makapuu vs slasher

Post by capesurf »

I realize fins have been discussed at length in the past with everyone having their favorites (Vipers, Kicks, Da Fin, etc.), but if you could give opinions between just these 2 Churchills, I'd appreciate it.

The Slashers a comfortable but VERY heavy. I prefer the Makapuus.

As a Duck Feet person, the Slashers have worked very well for me over the past 6-7 years since moving to 6'0"+ kneeboards where I use arm paddling as well as kicking. Prior to that, I wore Duck Feet since I pushed my KB in front of me and just kicked into waves. Duck Feet: L bare foot; XL with fin socks.

I am able to wear L Slashers barefoot as well as with a fin sock.

Have used Slashers for a few years and have been real happy with them. Thy are heavy but provide quick torque on takeoffs.
