I am contrarian

We still love you even when you are wrong.

Another good option is TUSA triforce version of the hiflex , first packing supernova and or the TUSA can be even easier by taking them apart, TUSA are a bit shorter than the SP there are good advantages with either over other types of fins

Wouldn't the S-Tek blades be a more apples-apples comparison for the Tri-Force? (and Super-Nova to HiFlex-Pro)

I don’t feel so, they look closer but the more pronounced blad angle of the S tek changes the performance feel.

For someone like me who uses flutter kicks majority of the time and frog kicks occasionally, would it be better to go with the supernova over the s-tek? I am using GoSport Gorillas right now, and from what I have read, it's my understanding that the foot pockets are the same size, is that correct?

Supernovas are very strong and fast with flutter kick.
The pocket is completely different in my view bw. GoSport and Supernova. GoSport are open in the front. Supernova are closed. The fit will depend on the dive shoes.
Supernova and S-Tek use the same MFS pockets.

I never understood the whole idea behind the S-Tek. fin... small and stiff blade with the big footpocket. They should have made the small size pockets fit the bigger blade and called it a day making it really "one size fits all" solution instead of doubling the SKUs, production costs and inventory overhead.

Thanks - I will likely go with the supernova. Few of members on one of the threads here indicated that the foot pocket sizes are the same for the Gorillas and Supernova/S-Tek, so I was hoping for confirmation on that. Where I am in right now, I don't think there are any dive shops where I can go check out the supernovas.
