Hello.

At the moment I´m using a pair of Gara 3000 LD. I´m very happy with them. The foot pockets fit me perfectly. And the fins are not too stiff. I´ve tested a pair of old Gara 2000 in Sharm el Sheikh last November. Way to stiff for me. And the footpockets didn´t fit as good as the ones of the 3000s.


So,.... why do I want another pair of fins, if the 3000 seem to be the right choice for me?

First; I have to get another pair, because there are some autographs on the pair I´ve got at the moment.

And on the other side; at the end of the day, when my legs start to bekome weaker, it´s hard to control the fins not to touch each other.


I watched a lot of the other freedivers in Sharm. There were using so much different types of fins.
But the finstroke of the guys with fins which have a certain angle between footpocket and blade looked always easier and not so sloppy.
And I like very much the idea of right and left sided footpockets like C4 offers.


So, after all I want a pair of fins for;

recreational freediving
down to 20-30 m (at the moment)
not so bad surface performance
not to stiff (Gara 3000 LD or softer)
changeable blades (good for storing in a bag)



Does anybody have tested the new Mares Razor Carbon by now?

And on the other hand; C4. I looked at the website; which of the fins would be the right choice for my type of use?



Thanks a lot.

And please excuse possible mistakes in my english.
