DR XT fin moan

[buddhasummer]

Anyone notice DR changed spring length on their medium fins? It's almost 4cm longer. Not helpful DR, I bought medium as my old pair was medium. Assumed they'd be the same both being same model and medium an all. Bigger is never my friend. Poo. Need thicker boots now.

Come on man, cut the springs and bend out new loops!

I actually tried that before. It wasn't so successful, or should I say I failed.

How about heat, buy shorter=pain, what length do you need I can look tomorrow

That's very kind of you sir. I will measure and post back. Appreciated.

A crazy idea, switch the old springs to the new fins? A better idea make some bungee straps.

Can you swap the old springs onto the new fins ?

forget springs

Both above, I thought "why don't I just swap springs?" about 30 mins ago. Not the quickest off the block.

Despite DR completely changing their strap system it would be great if the springs worked

I prefer the previous iteration before the swiveling

Magnificent!
