Force Fin and Ocean Futures Society salutes the freedom of all marine mammals everywhere. This piece was shot in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands under the ocean’s surface off the island of Kure during a Ocean Futures Society/KQED expedition for the Jean-Micheal Cousteau Ocean Adventures TV series “Voyage to Kure”

designed and built exclusively for the Ocean Futures Society Dive Team.

Truly a smart design and with the ability to adjust the blade to various stiffness and shape on the fly – puts it in a class of its own.
Enjoy this video as we salute all of the free swimming Marine Mammals of the world.

A look into an overnight trip with staff and volunteers gathering data for PISCO’s – Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Costal Oceans- ongoing recruitment study in the Northern Channel islands. Blair Mott guides us with his camera as he learns more about the recruitment study and becomes part of the action. http://www.piscoweb.org/
Bob Evans performs a Flip Test with his Force Fins made out a special Tan Delta Polyurethane material.
What do your fins do when you try a Flip Test ?
Force Fins are made of an exclusive version of polyurethane that, besides being resistant to ultraviolet radiation, abrasion and chemicals, is heat-treated for 16 hours at temperatures that would melt other fins. Force Fins won’t wilt when exposed to tropical heat, nor will they harden when ice diving. This special heat-treating process allows the molecules to cross-link into long chains, which gives the material its remarkable resiliency and “snap” or elasticity. This adds to the performance and responsiveness of the fin as it allows it to flex and bend over and over without cracking or fatiguing.

Our manufacturing process also results in a material that has outstanding “memory” Force Fins hold their shape in all conditions. In fact, you can take a Force Fin, bend and clamp it in half, leave it for weeks, and when released, it will spring back to its original shape. Try that with any other fin!

This is not a how to Frog Kick video, just a simple demonstration in the movements of Frog Kicking with a Tan Delta Force Fin. The movements are over exaggerated for a reason and yes it is in a pool and we are looking forward to the next shoot. See the Frog kick in the Excllerating Force Fin
