Mike, how does the stiffness really compare, and how are the footpockets? I've been curious about the Professionals, but haven't had the chance to get my hands on a pair yet.
The feel is so much different that its hard to compare to the traditional fin. When I first started using them I thought they were to soft but I came to realize they just require less effort. Great fin in the kelp due to being shorter then the Riffe or Omer. Very comfortable foot pocket. If your ever down South swing by and take them out for a dive.

The 3000LD are the least stiff of their fins. The 3000HF was a stiffer version that sold mostly in Europe. The 2000HF is again stiffer than the 3000LD, as well as being a few centimeters shorter. The new Professionals, from what I'm told as I haven't dove them yet, are somewhere between the 3000LD and the 2000HF, and the footpocket is revamped, and is a little stiffer than all the other models.
I dive with both the Professionals and the new Professional LD's. I sold all my other plastic fins after using the pro's for a year.

I have been using Phil Herranen system UV epoxy, it cost around fifty bucks for a two
part quart. Finish has a wet look if desired can also be knocked down with a fine 3M pad for a satin look.
Cheers, Don PaulIs this different then the West Marine stuff. I need to recoat one of my guns. It has started chipping from nasty shore exits.

I heard they are fun to shoot with bow and arrow.

That sucks Dan. Is the hypalon material any more puncture resistant?

Welcome,
The California section is growing. -
These fish hook hones work well. Small enough to keep with you on a dive if needed.

Mike sorry for the side track trying to find the video for the flaty that line wrapped your bands ?
Thanks in advance. DonI'll see if I can find it. It was a situation where the shaft did not fully clear the muzzle and bands. Ironically, one of the halibut in this thread also tangled but I am so use to it happening I just instinctively release the gun and work the floatline. I have not had a wsb tangle yet this year.
