Fin Collection 10-2012

This is the John Ratliff fin collection from October of 2012. As you can see, I have been looking at fin designs for quite some time. Some of these are my own "scoop fin" design too. I also have an Aqueon, which is an underwater swimming design that I have had since 1972, and have modified into a different type of underwater swimming I call the Sea Turtle/Dolphin technique of underwater swimming. But that's a different discussion. The black fill-foot fin in the bottom center of the inner circle is a black AMF Voit Viking A66 fin. It is surrounded by other, more recent designs. In the left part of the inner circle are four pairs of Duck Feet fins (the original Swimaster Duck Feet). Two pairs are full-foot, and the other two are open heel, "UDT" models.
