Last year while working with a SP dealer I choose Novas vs the other types available. After using various styles and types, to include Force Fins, I was having mixed expectations.
This was a pair of black xl's and after the first dive, I just loved them. These are and still are the older style. They have not broken yet.

After leaving that dealer and still teaching and diving, I stuck with the Novas and was able to pickup a white pair to help students pick me out of a crowd of divers. These worked fine til they broke, but were quickly replaced by SP. And, They still work well.

Today, I picked up a pair of the new Blue Novas and a pair of the Blk Gorilla Nova's.

The GO-rillas are suppost to be somewhat stiffer than the other Novas, from first glance, it's difficult to see... But we'll see !

All four pair costs less than one pair of ForceFins and the bungles are worth their weight in gold. That, FF did do, very very well.

Reports later ......
