I just got back from playing around in the pool.
I was comparing my Black Team's to my C4's- just to make sure that they were worth all of the extra money they cost me.
I felt a huge difference between the two while swimming laps underwater and on the surface. The C4's had a lot more snap to them.
I haven't had a chance to try the C4's to any great depths because it's 2 degrees (F) outside and we have a nice brisk wind blowing over our 2' of ice.
Hopefully it will get a bit warmer next weekend so we can cut a hole and jump in.
I have tried out Ted's Gara HD's and my Black Teams are noticeably stiffer.
I have owned a pair of Esclapez blakc blades and think that the Black teams are stiffer than they are.
Compared to a crabon fin, like the C4, the Black Team's feel like boards on my feet. They don't seem to have any spring in them.
The C4's, on the other hand, feel like they have a much more snap to them at the end of each kick.
Erik,
I have a poll question for you.
What's the best beer in Indonesia?
