Why don't you test your ICE fins under some of that ICE in Ontario? :)

Haha because I don't have a good wetsuit yet :)

That will come later on when I can get out and actually freedive.

I am not sure how much the actual blades are but I got my fins from Mark Laboccetta(Thats his name on DB as well). Hes a great guy to deal with :)
 
Those are the coolest fins I've seen! If they work as good as they look, I like them! :inlove

Yea I'm very excited! I get to try em out in less then 25 minutes! :)
 
naiad - compared with my spora hds they are soft - but very springy. Very nice to swim with with good power for intermediate depth diving - also very good manueverability. I much prefer them to both my Cressi Garas and my Sporasubs.
 
I like soft and springy fins. Stiff fins are too much effort for me. When I have borrowed fins, the best ones have been the softer ones. I will probably start with the Gara 3000LD.
 
I just got back from like 3 hours of swimming with them. I am very pleased :).

I even scuffed them up a little bit and got some black smug on my right fin :(. I managed to get it off thou rofl.

Thats the last time I use those fins in the pool thou, I think the concret and stuff like that scuffs them :(.
 
They inevitably get scuffed up - I end up standing on rocks and stuff with them - it does not effect their transparency in water so I quit being bothered by it :) Though at first I felt every scratch.

Ah thank you very much :), I have been really watching them because I didn't want to loose the transparency.
 
I have a pair and they smell nice like Vanilla also!

They are very soft and easy to swim with so they are great for smaller and lighter freedivers.

I gought mine from Italy and they were quite cheap i paied 90 euros to get them.
 
LOL - I was just going to mention the Vanilla. You only get the sound track if you have an Omer Cobra too - and you've got to have the wetsuit if you want the vocals.

The Ice fins have a very sort of symmetrical return when you kick with them. They generate good thrust but feel very easy. It's obvious some serious math went into the polymer and blade design/thickness/taper.

( I wish I was Canadian - so I could have a cool divers flag like that :) - by the way - the diver's flag was invented here in Michigan)
