@SkiJay I understand the thousands of hours you have to put into design. I totally appreciate the time and effort. I did the same thing many times designing waterski and speed skating equipment. The money I threw in the trash can was phenomenal but R & D is what makes it all happen. In my mind though I just have to eat most of those costs to have a marketable product. My price is little higher than most of the competition even though my products are much more expensive to produce and there is a world of difference when it comes to performance, quality, reliability, and longevity. So again I can appreciate everything you are doing. I just can not justify 300 for a fin for my usage. I am sure there are a few that would go there to try to get another ball or two, but it would seam to make more sense if they were 100-150 or even up to 200 and many many more people bought them to create users, proof, and consistent cash flow. I am not sure my reasoning works with fins but it was crucial for me to get my products on as many feet on the ice as possible in order for them to get to the Olympics winning medals to create the proof. Sorry if this seams like a rant. It is not, just me thinking out loud.
