It all began with a passion like no other…
I decided to do something with that passion and combine my skills and knowledge with art. The idea is that if people see more of what the ocean has to offer, they will end up caring more about it, and our planet. Plain and simple.
The result is this little online store born from the name of a color that helped kickstart everything, and became the backbone of my social identity: Flamingo Pink.

What we're all about
Here's a little info detailing what your purchase contributes to with a purchase of a Flamingo Fins product:
It’s important to me that this company is as honest and transparent as possible. In an age of business-obscurity, I wanted to make it clear what the profits from sales are used for or go towards.
1 - a percentage of sales made from any artwork provided by an artist outside the company go to the artist.
2 - a portion goes towards future use of alternate or plant-based material options which are more eco-friendly in nature (something we are continuously striving towards aggressively, and have already made advances in!).
3 - a portion of profits go to business management, upkeep, and a wage for myself, just as you’d expect.
4 - when the business is sustainable, portion of profit will be put towards conservation projects and ideas on the horizon, which aren’t ready to be unveiled as of yet. But when they are, I will be transparent with those too!
Hopefully that provides a bit of insight into where your money is going with a purchase of a Flamingo Fins product.
Happy diving/snorkeling/spearfishing…whatever you do!
P.S. If there are any artists out there reading this, and you’d like to share your work on something I offer, feel free to get in touch! I’d love to hear from you!
