I like the c4 footpocket design, its definetly revolutionarry, but I have my doubts if this design nails it for hockey players.

I tried andronov footpocket for similar to my foot - amazing footpocket. These footpockets are a peace of the art, thats for sure! The thing is, that this type of production isnt viable for me. They are extremly labor intensive to make. Thats the reason of Everest price tags - not the vitroplast plate, but custom made rubber footpockets! And they are really made of rubber!

I reckon, that I could do slimmer footpocket, by using harder material (harder than rubber) on the outside, and softer inner side (similar softness as inside gluings in andronov), while using a personal mould (its not viable for rubber production). That wouldnt be so labour intensive. I already have an idea on how to make the right mold, but I'd need serius testing to get it right.

I'm lucky to have a person like you freedivenz, to discuss my ideas with. There arent lots of people out there, that really know what they are talking about, when it comes to fin technollogy. I'll definetly PM you for help in development, and send you my test fins for criticizing...
