Yup!
Larry and I have been working on these fins for over a year now...
The new ProBox composit(plastic) fin
Two comperable fins...similar size...only slightly different template
the first weighing in at 78g or about 2.75oz for one fin
the new ProBox fin at 62g or 2.18oz
So we are clear
16g(.56oz) lighter than its counterpart
That's over 1/2oz PER FIN!!!
As if that wasn't enough...to my knowledge, these are the first fins in the world made from
100% RECYCLED MATERIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so proud to be a part of such an amazing achievement.

Not the first, but probably (most likely) the first large scale manufacturer to do so. Had a friend in Mex about 10-12 years ago, making FCS knockoffs out of recycled milk cartons. Worked pretty well, but broke too easily. I'm sure the ones you guys are making will be considerably stronger.
FCS was doing a "green fin" a while back, but it was 50% recycled (still a noble effort IMO).
Keep up the good work, they look great!

surfthis, You are right strenght in the recycled world is a tricky factor which is why it took 9 monthes to complete this project. Almost thru my hands up a couple of times, LOL. Milk cartons pretty cool concept, LOVE that out of the BOX thinking.Mahalo,Larry
