Waterway sale

Hi all,

I was just checking out the Waterway page and it seems like they're having a closing sale

Are they shutting down for good? Anways, just wanted to let you all know about the reduced prices (I am in no way affliated with Waterway).

Welcome to Waterway

Re: Waterway sale

Rob,

Which monofin did you order?

I just bought, and am waiting for, a new Waterway NEMO monofin that I purchased through PFI. Since PFI took over distribution of Waterway fins I wonder if just "Waterway Canada" is closing and that Waterway itself will stay open- and distribute through different channels?

Re: Waterway sale

Probably too late but has anyone figured out how to order a monofin at this website? Does it just not work with Safari or did I miss something?
Aloha

Re: Waterway sale

Bill,

I bought a LD #2 from them a few years ago and had to do all the ordering through emails- I couldn't get it to work dricetly like I can witht he PFI site. I had to order my monofins from Specialfins the same way.

Rob , did you get the #1 or the #2?

Jon

Re: Waterway sale

Rob,

That's a good monofin, just not the most comfortable. With practice you will get more used to it. Even though it's not as comfortable as a monofin with full foot pockets, I found it to be faster, and more efficent, in the water.

What size did you get? I had the #2 and heard that the #1 was better. I'd like to give it a try next time we dive.

Jon

Re: Waterway sale

FYI, I just got an e-mail from Peter from Waterway and he said its just the Toronto location closing and hence the sale.

Re: Waterway sale

I guess there is not a big enough of a market for monofins to run a company and live of the profit.

Waterway as a company will not dissapear and it is the biggest in the business and is not some garage company with fins made by some induvidual monofin coach in russia.

Most other smaller brands buy parts like the blade from others and just marely assembels and glues together the product.

Re: Waterway sale

So did Peter close this business in Canada ? So where does one buys Waterway mono fins at reasonable price nowadays without having to pay $50.00 for shipping to USA ?

Re: Waterway sale

It seems PFI is handling N. American distribution. I e-mailed Bogdan directly about ordering a mono recently and I was referred to Mandy-Rae at PFI (performancefreediving.com). To save on the $89 shipping fee, it helps to order more than one mono. According to Mandy-Rae, up to 3 monos can be shipped for $89.
