Flipper Nipping: Short, shorter, shortest fins

[Bubblesong]

So, are your nippered flippers kippered or is it a go?

My short fins are going with me to St Croix in May! We got cheap JetBlue tickets so i will pack our four carry on bags, and my fins could be in my 20” bag. For this trip, i might as well pack them in a large gear bag since there are four of us and we need a gear bag. But for future trips, i hope to work out a carryon Scuba bag. I will start a new thread when i have it ready.

in Russia we have very famous training fins, used by sportsmens for many years - Dolphin

But I prefer to use very nice and comfortable fins Aquanavt (mine is soviet, produced over 20 years ago), now still manufactured by Kievguma on Ukraine

both is not plastic, but rubber ones

Today you can find any kinds of short plastic fins on the Alibaba
even very short and open heels

my son has Sporasub Variant disasembling long fins:

pictures in not mine (just from internet).
Unfortunatelly it`s EOL

Those rubber Dolphins and Kievguma's are interesting, no open toe.

I stay away from Alibaba as they try to download a lot of strange code when you sign up...
