OP
I could do both and see if the color makes a difference in performance...
His black ones make it easier to sneak up on unsuspecting buddies, my orange or yellow ones are nice for staying "found".
I really do like the orange, there's so many yellow fins in the quarry these days it's nice to stand out in a crowd....not that I don't stand out without them

You hardly need orange fins to stand out in a crowd!

after looking at the pics i was wondering why you haven't painted little bunny faces on the foot portion of the fins yet.
Ticketsales on the Rabbitflipfinshow will start shortly.
That is the best part about being staff with her......steve_dives and I never have to pay for tickets to the show and we always get a front row seat
Having been there for this, although I was never in the water watching her try to get them to flip down (but knowing our hero rabbit and her vivid account I dang near spit out my drink) but I was there to see how they worked. Although I was a little occupied tryin to teach myself how to dry dive without a class (she tells me on the first SI that they have a class, thanks Ber) things were well. The vis was crappy at best but the orange fins stood out real well, and by the second dive there were a lot of people on the dock just to see them. The seemed to work well, and even possibly allowed her to swim to the right and not always a slow left hand pull. Call it a fin alignment?

OMG! I TOTALLY SEE IT!
If only I were an artist...maybe there is a stencil somewhere....
If anyone sees me with a bunny face on the toes
you can thank goldenbear Ber :lilbunny:

Wow.....what a DB
Now this has been a thread to read. I am glad I had my 
handy. However in all seriousness, I do need to ask if others have had negative experiences with these fins similar to our FFFB (Famous Fuzzy Friend Ber - kind of like BFF's but different). I look at these fins and remember walking into the water in Bonaire carrying fins and camera equipment and then I remember holding onto the camera (it is clipped to my BC but I do not want my strobe/TTL connection to get banged or anything) while I put my fins on in even a mild surf....these fins really caught my attention. I could easily see myself with a second set of fins (used primarily for travel).
Does anybody have any amout of time logged with them? I am curious if the locking mechanism slips at all or wears. If all in all it comes highly recommended then I will talk to the distributor in my area (I believe he works out of a van - just kidding but my area does not have a store that caries them) to see if they have something I can see and/or try out.
Feedback is appreciated.
BTW Ber....that hood is GREAT.
