Recently a local bodyboard proprietor suggested Pod PF2 fins (about $AUD90). Well these are the most comfortable fins I've ever owned. Seem to give good thrust too. Maybe their generic size just suited me but the overall dynamic of these fins seems good.
I'm with duck tape on this one, I'd love to try out a pair of Octoblades if I could find em. BTW, could someone please explain, whats the difference between Octoblade and H2Octo fins, ( this question may have to be explained by one of our Aussie bretheren who will actually ADMIT to wearing fins ). Shelfbreak, hows the flex on those pod fin 2 fins, I think all we have out here now is the PF3 and its beautifully contoured , comfortable foot pocket but stiff as a board; never could bring myself to buy em. The PF2s I saw a year ago were same but much more flexable and of course got phased out for the PF3

Imagination is more important than knowledge.
For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand.
While imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.
What's the status with the Capt. ? Is he been subject to "banishment " , I thought I saw a post by him last week. I'm going to fire up the DVD player now and watch " Finding Nemo" in honor of the Captain.

They sent them to me in a couple of days, very fast.

I'm a convert
not too far from my beloved Churchills but so much lighter
I'll probably get a spare set and remove the Churchills (spare set) from the van
Not so sure about the "Hot Buttered Octoblades" but I will lineup to purchase those new Churchill's!!
Got a beautiful pair of old green/blue Churchill's from the yard sale next door ($.25).
