The latest & greatest? Shinfins

[Snowbear]

I wonder if you can back up in these?

Not fins......oh no..... leg "flippers".........

The reversing model will be in the next DEMA show as ShinFins 1.1

Probably a down-on-the-farm put-up job by Bob Evans... to take the heat off his model.

I bet they twist around on the calf of the leg and render themselves useless . . .

The site (as far as I can tell) doesn't actually endorse them for scuba, but you can apparently snorkel with them. The benefits they list are kinda funny, though, like "don't kick up silt/sand" and "don't kick marine animals." Are those benefits or instructions?

I'm not so sure you have to do anything to render them useless......

Or maybe that's reverse gear

I own a pair of ShinFins... I've had them for about three months... they are actually a great training aid for swimming... I haven't tried them out diving or snorkling but they work really good for giving you some extra kick power and streamlining while swimming freestyle in the pool. You can walk around with them very easily but they will rotate around on your legs, especially if you have a sorry flip turn like mine. Worth trying out if you've got the extra cash lying around...as they are a bit pricy!:11doh:

Well, that's one fin I don't think i'll try making spring straps for.
