Dont tell her i said that
In regards to buying online, i try to do it as much as i can but sometimes you need to be there to get the right fit..

Thx....

Just look at as an alternative approach to lowering mask volume.

Mongrel, how's the fin hunt going?

Re: Split Fins

if your swells up enough you may just half your mask volume, Mabe you could put a rolling pin in near reach when you mention those new 400.00 dollar cabrono mundo's from ITALY, you only need one eye to line up a fish right?

on second thought make it a wiffle ball bat!! you can thank me later!!LOL

Re: Split Fins

Mongrel, you may want to look into the OMER Runner fins. Before I upgraded I had a long chat with the OMER agent and he told me the only difference is the colour (and the price) of the fins. They have the same softness. Well, I didn't want to spend 65$ more just for camo sake so I went with them and they're great. They were about 250 NZ$ so I guess you may have looked in the wrong stores.... Check out some NZ shops, they might be able to help you out.

Re: Split Fins

On subprof.com the Ice Fins are currently US$176.96 plus US$65.87 for shipping to Oz, it sucks how these are $499 in shops here just like every other hugely overpriced piece of diving equipment! In regard to the Omer Millenium Runners they are meant to be stiffer than the Ice but same design though, plus they don't look anywhere near as cool as the Ice.


P.S I'm saving up for either a 100cm Mares Sten, or 110cm Cyrano and looking at installing a Mamba kit, do you think as the Sten has a 13mm inner cane diameter compared to the cyrano's 11mm it would be better for "mambatising"?
