SP jet fins, old vs new????

[Wildcard]

I have a chance to buy some SP jet fins that are pre 80s mane from pure rubber unlike the new ones. Anyone use both? Which is better? Thanks

Never mind, I bought new.

First a BP, now Jet fins? ... the dark side is calling eh?

I have a pair of the old ones, purchased in 1970, and a pair of the new ones, purchased in 1999. The old ones might be a little (very little) softer but it's almost impossible to distinguish a difference between them. Except for the lightening bolt.

Talking to the Okinawans here that has the Jet fin Revo's, they said it's pretty good. I personally haven't tried them myself but listening to these guys, I might have to break down a get a pair.

I never saw anyone wearing them in Okinawa , but they looked like at nice design when i checked them out at sea and surf .

Can these be found in the US? Similar to Jet Fins...foot pockets, swimming characteristics,etc.?
