new force fin owner/fan

[PEDiamond]

just got my first pair of force fins..everything you guys said is true…comfortable, effortless, feels like nothing on my feet, love them BUT…have trouble taking them off in the water …no problem getting the bungee strap off, love the design with tab which makes it easier to get the bungee off than my jet fins, but is there a technique to removing the fin one-handed while holding on to the boat ladder? I vaguely remember Bob saying somewhere you could use them without heel straps if you had to and he was right, the dynamics seem to drive my foot deeper into the pocket and create a suction fit which I think is why I am having trouble removing them….I have a stiff back which doesn't help…any tricks or do I just work on it?

PeDiamond, The Force Fin is Forcing it's self on your foot...nice. Thanks for the kind words. Picked this up on the Fins mask forum "(i.e. please don't recommend something really expensive like Force Fins). I am glad your appreciate the material cost that goes in each pair of Force Fin. 90% of fins are made with #CHEAPPLASTIC and #CHEAPLABOR. Our average cost for manufacturing is around $100.00 pair, and $19.50 for a overseas fin. We use hand -cast Polyurethane right here in America. To really understand the Force, do the flip test with your fin. So, if you have a #CHEAP #SHOEFIN you can tell what's it really worth with a FIN Flip..just like flipping a coin. Head's or Tails. Thanks again. Best, Bob https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HSVq1qMigw
