Paul Tzimoulis was like a Father to me. As the publisher and editor of Skin Diver Magazine for over 35 years, he helped guide my underwater photographic career. I love this picture he took of me on Bonaire Island. I was on assignment for National Wildlife magazine. It must have been the early 1970s
when I fooled around with him. I sure miss those days.

Without Robbie Mesitrell Force Fin would not have become the World's finest fin. The Meistrell Family helped me develop my product. A very long story. Here we are in my 28 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara workshop

Got sad news that our friend John Chased had passed on. John was super cool and helped us with many foam-formed productions. He devised the comfort instep idea https://forcefin.com/product/comfort-instep/to) to make the Force Fin foot pocket more comfortable while barefoot. He also worked with Susanne on the SD-1 Project. We will miss you, John, but soon behind you to be in Heaven,

Yesterday, I got a call from our old-time Force Fin dealers. Niki and Steve Bowles from Professional Diving Resources, Ohio.
Niki had graduated from Divers Institute of Technology here in Seattle. Susanne and I had a chance to be introduced to training divers and staff. What an amazing Diving School. Divers Institute - Divers Institute of Technology

Laura joined our Force Fin Community and I forgot our biggest selling point. Fewer leg cramps, a good foot design, and more. Her comments woke me up to this wonderful way to keep those who cramp up diving. Please come join us with your stories. COMMUNITY - Force Fins | Worlds Finest Fins for Swimming, Diving, Bellyboating
I had the most incredible encounter with Force Fins and owners Susanne and Bob. I have
been suffering from severe leg cramps, and on our last dive, we had to do an emergency ascent
from 82 feet – pretty scary and so painful. I’ve done a ton of research on the causes of this level
of leg cramps, working with a naturopath on supplements to help and exercises to strengthen,
but I also knew it was the fins…my typical ordinary dive fins were a huge factor in causing my
leg cramps. I’m very athletic, so figuring out my next step was key for many reasons.
In my research, I quickly learned about Force Fins and their unique design, which is exceptional
in many ways and ideal for relieving leg cramps. The design frees your toes (tight toes can
cause the Achilles tendon to cramp) and allows you to fin your muscles naturally. Regular fins
work against what your body is used to doing athletically.
I asked for Force Fins from Santa and didn’t get them, and then completely forgot about my
cramping plight until I was about a week away from our dream trip to Australia to dive the outer
reef. I contacted Force Fins and was immediately helped by Susanne on the phone and via text.
She heard my story and literally went out of her way to find a solution to get me some fins for
our big trip on time. I was so touched and blown away.
These two care and it shows in the quality of their product and the customer care.
Thank you, Susanne and Bob!
Warmly,

Bev Morgan my Mentor and friend caught me taking pictures of a large Elephant Seal at San Miguel Island, California Channel Islands. In the end I captured this image. I was attending Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara California. 1971.
