Scubapro GO Sport Gorilla vs Seawing Nova Gorilla

[Unaware6905]

Does anyone have any experience comparing the SP GO Sport Gorilla fins vs the Seawing Nova Gorillas? I have the former and have the opportunity to exchange them for the latter at a great price.

This is going to be interesting. @lexvil

Keep what have until someone offers super nova.

Exactly

Could you expand a bit on that? Why would you go for the Supernovas, but not the regular Novas?

The older nova are not stabile for alternate kicks, they are good fins and I was an early adopter for the regular and the gorilla but a powerful frog kick will have the blades wobbling robbing you of some power.
The super nova is orders of magnitude better for all kicks, add to the fact that they come apart so the will pack easier than you GoSports and you have an all around better fin.

That makes a lot of sense. I do love the GO Sports, but will consider the Supernovas if I find a good deal. Thanks.

The supers are pretty close to a “perfect” fin, at the moment I’m trying to love the S Tek version

I still think the super are better all around but the good news is you can buy either for the foot pocket that fits and buy separate blades of the other style. They are pricy but when you look at the retail pricing on other fins, it’s worth it…

I have the Go Sport, go sport gorilla, supernova and the s Tek fins. I love them all and have a hard time diving with one not the other. I often dive with one on one foot and another on the other foot. It is like having four lovely wives and can't go out with one and leave the others at home. What a dilemma

Maybe I would prefer the four lovely wives

But if you can have both ?
