Force Fins without Logo ???

[cyclone3565]

My neighbor gave me a pair of Forcefins, Size L and they are in beautiful condition. He said he had only used them a couple times and they sure look like it. Almost like new. I have been diving Force Fins for about 15 years, but only have the one pair of Pros I wear with my hard soles. I would wear these with soft booties or buy a pair of Insteps and wear them barefoot.

They do have the Nylon straps, but are missing the Logo on the face of the fin. He could not remember when he purchased them, so I am trying to figure out roughly how old they are, before I take them on a vacation.

Thank you in advance.

Can you post a photo? Are the tags still on the straps?

I am at work right now. They look identical to my Yellow XL's, except the Yellow is not as "Neony". In regard to the straps, one has the Logo tag and one does not, but they look just like my XL's. They feel snappy and everything appears to be the same, except the Logo on the Top of the wing.

My main thoughts are that (a) I would not want to use/have people see a fake pair and (b) the age vs. material decomposition. I would hate for them to break or something, who knows. They are snappy and don't seem to be brittle at all. These are like new.

Why don't you ask Bob Evans directly ? He is around the forum quite often.

I didn't know where to find him on here and hope he would pick up on the post.

Yeah he might get it, but in case : here's his last thread Force Fin Designs

Thanks so much. I started a conversation with him and hopefully he will respond.

Thank you again

No sweat, a forum is there to exchange ideas.

Let us know what he says. Post a pic or two.
