You know how some of you women (or your wives) have a million shoes? I don't particularlly like shoes, but fins....wow. I never would have thought. I had the same pair of short SNORKEL full foot fins for 14 years untill about a month ago. Now, I have 6 pair of good fins. What a difference! Someone tell me that I need to stop buying fins or give me a reason to keep buying. (I really don't have the money, so tell me to quit!):wink:
 
Hey well scubajoh44, i'm not a woman lol :D.
But I do love fins!
Seriously if I could afford to, i'd have multiple sets of fins..

Splits in various colors, paddles of different designs and colors and i'd co-ordinate them all with the rest of my dive gear.
I have 2 sets of fins already an Aeris Velocity fullfoot fins and my genesis response fins which I've had for maybe 10 months now.

I'm already wishing that I could add another fin.
Hmmm, maybe a split would be nice :):)

I have both of your fins! ;0) Yeah, get some splits.
 
Just like NetFlix, start a company that lets subscribers borrow fins for a flat monthly fee! Now all those extra fins won't sit in the back of your closet -- they will be out there making you money. :D

I used to buy and try fins...but since buying my Force Fin Pros, I think I've used my others probably once. Try a pair and it might allow you to stop buying more and more.

The reason is that you don't have SB Jets........

On a dive trip , I managed to drop a tank on my right foot, and found that I cound not
dive with my closed toed fins , because it hurt to much. However, I happen to have a
pair of open toed Force Fins along, and could dive with no discomfort. They take a differant kicking style, which is easy learn and I like them alot.

Some might agree and some might not.

But that's the statement certainly applies to me..............at least for now. Have had 4 pairs of fins (before starting to get rid of some) but simply prefered to go with the Jets whenever possible. If I will be going out to get a new pair of fins, I will definitely go with the Jets again...............(not sure if it is even necessary by the time I am too old and weak to use it).:D
 
How many different fins have been in constant production since the 60s?

One.

Done.
 
Hey Jo,

I'm with ya brother I have about 6 pairs in my garage, I usually trade up about every other year. My favorite pair is a pair of US Diver Rocket Fins I've had for about 12 years....awsome.

But....hey stop buying until you recieve an increase from above.

Peace
