Stiffness of Jetfins Compared to Mares Avantis

[diveprof]

No, it is not just you. People hear how stiff Jets are and so without actually trying them they just repeat the misinformation until it becomes urban legend. Jets are not all that stiff as fins go, especially the Jet XL. I don't know how many times I have been herded onto a cattle boat with all of the fancy fin set and they go, eeewwwwwww, how do you kick those stiff fins. Spinach I guess. Fact is they just are not all that stiff. I suspect many confuse them with Rockets or Dacor Turbos which are like tying chunks of plywood to the feet.

Echo that. The Dacors are very stiff. I dive the Jet XL and Twin Jet XL now. Both are good fins tough the Jet XL is the best buy.
