    Sorry for the newbie question... but waterski fin in PLA? Does that not degrade in saltwater? I thought that ABS was better for parts that would be exposed to the elements.

    Actually, those two were made of PET from Taulmann. I don't know how PLA reacts in seawater, but I think the heat would have been the worst problem. The skis are sometimes left to dry in the sun ... PLA would be less than ideal.
