Greetings fellow salts. Just a quick question. Can spring straps go on Apollo Bio fins ? Has anyone modified their fins ? Please advise and thank you for your response in advance. Good viz, George

You can buy new Apollo's that come with spring straps, or just buy their retrofit kit that'll work on just about anyone's fins.
Pricey though.

So does that mean I could add spring straps to my force fins? who does sell the straps?

Wow, that was fast. Thanx Bob. I will have to look into the retrofit cause I have already purchased thr fins. I see by your Avatar that you have bounced around like me and have landed where I am trying to go, FLA ! ;-0 I'll get there, :mean: Good viz buddy, George

I bought a set from scubaroo here on the board before he relocated back to australia. He purchased most of the parts from mcmaster carr(sp?) If you want a pic let me know and ill post one here.

Yah, you could, but I don't really see a need to. Force Fins tend to stay snug on the foot w/o a strap even, and the straps they come with aren't prone to puking.
Once you get over the sticker shock for Apollo's straps (they're expensive as heck) you may decide to go the DIY route.
Check with whomever you got the fins from, they need to be an Apollo dealer to get the spring straps.
I only go to FL in end of July through August for the bugging. Weather's to iffy in the winter.

Boogie711, I like your action and price there. That is not much more than the cost of materials for people buying in quantities to make only one set of straps.
I still like mine with the low profile screw replacing the pin of the shackle.

I am going to do that to my personal set, and offer it as an option for people who want to do it with the straps they buy. My only concern with doing it for the E-Bay auction is that it might add to the 'work involved' factor.
