I love my split fins (Atomic Aquatics), and they are top quality. Cheap fins, split or not, are all terrible. Now to dispel some myths about split fins:
1. Split fins do not kick up more silt or sand than other fins.
2. People who talk down split Split fins tried weak or small or limp little fins. Next time go for a quality item.
3. Split fins will not lead to sterility in men or infertility in women.
4. Split fins do not make you look "funny" in the water or on the boat.
5. Split fins do not make your butt look big.
That should put an end to fuirther split fin conversation. I believe I have said it all.
