    Love my new fins!

    Just got my new Hollis Bat-wing fins. Tried them out in the pool this afternoon, and I love 'em. Great work guys!

    My 3rd, and last pair of fins I've owned, are the Hollis F1's. They are great fins. I like the foot pocket way better then some of the other tech fins. No foot cramps, well balanced, and good kick cycles with them. I couldn't ask for a better fin for my type of diving. Now, when I find a deal on a Hollis wing, I'll be a walking/diving billboard for Hollis lol (except for my Black Ice drysuit).

    It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.
    It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed,
    the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

    Just got mine about a week ago...3 dives so far and loving them! Lots of power, very precise and easier to kick than my Quattros were. Great fin.
    If you blame other people for your problems, the power for you to change is in their hands.

    Okay, I've got about 15 dives on the fins now, and still love them. I'm half convinced though that the dealer I bought them through charged me too much though. Paid 177.00 at a LDS, and I see them for 134.95 at authorized online retailers. Even if you removed the local tax we're still talking a base price of over 165.00. Now, this may in fact be retail, but I am curious what other (USD) prices others have paid. I'm actually pissed off enough that even though I love the fins I may not buy from a LDS out here again for bigger purchases.

    I got mine online for $134.00. There are only a few dive shops in my area that carry these fins. They all charge $134.00+ tax. no tax and free shipping from "Diverightinscuba.com"
