my fins brought me here!!! ( XS SCUBA )

[nour131]

XS SCUBA POWER FIN which was by all means a big mistake WHY????????????




HERE IS WHY!!!: i received those fins today by mail and they costed me a bit over 80 dollars plus 90 dollars shipping along

with a set of XS SCUBA spring straps which i ordered extra for 55 dollars and once i got them unboxed they ARE

ridiculously small they look like kids beach toys the foot pockets barely fits me and they have a really really poor finish

along with 2 small cracks at the corners of the vents with some bits and grooves on the rubber and i am sure it

happened due to the unprofessional trimming process by hand which is the main reason i insisted on something made in

the USA to insure the good quality ( and oh believe me i do know that all other companies trim the excess rubber by hand

but at least they don't damage the fins ) now i cant really send them back even if i could simply cuz it would cost way

much more than the fins value that's why i doubt i would be buying anything that is labeled XS SCUBA even though i like

the quality of the springs straps but i already have 2 sets so..




PS: i really wanted to add pictures but i am new to this forum, so if anyone would tell me how i would appreciate it

You're either into writing epic poetry or you have a serious formatting problem with whatever device you're typing on!

Anyhow, I didn't make it through your long verse but if it's helpful, I love my plain-jane avanti quattros, I have them in full foot and open heel.

You learned a valuable lesson: when you buy something on the Internet you need to factor in the seller's return policy and the cost of return shipping. Because it's often a wrong size/not as advertised/cheap chinese junk not worth 1/10th of the price and so on. It sucks that you paid that much for it, but whatchagonnado.

+1 on the xs scuba spring straps. I have a set. They come with several different strap attachments which came in handy when my primary fin broke (a case of used Internet gear) and my back up pair had a different type.

I won't buy anything online that requires fitting, been stung too many times particularly with fins.
