Force Fins

Good news for someone... I have a new pair of neon yellow M/L Force Fins for sale. I recently purchased them from a seller on eBay. The seller misrepresented the size, and the sale is final, so returning them is not an option. No worries

If you are looking for the ultimate in comfortable, powerful fins... this is it.
PM me if interested. Thanks!

Still have those fins? Ever use split blade dive fins for comparison? Maybe too long for KB but how about power/speed comparison?

Hi There Dr. Strange
The fins have gone to a new home

/

Split fins? I've never tried a pair. I've heard good things about the split fin Slasher (US Diver). I've seen them being used by some pretty good bodyboarders. I did get a pair of new Neo Fin "surf fins", and although they are super comfortable, they do not have the power capability that I was looking for. The next plan of attack was Vipers. I got a pair of the V5-Flex and love them. Finding fins that feel good, work well, and last for a while is worth it... but the journey sure can get expensive

Figure I have just one pair of feet to last a lifetime... best to be good to them

The Shedder fins from US Divers look interesting - reasonably priced. I must admit to being really happy with the Force Fins - even at the cost, but I am intending to investigate a pair of Shredders over the coming weeks, cheers Damien

I'll bet the Shredders will not hold a candle to the Force Fins

If you are looking for the ultimate in comfortable, powerful fins... this is it.

So since they are sold--I know this is a tired old topic but I've been reading around and seems there's a pretty big divide in opinions (like a**holes everyone's got one) on flippers. Paddles (UDT's) vs splits (Apollo Bio-fin I've heard GG has or had several pair) vs propellers (Force Fins). Proponents of each say their kind is best/fastest/most powerful.

I would think that in something as "simple" as kicking along effort vs speed that (unlike w/ KB 3 vs 4 vs 5 fins), not everyone can be right.

Anyone here really tested various styles and have a strong a**... oops I mean opinion?

Hello Dr Strange

IMHO Its personel preference over which is the best overall. If a person doesnt have the energy to use a large area fin. They may feel that fin doesnt work for them. Or it effects the way their equipment works, fins hanging off rail. Due to my splayed feet I like fins that have a wide foot pocket. Yet Ive heard someone say that redleys have narrow foot pocket maybe they have EEEEE size feet I didnt think of that.
While diving with friends they used long bladed dive type fins I used my redleys. They would fatigue and go in after hitting some currents I wouldnt have a problem and continue. But they can out run me on dry land. Would that mean I just have a better or more efficient kick with those little fins. In larger waves I use a more powerful fin stiffer blade or larger blade which ever works for me at that time. I had stiff black redleys
sold them to a friend that needed them more than I at the time. Now I'm trying to get udeets from Dr. Deets.
Remember that saying different strokes for different folks.
