It cant be 10,000 US$... 170eur is something like 250usd, so for 4 blades thats 1000$.
BTW... thats the price for a spare blade??? 170 eur??? Thats insane ! Someone is charging hell'of a lot for a blade.
After I'm done with my new fins, I'll go into development of carbon fibre fin for hockey. But already now, I know that the price for new pair of blades wont be 170eur, and hopefully there is a good chance they wont break at all with a normal use, and even if they do, the spare blade shouldnt cost more than 50-60 eur - and thats for carbon fibre, that is even more costly than fiberglass or vitroplast!
