Stiff paddle fins

[Halthron]

I'm looking for some recommendations for open heel stiff paddle fins. I already have a set of Jets so please don't recommend them. So far, the closest thing I've liked has been a set of Cressi Rondines but I'd prefer something a bit stiffer and with either a post or pin style buckle attachment (for spring straps). Which ones made your legs ache when you first got them?

IF you are having problems with the POS foot pockets on the jets, then one solution might be to get thicker, harder boots that will provide your feet with more protection. Socks could also help. I use 6mm wetboots plus socks with mine. Of course you might also need bigger jets with this solution - unless you are using XL's already in which case you may be out of luck.

Stiffer... ok..

The only fins I can think of are the freediving fins like Open foot version of SPORASUB H.DESSAULT the advantage of this foot pocket is you should be able to use different blades too.

If I'm not mistaken the Aqualund blades were pretty stiff too.

I have a set of blades. They are definitely not as stiff as my turtles.

Get a pair of the remolded Voit UDT fins that popped up briefly. Your legs will be in screaming agony until they get used to them.

I'm not looking for something stiffer than the Jets, I'm looking for something like the Cressi but stiffer. I asked that Jets not be recommended because I already have some.

I use the Mares Avanti- I've heard them descibed "as if someone strapped a pair of wooden boards to my feet."

I believe the Frogs are a little stiffer than the Rondines.
Dive-Rite has some reasonably stiff paddles.

Mares Black Volo or Avanti's are pretty stiff...

The Black Volo or Tigers are supposed to be very stiff.
