New Cressi Gara Professional FreeDive Fins

[mpalozzola]

Are these fins actually in the publics hands yet? Has anyone used these fins yet? I'm looking to buy a pair of free dive, closed foot fins and fell in love with the looks of this fin but i wanna know how it performs. Any trials yet?

I've heard that they are really really stiff. beginners should stay away. I don't think they are out yet, but they are expected to be very very soon...

I heard something about a release(or demo) and recall due to them being really stiff..but that was the last I heard about em. I'm really hoping to get my hands on em before the water gets above 85 degrees here, so when i go to no wet suit I also can go to no booties. Should be another month or so before it gets that warm tho...

i'm an amature free diver, always dived down whilst snorkeling, but recently got my weighting perfect and have been doing 6-7m free dives in Newcastle, practicing my surface dive, finning and breathing techniques. I was looking at these fins but want free diving fins that I can use in UK and abroad, are there any suitable open foot fins that can be used with boots? or do most people just have separate pairs for hot and cold?
What is the latest on the cress Gara? are they too rigid for amatures? can anyone recamend a good starter free diving fin?

for the same price point and proven performance take a look at the Picasso Team Black, great fin. ~$160 per pair

I would get these many times over the cressi gara's.
