I've seen ads for these fins, but have never really thought about them. In an article in Rodale's, comparing and rating fins, they got a good review. Rodale's said of them, "What a pleasant surprise. Outstanding course efficiency, excellent maximum sustained speed. And such a a price! [between $80 and $90]. No downside to this fin."
I'm looking to buy some new fins and have considered splits, but I'm not sure that's what I want (due to various reasons like turning ability, kicking up silt near the bottom, price, etc.). The velocity are supposed to kind of give you the best of both worlds with the reduced leg fatigue and increased velocity of a split and the stiffness and control of a paddle type fin. I'm now considering purchasing these fins.
Does anybody out there own these fins? Has anybody used these fins? If so, how do you like them? How well do they hold up over time? How do you like the design of the strap and bucke?
You know...give me the skinny on these fins!!..
