I believe Boogie711's spring straps would mount on that fin.

Likewise the E-Z Spring strap.

Those fins have quick-release straps, which will limit your spring
strap options greatly. Be sure that what you get will work with
them.

Can't I take the quick release off and mount rite on the post?

The spring heels made for jet fins, which are by far the most
common type of spring heels, won't work -- they need a hole
to go though. Looks like the Boogie711s and E-Z Springs will,
as will the Mantas.

I have Apollo fins with similar QRs. I made my own spring heels
fins similar to the E-Z Springs. I've got a web page describing
what was necessary pretty much done -- I'll try to get it in a
public place tonight.

I have a pair of Mares Volo Power fins and drilled a hole through the posts and attached a spring fins (bought $5 cheaper on eBay). Best move I ever made.
