Hello Force Finners,

A lot has happened since the last Force Fin press release and we thought this would be a nice way to catch everyone up on what is going on in the Force Fin world.

The Force Fin family was pleasantly surprised to find out we were part of an article featured in this month's issue (June '05) of "Men's Health" magazine. On stands now in "Men's Health Adventure" section you will find an article entitled "Nature's Perfect Exercise, Beginner's Guide to Swimming" by Matt Bean. This article focuses on swim techniques put together by six time Olympic gold medallist and owner of three world records Michael Phelps along with Terry Laughlin Director of Total Immersion Adult Swim Camps. One area of focus when swimming is your feet as Phelps states, "If you're a good kicker, you're a good swimmer." The article goes on to point out that the key to a good kick is turning your feet into fins, making them flexible to create snap on the downward stroke. "If your feet don't flex well, buy a set of kicking fins (we like the Slim Fin, forcefin.com) to add flexibility." Please run out and pickup this month's "Men's Health" on stands until June 21st.

Force Fin hits a record-breaking month in sales for May! May was a great month for Force Fin. As the weather is finally clearing up around the country the orders for summer have been rolling in. The snow is melting away in the north and in the mountains making for full lakes and rivers promising to bring a great year for float tube fishing. Great weather and good ocean conditions have also helped drive sales in scuba diving. Thank you to all of our dealers.

We have also just added world renowned underwater photographer & author Lawson Wood to the testimonials page located at forcefin.com. Lawson has written over 30 historical and diving guide books and is a Fellow of the British Institute of Professional Photographers solely for underwater photography. Lawson states, "As a traveling underwater photographer and author, I can honestly say that Bob Evans and his Force Fins have changed my life." Please visit the Words of the Wise section and click on "Testimonials" to see how Force Fins have helped Woods and many other divers.
