Darn it Sam, Scubaboard needs a special piece of software that automatically moves your posts to the History of Scuba Diving: Tales from the Abyss Forum. You are a wealth of information from one of the few divers still with us who was actually there. Thanks.
Funny sidebar: I tried Duck Feet fins several times but couldn't get them to fit... because I have feet like a duck. I even tried grinding the foot pockets out with a ball-end grinder for my size 8 EEEE foot. Now I have the name of the narrow-footed guy to blame! Ducks were the stock fin when I was in the Navy and I had to demonstrate to my instructors that fins that were large/wide enough wouldn't stay on my stubby foot. Say what you want about Jets, the adjustable strap was the solution for me. I haven't had to use Fixie-Palms since they came out.
It has gotten worse since I reached my 50s. Thankfully Internet search engines can find "6E shoes".
