You will absolutely HATE them. Don't waste your $35.
By the way, if they are a size L or XL in good condition, could you please ask your friend to send them to me? Thanks.

ravie have you ever tried force fins ? and if you did, did you ever give them a chance or try to adapt to them?
force fins are a fin that requires a different type of kick, and coordination to make them work. if you do a standard flutter kick you wont make the most of them, you have to you a modified frog kick to get them to work the most effieciently.
at the recent DUI demo i tried a pair of extra force with wiskers (pointed straight out, not turned in) and when leading in my buddy group during a navagation run i just took off and about after a couple of minutes i did a roll to look for them and had to wait over a minute till they caught up with me (and i was just doing my standard kick, and i did not once stir the bottom and i was about less then a foot off the heavily silted bottom)
FWIW

Scubatooth,
I am the force fin cheerleader. I love my pro force fins. They solved my leg cramp problem. They are comfy, and powerful and easy to pack. They also make me really easy to spot in the water.
The only thing wrong with them is the fact that they are too small to fit the boots I use with my drysuit. That's why I asked Poseidin to have his friend send the unwanted pair to me. I need a second, larger pair.
Was DUI doing demos of force fins along with their own products? I would love to have an opportunity to try different types of force fins.
By the way, I agree with you about the modified frog kick. It's what I use if I find myself fighting a current.
