Scubapro Jetfins: Anyone notice they're harder to find?

What do you mean they never wear out, a guy from our shop just riped the foot pocket on his that he purchased in 1979!

WOW! 39 years is not bad

Well, there are many pairs around that are way older than that!
They've been around since 1966.
Maybe he tried to shove a giant foot into a smaller size?

I was at our shop Sports Unlimited yesterday and I believe I saw a XXL set of Jet Fins on the rack. Give Tony a call and ask him if they are still there.

I just went by the shop and we do have a pair of XXL in stock.

haha, dumb me! that should be 52 :bonk:.. i guess im just bad with numbers, in fact i still think im 20.. thanks to the people who developed the computer

Is this because of a shortage, a new batch that is being produced, or something else?

I attended a SP Reg Clinic last year and I seem to remember a couple of reps discussing the suprising increase in JetFin sales and that SP was thinking of opening another production line to handle the demand.

What I was told is that scubapro was moving to a new production facility so they have stopped producing them at there old location but haven't started at their new location yet. On top of that the military basically bought whatever stock they had on hand. I have no idea if this is true or not, thats what the guy at my local shop told me when I bought my pair.

I believe they have also introduced a new size to fit the infamous gap between XL and XXL. I don't know what they call it.
