Those are great! Too bad they're the wrong size.

Scubapro Sea Wings are classics! My uncle still uses his pair - they were available in some crazy colours too.

Those are the original thermoplastic ScubaPro Seawings, vintage late 1980's (they were replaced by the black rubber and then the "Hyperthane" seawings by about 1990). I just found my original pair from 1987 last weekend, mine are about the same color as the ones in the photo, originally they were slightly darker blue. I also have a pair of black rubber seawings, and a pair of much stiffer Gorilla Seawings. (the advertising campaign was are you man enough to kick a Gorilla) They were great fins, but had some issues such as directional stability.

I can see why that might have been a problem, hehe.

I have a pair! So what are you saying?
Do they amuse you?
If you saw me wearing them would you think I was funny? Would I amuse you? What, like a clown?

Scubapro Seawings. Some swear by them. I don't. I wear them to be recognized. Easy drift dives NP. Supposed to be good for undiciplined bicycle kicks. Work for deep exits.

Yes, I believe they could have used more "rail".
