Shaq - Michael Phelps - Men's Health & Slim Fins

Crazy days are when you receive a late Friday afternoon call, "We need your fins next day air, early morning delivery on Saturday to Fort......" This time, the call came from ABC, who needed a pair of Force Fins for Shaq to wear in a swim against Olympic Gold Medalist Michael Phelps. Shaq has a 23 size foot and he knows I am the man for fin sizing options.

Today, I was reviewing ForceFin.com website stats and much to my surprise, there were thousands of hits coming in from an article in Men's Health, where Writer Matt Bean in an interview of Michael Phelps recommends our Slim Fins.


I swim with Slim Fins every morning at Los Banos, our city pool in Santa Barbara, California

Terrestris Fins

I had an epiphany while caring for my father. Traditional fins are now Terrestris Fins! They are better suited for walking in water than gracefully and fluidly becoming an aquatic being. I have found the Achilles heel to all other fins. It's your foot. If you try to talk about fins, it's like talking about politics or religion. We can not agree and just get uptight and bent out of shape. As stated "He who is convinced against his will is of the same opinion still"

But if we focus on our feet then we can all relate. How our foot relates to the aquatic experience is everything and I will slowly peel the layers off the onion. Each layer will expose why you do not want to use Terrestris Fins.Common sense will be your guide leading you to Force Fins and having a true aquatic expereince!
