My Deep6 Eddys are very different

[GirlonFire]

I have had a pair of the white smalls (no holes) and I love them. Light, flexible, pretty capable in current.

Just last week I purchased another pair here on SB. They are also smalls but blue and have the holes.

Interestingly they seem like completely different fins.

As I said, the white ones have a good deal of flex. The blue ones are much stiffer. I worry they will dig into the top of my foot but I read that an exacto knife could help with that.

They weigh exactly the same: 3.72lbs and confirmed with Deep6, they are the same material.

I assume the blues will be better in current.

Hoping a Socorro trip is in my future, I would take the blues instead of my jet fins (since they are a bit heavier)

Has anyone else have Deep6 fins with a big difference in flex? I know the smalls were made of a different material from the larger sizes...

No, the softer small med fins in White and Orange and the small med Blue are made of the same material but in a different durometer is all. the small are the same material as all other sizes, just all the blue size run was made the same durometer as the large , XL which is stiffer by a bit. I did that because the blue was a special run for last years BF sale and I didn't want to order two batchs of material..Of course, to further confuse things, the production folks making them doubled the production order by mistake so I had them around MUCH longer than I expected

If the white are not digging into your foot, I would be very surprised indeed if the blue does.

Thanks for the explanation.
Should I assume they will be more effective in current?

I was sad I missed out on the blues when they were on the site but as luck would have it, scored a used pair in very good condition.
