if you suddenly find yourself in the Force Fin forum.
