While on the last No Bubbles course in Wellington, Fran Rose was kind enough to let me have a try at a few dynamic's wearing a pair of her Gary Fisher Power Fins. At the time I hated them and they felt like they were going to tear my feet off at the ankles.

While on the course still unsure as to what fins I should be looking to buy I looked at what fins that Dave, Kerryn, Kathryn, Paul & Fran were using on the course while they were coaching us students.

Fran and Paul use the Gary Fishers, Katheryn was wearing a nice pair of C4 Carbon's, where as Kerryn and Dave were using plastic blades (Omer Millenium Ice, and Cressi 300D respectivly)

I thought to myself that If those two guys are happy with plastic blades seeing as they can both swim Dynamic's over 200 meter's then that's good enough for me.

I have just recently purchased a pair of Immersion Esclapez Greens and find that there is no comparison between these and the old Dacor scuba fins I was using previously. I'm quite happy with "cheap" plastic blades for now.

But who knows, maybe when these fins are getting stuffed I may look at the Fisher's again....... and so it goes on.
