AtlantaSurfer,
Thank you for confirmation that it is not just my knees. My rugby injuries were 35 years ago - if that is an indication. That said what fin did you find worked for you?

Looking for any/all recommendations for a "EE" width foot.

I have felt the knee twist from asymmetrical fins, they dont seem to have the same power as symmetrical either, asymmetrical are no better for hold i have been surfig with bodyboarders for years and never heard anyone mention hold differences.

I find mos people prefer simply the fins they own as thats what there used to, they all do the job.I would pick foot comfort and no knee problems before thinking about thrush and hold.
over 20 years and over 10 different fins pairs, my fave are the new viper MS orange dot symmetricals
