Had a couple of mares avanti fins I found on the beach. I decided to try them out. The good news is that they fit great the bad news is they had to much resistance and gave me some strain compared to my tusa split fins. I decide to perform some surgery on these fins and create my back up split fins.
They actually worked remarkably well! I felt it cut through the water like my tusa fins and suffered no strains on my hip or upper leg area. I didn't have any thing to lose and the gamble really paid off. The operation was very easy , the fins already had a 1/4 inch rubber channel down the center. I just took a razor blade and snipped of that 1/4 channel right off. It sounds too easy but it worked for me.
Does any body else like their split fins, if you have some other old type of fins you don't like you might want to consider this option. If there is any body out there that thinks this is a bad idea don't be shy.
I just did this last week so far I have only gone out once, I thought I would go back to my tusa and see the difference.
