Re: orca fins? other symmetrical fins

Hi I hope you got a chance to see the pictures I posted on page two These fins do not have a closed shoe, therefore on the back securing strap I can apply fin savers to make sure I don't loose them-- plain string ones will do a great job as well These fins do not float and actually sink pretty fast ...
