To jet fin or not to jet fin?

[lexvil]

Jets are great, not necessarily the greatest, I’ve come to prefer the Zeagle Recon for a heavy rubber fin

Those Zeagles are great looking fins, but remember to lace up those boots and tie your laces before the next picture session.

Oceanic Accel is the lightest/stiffest/most compact fin that I have used in a 'tec' context, including back-kicking in a drysuit. 1.4kg for the pair. They won't win a race, but you can dolphin kick/monofin with them to cover distance in a bind.

Same power and kicking feel (weight aside) as a genuine SP Jet, same size and weight as the Accel:








I used to call my Accels my 60% Jets, now I call them my 60% Go-Sport (Gorillas), I do not mean size, I mean thrust. I still have them, size Large, mint condition, any takers ? Currently relegated to taking up space on my dive shelf and pool duty.

The Go-Sport bungee strap and open toe box just push it to the top for comfort. No scrunched toes and the strap on my Accels has popped free on a giant stride entry more than once. Not a problem for the Go-Sport.
