    Ripping current fin

    Hi guys need your opinions.

    I currently have 2 sets of fins, jets and hf2000's. I primarily dive an area that has 2-3knott currents and these are often cross reef currents. I had surgery on a broken leg last year and cannot push my long fins as I once could and my jets are great wreck fins but dont work in this current. What would you suggest for these current dives besides a scooter

    Jets will do better in current than any other...

    Jets will do better in current than any other fin. Nothing without a motor really works in currents of that speed.
    The Devil's in the details.
