I tried 'em too, and for more than one dive. They did feel funny. I liked that they are light, and a lot easier to put on and off than my ScubaPro XL Jet Fins, but because I'm used to the long kick of the Jet Fins, I wasn't happy. I didn't buy 'em either. Some people I've seen are very fast with them, but not me (6', 220lbs, slow and deliberate). What I'd really like, is my old Jet Fins, with the open boot and cinch strap configuration of the Force Fins. The new materials that the Force Fins are made from are nice and light also. Traditionalists and bored slammers will probably jump on me for suggesting that the Jet Fins be improved, but I think that there's room. -->Aaron ---------- From: David Norton (Excell Data) Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 1995 5:44 PM To: techdiver@terra.net; gregaqua@ma*.ke*.ne* Subject: RE: fin feedback I've used the Force Fins for one dive. They have a different feel with a short kick, not the longer, slower kick I'm used to. Straight ahead they seems to work very well. As I used them to swivel and stay vertical in the water, they gave me very little control. I worked far too hard to stay in non-standard positions. They also, seemed too loose, like I was going to lose them. You'd probably get use to that pretty quickly. When I tried them I was set to buy them, but after the try out I didn't get'm. ---------- From: gregaqua@ma*.ke*.ne*[SMTP:gregaqua@mail.key.net] Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 1995 12:14 PM To: techdiver@terra.net Subject: fin feedback Looking for feedback from anyone who has had diving experience with Bob Evan's Force Fins. Do they work? How well? Personal experiences in different conditions/dive configurations? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
