Fin Storage

Besides keeping them inside out of the heat, is there any special way I should store my fins?

I store all my gear in a big bin (well, except for the wetsuit & BCD which is hung up) and I keep the fins on top so they don't get bent. If I had the room, I'd consider hanging them up as well.

Seriously, not really. Just put them somewhere where they won't get all bent. You perhaps don't have to, but I tend to remove my spring straps and store them separately. If I had room as well, I would prefer to hang my fins up. I don't know why, but it just makes sense to have them near my wetsuits/BCD/ reg.

As long as the foot pocket doesn't get crushed or otherwise compromised you're good. Mine came with foot pocket protectors and I use them. Otherwise as long as the dog doesn't use them for a chew toy they will be fine.

Fin keepers in the pocket, and also try and keep any black rubber materals from touching anything silicone.
Rocket fins will stain clear silicone items.
Mares sends fin tip protectors with thier Avanti Quattro's as well.
