Neutral, stiff fins recommendation

[Kylebee]

I am looking for a neutral tech fins as Jetfins gets too heavy for me. I tried RK3HD fins, but I hated them because I feel that they were really floppy. Deep6Eddy's foot pocket did not really fit me. I am stuck on choosing between OMS Slipstream vs. DR XT fins. But I am afraid that Slipstream is not stiff enough.

rk3hd really floppy ? Try concrete block instead.

There’s a video review of the RK3s flopping around by a sidemount diver on YouTube. Definitely floppy (and captured visually by the cameraman) once you start pushing twin tanks …

oh they work ok for i am using single, i don't find them floppy at all. I am wondering if people make the difference between the rk3 and the rk3 HD ? Does it say in your video ?

RK3HD feels completely floppy compared the an XT or F1.
Personally I love my F1s for drysuit and XT for wetsuit.

They are too heavy and I cant cut them into the fin shape.

The beauty of concrete is you can mold it into any shape you want. You can use alternate aggregates such as polystyrene pellets to control the density.

Stiffness is guaranteed. Comfort might be an issue.

Have you tried slipstream?

I dive doubles and want the stiffness of SP Jetfins but it is too negative for me.

I am pretty sure you would be fine with the Slipstream.

Aren't they positive?

The Gorilla is about neutral, really do not recall exactly at the moment. I do not find them to be floaty.

Where are you in Michigan? I have all of them that you mentioned in a few sizes.

Same foot pocket as the Jet, which I really dislike.
