Figures I would find this site right beforegoing to work tonight!
Getting back into diving and have found out that there are no LDS that will me kick their fins. I have a pair of Mares Avanti Quattros that are great fins but not for my style of kicking.
Now I've called all the LDS in my area and have heard a different story at each about fins. Of course each store said they had the best fin and that no other fin was worth a pile of beans so now I'm more confused than I was when I first started.
I like to do small flutter style kicks from the knees rather than slow, long kicks from the hip. I went to a LDS yesterday and was told that the Scubapro Twin Jets are the best fins on the market for this style of kicking. Of course this was the same speech I received in 2001 when I bought my Quattros. I can't find a LDS that has Twin Jets to kick so now I'm on the hunt for a decent LDS that has a selection of fins to kick before I drop the $200 for fins. On that same note I thought $200 was WAY too much for a set of Twin Jets but then I've been out of the diving community for a few years now so anything is possible I guess.
Ok this is my first real post and I'm rambling already so thanks in advance for all the help!!
