Where have they been spotted?

I suspect the material cost is so high that even if you reduced labor cost by 4/5, they wouldn't sell in enough volume for an established manufacturer to bother. Especially since a) it's not easy to explain the advantages, you really have to try them and b) the "advanced" diver seems to want to emulate the tech divers' frog kick and paddle fins even in environments where you can utilize the more efficient flutter kick (in appropriate fins) without issues.

All I know is the material is same as roller blades wheel ....polyurethane...or something like that ...

We have sold over a Million pairs of Force Fins and now have a rather large order for the Japanese Navy. Many factors play a role in today's world. But I plan on making 10 million dollars next year in the swim fin market. I have been thinking about Bill Mesitrell's handmade swim fins, It might be a good way for divers to save money and make their fins. Everyone has an old pair of shoes hanging around. My first pair of Force Fins were made from chicken wire and resin. They worked well, other than being super stiff.

We do not plan to go out of business. Just running below the surface while we rearrange our torpedos. Thanks for the support. As an Underwater photographer, I like to cover as much area as my air supply would allow. Mostly used Hooka later in life. Bev Morgan photographedBob Evans Photography me in my first swim fin VOIT. 1971, Anacapa Island. Later I dove with Jet fins for over 20 years. Here I am with Astronaut Scott Carpenter on the Emerald. After a 150 foot dive on Wilson Rock, San Miguel Island, California. —photo
