Re: Hollis F1 Yellow tips...

I wish I could say I was a vetran and it was war related and it didnt happen here and was over seas but that is not the case. The truth is at one time I was not such a nice guy and was known to bend a few rules and hurt a few peoples feelings periodically. One time things just didnt happen to go as ...

Re: Hollis F1 Yellow tips...

I have a pair of the Apollo bio fins as well... There is a few reasons I dont like em.

Oneil Wet Suit... Size Large 3mm
