And that is an understatement.
I was an old-time diver, I started in 1967 or so. I got a certification before certification was at all formalized in my state. And I have not done much fin-work since maybe 15 years ago.
But I like to design and build stuff. AT one time I had one set of those Farallon brace fins back in the day. They worked very poorly for me until I modified them. Then they were super good for long run cruising. Others have done that mod as well, I have learned recently.
This left a taste in my mouth for inventing improvements.
Anyway I have a new, half developed fin, which will take more effort to finish than I can muster. So in hopes that others will advance the concept, I'm going to give it up to the public.
So that is the only reason I registered with this forum. I will start a new thread, post the patent that I registered as provisional with the USPO. And then see if there are any questions or comments that are interesting.
