fin trade?

Post by Emilyrc »

I have a pair of large jet fins that dont go over my rock boots. Dont know why, I have tiny feet. Anyone want to trade for x-large jet fins or split fins?

I have a set of extra large split fins, the foot cavity is pretty large, cant imagine your foot would not fit.

L Jets are pretty much only good for wetsuit booties or Turbosoles.

SP TwinJets have larger foot pockets, but I wouldn't wish them on anybody.

Can I modify them? Or will that alter the integrity?

The foot cavity is pretty enormous on the XL twin jets

If you are interested in pink XL Jets or pink Apollo BioFins (splits), let me know. They are both too big for me now that I have changed the boots on my dry suit. I also have a pink mask and snorkel if you want coordinating gear.

If you are interested, we could get together and make sure the trades fit. I don't know if the Large Jets will accommodate my boots..

XL Jet fin pockets work well for size 4 rockboots.

If you leave them out in the sun long enough they'll turn into a more salmon-y color or even white!

I'm more of a purple person myself, but you can't see that under water. I got pink stuff so people could see me; my husband had already taken yellow and my sister took orange, and I didn't want to look twinsy (especially since my sister is my actual twin and husband-wife matchy-matchy is kinda barfy).

Another option is to put stickers all over them. Octopus fins? ;)

Large jets are smaller than my mares medium foot pocket. If someone has a good painting option (I heard krylon fusion, anyone use it?) I will trade if they fit. I cannot wear pink in the pnw. Or ever. :)

Guess we're both looking at finding a place to sell used gear...
