Cool. If they work and the bands can be replaced then they might be on to something. Would like to see some tests and hear from some real users. They do look pretty cool though.

Looks like a gimmick to me. I can't see how it would actually work. Well, I can see HOW, but I dont think it would.

I don't know... most paddle style fins work on the basis that they flex some (or alot) in order to push water backwards... my Dacor DXD fins use the same type of flex to work well... however, whereas mine flex and use the flexibility of the plastic and rubber, these are a little more mechanical, and adjustable...

They look to much like a gimmick to me. I will take a good pair of split fins anyday. But I have access to them at a local dive shop and will try them out in the pool this next week.

I smell gimmick, but, if they could guarantee they'd make me as happy after a dive as the people in the demo I'd give them a try! Although it cold have been the drinks not the fins in the one picture...
