If you have a size 14 foot, there is NO BLANKING WAY that  a jet fin
will fit your feet, therefore the jet fin is not an option.  As far as feel,
I wore the jet fins and they killed my feet and the idi are MUCH more
comfortable  (on my feet anyway).  As for the fin history,  Kieser (the
original owner of idi), used to be one of the original partners of SP and
designed the first jet fins; later started idi.  How do you feel that they
are inferior to the jet fin?  I'd suggest that SP take a few lessons from
idi especially in the sizing area.  best, bob

Yes, but the Turtle does not have the same feel and is an inferior fin if
compared to the jets.
