Glad to see this went to the 'non-serious, divers joking with each other' route! I was told when I was introduced to splits that they were the 'end all to be all'. I had been diving a pair of Quattros for years. I now own a pair of SP Splits.
From my personal experience...
Can't Frog kick with the splits effectively..
Can't quite get the helicopter down right with splits...
slow lazy diving with no stress...Gotta love those splits!!!
I can't swim worth a DAMN on the surface of a pool with my Quattros. Feels like bricks are tied to my feet. I'd rather not have any fins than use them on the surface...But they weren't meant for the surface. Underwater...Ain't nobody can outmanuever me underwater when I have my Quattros on. Dolphin, frog, helicopter, gyro, etc. etc.
Quattros are my fin of choice.
OK, KFC is out, Churche's rules, Bojangles gets an extremably honorable second mention. Krispy Kreme for Doughnuts, Dunkin's for Coffee, I heard Timmie's is good in Canada (Ask SeaJay).
And if you are ever in Texas...Eat at any steakhouse with the name Zentner in it. The one I ate at in San Angelo had a 'small' T-bone weighing in at 20 oz. I felt for the cows they had out back....but the beef...mmm. And of course, for low country boil...well, my place of course!
Take care,
Colin
