[cool][#0000ff]There's no doubt they will work. Will they work better for YOU than another model? That is up to you to determine.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Choosing fins is literally a matter of "different strokes for different folks". There is a lot of difference in lengths, composition, flexibility, width, etc. The bottom line is that the fins you use should be just the right balance of flexibility and stiffness. Too much stiffness and you propel well but kill your legs. Too wimpy and you can beat the water to a froth without going anywhere...but you feel good.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]We all have different body sizes and types and we all have different levels of physical ability. It really does pay to try before you buy.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Some of the foo foo designs created by the diving industry are seemingly like the lure designs created for fishing...more to catch the buyer than to produce something worth the extra montey. And, you have to realize that the kicking done underwater is somewhat different than that done by tubers and tooners. We need fins for shorter and more efficient strokes...from the knees down. Divers use full leg extension kicks and sometimes use fin blades that are quite long...too long for tubers.[/#0000ff]
