how many pairs of fins do you own?

[MaxE]

2 pair of Eddy’s L, XL
Jet fins XXL
F1 LTE XL
Some garbage I was sold when signing up to certify
Full foot snorkel fins 20-25 years old
Fins that don’t fit me but used to try and inspire a future dive partner

 

[Eric Sedletzky]

1 pair XL jets
1 pair XL turtles
1 pair 46 Picasso freediving fins
1 pair XL scubapro full foot rubber snorkelling fins.
I’ve had many more fins throughout the years but give them away to people who need gear.
My philosophy is if I’m not using it and don’t have any future plans to, I gift it to someone who will.

But Bob, how many pairs do you currently own?

Think I have almost all fins that were made from 1940's Owen Churchill, Italian and Russian fins. Many customers from oversea brought me fins as gifts. My collection of OPS is large and this picture is just half of those models.

When you run out of other projects, you can start a flipper museum.

How about an online one? We can get @David Wilson to be the curator.

Now down to only 5 pair, only dive 2 sets now, Mares Excite Pro and my travel fins, Aqualung Storm.
The Storm for short fins are surprisingly very good , not lacking "grunt" when you need it.
