Fin Strap Help
#1
After returning home from our tubing trip to Utah lake yesterday, I noticed one of the straps for my fins was no where to be found. [Sad] I don't know the brand or anything of the fins, but I was hoping someone on here would recognize them and/or steer me to somewhere that I could get a replacement.
I was so bummed, I went all the way back and retraced my steps to try and find them. In fact, I'm more upset about my lost strap than the FRS walkie-talkie that my 12 year old son dropped to the depths of Utah lake yesterday.

You can google fin straps, but it sure would help to know what brand they are.

They almost look like the creek company straps but won't know for sure without the pic of the fin. Here is a link for the straps from creek company.

[url "http://creekcompany.com/product.php?productid=16139&cat=251&page=1"]http://creekcompany.com/product.php?productid=16139&cat=251&page=1[/url]

They sell the buckles and straps separate hence why two different links.

I didn't even think to take a picture of the fins. Here they are:

Well I can tell you the brand. Browning. I have a set. Not sure where you can get straps though.

I found some universal straps on ebay, but I'm not so sure about them. Maybe I ought to bite the bullet and buy a new pair of fins. Any recommendations?

Creek company and classic accessories have some that are similar to the ones you have. You can get them at sportsman's warehouse.

[cool][#0000ff]First suggestion would be to try the source of the original fin purchase...Sportsmans or????[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Second would be to take the surviving strap and visit a couple of dive shops. They often have a good supply of various straps. Be sure to bring your fin along in case they need to substitute something else. You can make sure it works.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Lots of different workable fins on the market. The Brownings are popular. Ditto for the Creek Company. A lot of us spend a bit more on soft pocket diving fins like the Mares line. And plenty of tubers use and endorse the Force Fins...although they are among the most costly.[/#0000ff]
