  • Welcome to the forum.


    Nemo fins were great in their time, almost 10 years ago. They are obsolete today precisely because they lack a toe angle. It may appear that they have an angle because the footpocket tendons push the blade down.

  • Welcome aboard! My foot's a 10-10.5 and I just got a pair of Speardiver carbon fiber fins yesterday. If you're the same size, you can try them out while I use your garas and help with ga$! :D Make it soon b4 I drive back to Tallahassee again, though!

  • Welcome mate, I use the Speardiver Carbon in med as well. Pockets are H.Dessault, bullet proof fin for me.


    Cheers, Don

  • Right on Don! Med firmness C90's are way flexible. I was using Omer Millenium blades and Sporasub blades (both plastic) and I can see swimming is gonna be way different. We have the same footpockets! I've got them in two different sizes, too. I got to watch Dan in person fit the blades to my footpockets (coolness), which was when YOU came up in discussion with how skilled YOU are with YOUR hands... ANIMAL! -which, since I've been in nuclear stupidia so long, led me to ask about the progress of Thumper the magic covert ops boat... not done yet... Anyway, I shouldn't derail this thread. I need to check out your Thumper thread now.


    Islamorada is awesome! The air is warm and lazy with warm ocean all around: paradise! The wife and I like the restaraunts there, too.
