Force Fin Pro Plastic Bungie Replacement Parts

[cire]

I recently bought the Bungie Replacement kit for the Force Fin Pro, and unfortunately the Shock Cord Screw Mount clip broke upon adjusting the length. The bungie no longer stays locked in place due to this, and it was after I had already installed the screw and bushing with lock-tite sealed up.

I have been trying to contact the Force Fin team via their contact form and also via PM to Bob Evans on this forum to see if they could send me a replacement set of screw/bushing/shock cord mount but am not getting a response.

Bob, if you are reading this, could you let me know if you would please cover this as warranty?

Just in case you want to use your fins, before getting the repair kit : you can tie a knot at each end of the shock cord and be able to slip your fins on.

I had the same problem 2 years back while diving : the plastic thingie got busted on the boat (some guys are hopeless while handling tanks). We were 40 minutes aways from port, so I improvised that (on an inflatable, with the surf) and could enjoy my dive.

THAT is EXACTLY what I do. I just tie a knot at the end of the bungee.

That's a jolly strange reaction to a positive and helpful comment. Bob - some of us are ON your side.

Hey Bob!
Not sure, what happened there! We have at least 10 pairs in Force Fins since I have 3 sons who dive and insist on using ONLY your fins. Just bought another pair last month to keep in the States when we return so that we don't have to transport back and forth.
I am 100% pro Force Fin!

Love the comfort of the bungee. I had once mishap in all my years. The coupling came loose when I was getting back into a RHIB boat in the Baltic Sea. The fin fell off of my foot into the Sea. I had already ditched my rig so I had no weights. I chased it down to about 15 feet as it was sinking on 1 breath when I had to give it up. It was one of my Tan Delta's Extra Force w. whiskers. I could have died!

Fortunately, the Captain tagged the GPS location so we picked up the rest of the divers then returned to the spot. I dived again with the remaining air. I was getting to the point where I was going to have to give up when I found it!!! YEAH! I then decided to tie a knot in the bungee so that the coupling wasn't the only thing holding it and have never looked back!

I wouldn't dive without Force Fins! Just last autumn we were back in the States and diving in San Diego on the Yukon. Current was rather stout at depth and my 17-year-old son had to dive with rentals. He got so exhausted trying to stay on the wreck that he had to forego the subsequent dive.

I calculated the cost and it was more cost effective to buy another set of Force Fins to just leave in the States instead of renting junk!

Only POSITIVE BOB!
Love you!
