Hi Guys,
I thought I'd give everyone my experience of these fins that i bought recently.
They are quite expensive but in general I think worth the money. These fins are a composite of carbon/resin material and are said to be tough and strong and good for general spearfishing.
I have just returned from South Africa and where I used them for the first time diving from the shore through, on this occasion fairly heavy surf ( for the guys in SA- Cape Vidal followed by Salt Rock) .Unfortunately did not shoot much fish!!!
COMMENTS: 1. Footpocket: Omer, this came with the fin, comfortable , no problem, Iam size 7 and took a 3mm, 5mm + 7mm ,(at a push) neoprene sock.
2.stiffness: Hard ;tired ankles only on first dive after that no problem
3. Ruggedness. The fins coped well with the surf including several large waves dumping on me. Furthermore, they tolerated exits from the beach with surf surges bending the fin backward on itself. several surface scratches were sustained from rocks but nothing serios given the conditions. (see picture)
4. Deep diving. depth reached on this occasion was 15m but seemed OK. Would be good at deeper depths due to hardness.
All in all a good tough fin as delivered by Special fins.
PS Comes with a nice camo bag!!
