Which fins?

[spearmantw]

Hi there,
Have been using Waterway powerfins Nr2 for a while and found Nr2 is a bit soft for me now. I usually spearfish at around 10~15 meters and am trying to go deeper.
I am thinking of upgrading to carbon fins and wondering which fins I should go for.
1. Picasso carbono 21 fins
2. Picasso Rapida fins
3. Picasso carbonprene fins
4. Omer Millenium Rekord carbon
5. C4 30
Any comments or suggestion will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I use picasso black teams, diving between 6 and 15m and must say Ive never been sorry I got them.
The Picasso foot pocket is said to be one of the strongest and best on the market and will last for ages. It is a little hard but still worth it and Ive never had problems with them.
Its not one of their carbon models but still picasso and Im happy, as are the other people I know who use them

Hi Deep thinker,
Thanks for the info.
Actually i am a fan of Picasso though their products are not avaliable and I only have picasso's 6.5 shaft which is pretty good.
I am trying to get more picasso products but the price and shipping cost to local is very high...
Anyway, thank again.

Have to second the Picasso recommendation - For anyone with a wide forefoot and narrow heel, they are probably the most comfortable pockets around and you can get a range of blade types for them so the flexibility is there if you don't like whatever you get to begin with...

I started with Esclapez Greens, but moved over to the Picassos (Black Teams) for the fit and rigidity of the pocket.

If you want fibre blades, then I've heard very good things about the matrix blades teamed with Picasso pockets.

This is a good thread for you, if price is not an issue the Rekord has a very good reputation. I could never get good input on the picasso blades.
