What a joke!

BTW: Omer came out with clear fins a few years ago- called the "tuna Ice". They were supposed to make your profile shorter in the water so that you could sneak up on fish easier- yes, they were long bladed spearfishing fins.

The had one flaw- they cracked. I think that most pairs went back in under warrenty. That's what made their claim of being durable a joke.

As far as the design goes........... : Smile

Those Gill Fins are actually kind of neat looking from a slick marketing point of view...

It would be kind of fun to get a pair and actually try them. But I really like my big black ugly jetfins.

My name is Bond....James Bond...... ;D

It looks like they might even have a built in knife in there somewhere. 8)

Swiss army fins. Big Grin

Just goes to show you what happens when an unemployed, scuba diving, engineer cannot sleep at night. Wink

I love these lines:

This is far removed from merely a cosmetic change it is more like the neogenesis of diving fins. In a nutshell; previous fin designs were basically only in two dimensions whereas these fins utilizes the third dimension as well

What the heck does "neogenesis of diving fins" mean? I never realized that my old turtle fins were only two dimensional. My diving has been lacking the third dimension this whole time.

I know - i feel so inferior now!

This is kind of a nice quote as well:

MATERIAL. The fins are manufactured from a transparent thermoplastic material called polycarbonate. This material is a real space age plastic material, as a matter of fact it was there on the moon during the first moon landings.

But who knows - the things may actually work!

Actually, that line right there tells you that their technology is ONLY 33 years old. : Smile

Besides..I didnt see Neil with a pair on when the EAGLE LANDED ;D
