Hi Brad,
I used the carbons for everything, spearing, fun freediving and deep diving. I guess the deepest I have dived with the carbons was 52m. I had a pair for 2 years and they broke whilst training in Hawaii. Had to borrow a friends Omer millenniums to do my 58m comp dive. I tried using Omer carbons but they were too soft.
I tried swapping the blades between my plastic blackteam's and the carbons, it didn't quite fit. The new ones might be different.
Hey Erik,
I could understand that with your size that most fins would seem too small and soft but if you call the Picasso Carbons soft, what the hell is a stiff blade ?!
I have not seen a stiffer carbon blade.
As for longer fins, the only one I know of is the C4 80's, and they are actually quite soft, softer then 40's, and softer then the Picasso's.
You might need custom made fins
Or maybe you should switch to a Mono, can get really stiff blades then.
Have you tried the Omer millenniums ?
They are pretty stiff and quite good for a plastic fin.
Cheers,
Wal
