Maybe your not the one to air out my frustrations to but I am asking everone I know to boycott JBL and ALL of their products !! I called JBL's main office and sent them an e-mail expressing my complaint. I have used there gear....guns, bands,points, and blades and fins for many many years and have spent hundreds of dollars on their gear. I bought a pair of Jbl long fin blades ( $225 ) from my lds and got about 10 dives in and they broke in half. JBL said they would not do anything about it !! And now they ( LDS ) wants me to demo the new JBL camo wetsuit !! I don't think so.

If you don't mind, let me get your important word to the right folks before you start your ban.
Much respect,

The JBL long blades are actually manufactured by Imersion in France, and from what I understand the quality of the thermoplastic they use has gone down in recent years. I have broken two pairs of them. It is a design flaw, but not JBL's design flaw.
Plastic blades are affordable for many people just starting out, and in all honesty that's JBL's target market. Their recent upgrades to their guns and the new suits are a step in the right direction towards a higher end, more discriminating clientele.
If you are serious about freediving, most people (that I know personally, at least) upgrade to fiberglass or carbon fiber blades anyways. Just forget the whole plastic thing - most plastic blades will eventually fail or at least grow weak, no matter who makes them.

Yes...they are imersions. I have only had problems with JBl's Blades. Since they didn't want to stand behind this product, I won't buy from them at all. If they are going to sell some other manufactures product...then I think they should stand behind it..at least for 90 days. I can't afford 300-400 $ fins. I thought 225.00 was steep. I am a scuba diver. I don't freedive.
