I'd like to do a gear order very soon. I want to get my bro-in-law a decent gun for Xmas, plus some spare stuff for me. Anyone?
Erik

Hey Jim, could you tell me in short what is the difference between the VTR and the Flap/Falcon? is it fiberglass or carbon?

VTR blades are fiberglass with a little bit of carbon used in them. These are the same shape blade as the Falcon.
The Falcon is a carbon fiber blade with a concave shaped end. The Flap is a carbon fiber blade with (just like it's name suggests) a convex flap shaped end. I snapped a pic of my Flap 80, Falcon 30, VTR fins to illustrate the differences for you. **Keep in mind that Flap blades are the same length as Falcon blades, however the 80 series blades which are shown on the right, are about 10-12cm longer than the regular 25, 30, and 40 series blades.

Not to spoil this thread, and apologies in advance to all. But...this is a confession: personally I'm on day 8
The last 10 days of a great gear collection day 1-day off from work: it would be a big offence to the family going spearfishing on a day you can stay with them. day 2-It's working day: big offence to the family going on the few hours you can stay with them. day 3-baby is sick: big offence... day 4-baby is no more sick: big offence going now that you can play with her day 5-sunny day: big offence... day 6-stormy day: you are the only breadwinner for the family: don't put yourself in danger for a fish! day 7-early morning: once you wake up early (you rarely do) stay with the family. day 8-late morning: they let you sleeping till late, now stay with the family! day 9-Sell off all your spearfishing gear. day 10-???

Spaghetti,
The list of items I am keeping far exceeds the list of items I am selling. I plan to dive with you in Italy someday, so don't go selling off all of your gear either!!! Jim

I just received a purchase from the "jimdoe2you" store. Item was shipped immediately and arrived in brand new state as described. Thanks Jim
I already know Jim is a good guy, because I had a chance to hang out and dive with him for a few days, but for anyone else who is considering some of his new gear for sale, do not hesitate. Easy and painless transaction via paypal. lee

The Nemo Powerblades are a great fin at a good price as you can order them in from Toronto and we get a discount. Just mention my name and the discount to get it.
