Re: Fins
Well I ended getting some dafins and had them out for 15 minutes. had to go in and switch out to my repellors. I then cut them down and brought them out and had no improvement. Now I had a pair of fins stashed in Florida but I couldn't remember what they were. I'm pretty sure that I was supposed to get the same ones here in CA but I think I got side tracked with trying something different, I have no clue because we're talking 4 yrs ago. They ended up being hydro techs so I brought them back with me. They are very comfortable and a little stiffer than the repellors. Should have them out in some swell this week and see how they are getting around. don't have the new board yet gonna be a couple more weeks.

Re: Fins
Pes, my buddy that loaned and encouraged me to try out the DaFins during a surfing session together recommended giving the fins a chance to "modify my kick stroke" and to just "feel the flow." He was right... the first 5 to 10 minutes were a lot different than my Vipers kick but then the feel started to kick-in.

Re: Fins
Tried the Da Fins and the Force fins, Vipers and Duck Feet had heaps of power.
Making my own version with an Annular Wind Design.
I’ve found I’m getting the same thrust with less leg energy.
Maybe I should increase the length or diameter ?

Re: Fins
Are those drain hole eyes on the bottom? Need them on the top so the sand and pebbles drain out during paddling!
