Re: What Fins Do You Use & Why?
I have a pair myself and they are nice but I decided I wanted to try something else and see how it went. I have been trying to frog kick in them and while it works to a extent I dont feel like I get maximum results.

Re: How do you pack your gear for vacation?
I think the best way is to just ship it UPS or Fedex ahead of you so you dont have to travel with it.
