No problem. Forum works just like any other discussion. Certain rules are to be respected (please check the FAQ), but generally if you know how to behave at a discussion with a group that includes people of different ages, nationalities, races, religions, and other kinds, then you won't have any difficulties here either.

As for the Effesub Whalebone fins - if you tell you got your hands on them, then I do not quite understand why you did not try them yourself? We would love to hear about your experience. Nobody posted any personal review about them here yet (AFAIK), but last month there was a review in the French freediving magazine APNEA. I did not see the article, but will try to get the issue and post about it here. I only heard that the review was allegedly quite positive.

However, the question is how is it with their reliability and durability. I imagine that the whalebone and the glider may be a weak point and may break after a while. If the fins are not sussificently reliable, then even if it is otherwise excellent, it may be a big disatvantage. But maybe I am wrong and the reliability is no issue with it.
