THE GREAT DRYSUIT FIN THREAD - attached boots

[kavka]

Drysuit: AQUA3 Tiburon
Boot style : Rock boots Vibram
Fins : Omer
Size :XXL
Looking for springs

[edit 7-30-03]:
OK now I have DIY spring straps on my Omer fins and I also cut fins (about 10 cm) off. They are a bit shorter now then turtles.

I wear a viking HD size 3W (wide)
This is the same size as a 4, but with height of a 3
(For the record I'm 6 ft tall, 250 lbs)

The boots are about a size 13 (North Am)
They fit me fine, I'm a size 10, and I wear felt snowmobile boot liners in them. Toasty

I wear Mares XL fins, or (back up) Turtle fins (both with 11" spring straps)

The Turtle fins fit great, but they are really wimpy. I much prefer to dive my XL Plana Avanti Quattros. I just made 11" spring straps for them as well.

Fin size: XL - though they seem a little small for the boot. getting them off at the end of the dive is a major pain.

Spring strap: homemade

Spring strap size: 11" springs
