splits v.paddles

[jacewindu]

always been a fan of paddles, but i don't really mind either...
however, i am more of a fan of full foot than bootie fins

That's for the link! I've been wondering what peoples opinions were on differences of splits, you pretty much made up my mind on my next purchase.

I love my paddles as well but have my eye on a pair of full foot Apollo Bios.

I've had four surgeries on my right knee, I find splits put much less strain on the knee than my old paddles.

Read this if you want to be better informed about fins.

Paddle fins all the way!!!!

I started with a set of Tusa Xpert split fins, but someone let me try a pair of scubapro jet's and I bought a set the next day and haven't put my split fins back on. Actually, one of my friends has them so he can buy them from me. The paddle fins are just so much stronger and move more water. Add that to the fact that if you're good, you can fin backwards (and no, I'm not that good). But it's possible.

Absolutely love my paddle fins... have Quattro Excel and they are perfect for me.

I like my paddle fins, but to be honest there's a big difference in brands. My Akona fins don't work my legs as much as the Jets do, but the Jets after you get used to them seem to propel me much faster than the Akona's could dream of doing.
