FINS: OMER Stingray VS. Mares Razor, OTHER!?

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 60 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
You're right purchased but never used, should of called before I ordered. I never knew there would be that much variance in sizing.
 
I have a brand new pair of H. Dessault 44-46 if anyone is interested.
 
After thinking about the issue for a while I contacted Dan at Pursuit directly and asked his opinion of f/ps. His idea was that my 44-46 Dessault f/ps were to big, despite being the same size as my Omers, Picassos and Spettons (which are all the right size). By going down a size to 42-44 I should get a much better result without the fin keepers I need for the 44-46.
I went ahead and ordered them over the weekend. I got them Thursday, and immediately installed my SpecialFins medium fiberglass blades. I tried them out in the pool last night. It is really an awesome combination. Lots of power, smooth flex, and no flat spot transitioning from soft kick to hard. In other words they work!
Now I just need to wait till I arrive on Kauai Friday to really put them to the test ; )

So, my vote goes for Dessasults

hteas,

I made the same mistake and ordered them in a 44-46 and they are too big and I need a 42-44 also. Good luck and safe diving!

P.S. I also bought the Pathos from and Dan and they are very nice too.
 

Have a great trip to the island Ted, dive safe, have fun, and thaw out.:friday

Cheers, Don
 
Well, I believe I had a word for Omer Stingrays some time ago, but.... yeah, unfortunate BUT: I have broken 2 pairs of fins in a last week. I bought a pair back in July and they served pretty good since. But a month ago my left fin just snapped in 2. No problem, got it changed. And today the new one snapped as well. Same left foot. Hypothesis: If u do have pretty strong legs then think twice about Stingrays.
 
It is the blade that snapped. Footpockets are all good. Its strange that the breakdown pattern is almost the same as on a previous blade. Same pattern, same position =] Same stupid feelings
 
I just finished 2 weeks in Hawaii using my new Dessault f/ps. They worked perfectly. I simply didn't need to think about them or the fiberglass blades I'm using.
Happily, I'm done buying fins! (well, for a while at least)
 
Good for you. Its a perfect feeling when U just dont think about your equipment.
