Ber's reviews are always entertaining!
You could always roll south and I’ll let you try my set!

I could do both and see if the color makes a difference in performance... :D

His black ones make it easier to sneak up on unsuspecting buddies, my orange or yellow ones are nice for staying "found". :D

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 :rofl3:

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.:rofl3::rofl3:

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 :D

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 :dork2: you can thank goldenbear :D

Now this has been a :rofl3: thread to read. I am glad I had my :popcorn: 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. :D
