Finally got around to it...

[Tim Ingmire]

I decided to do something a little constructive whilst I'm out of the water and make my bungee straps.  

I bought all the bloody stuff ages ago but owing to the fact that I bought 5mm bungee and 5mm tubing, it turned out a little difficult to make - so after a brainwave, I heated the tubing and was able to push the bungee through.
The result is below.  So when I finally get a chance to go diving again I'l be able to check em out.

Interesting idea.  Though, if you put the fin stud through the middle loop, the end loop wouldn't be under tension and easier to get your finger in to de-fin...

I just put a cable tie at each end (like the first picture). &nbsp;I haven't found a need to actually remove one end of the bungy. &nbsp;I just pull the bungy under my foot to take the fins off.

So much better than the old straps and only a quid or so to do.

I have the same fins and threaded the bungee through the plastic strap connectors and through some car fuel line (all they had available in the stop). They work a treat and are very comfortable &nbsp;

<font color='#000080'>Sorry guys, I still like my springs more. You just look like you were tight when it came to purchase time! And I can only outbuy people on things like finstraps, doesn't happen often!

<font color='#000080'>Spring finstraps. Great idea. Now where can I get some? Woz Straps

<font color='#000080'>BTW for all you bungee finners- careful with thos tiewraps- they age and become brittle and will need changing occasionally.

[Mary]

<font color='#F52887'>yes but I can still have 15 years of bungee before it's equal to shelling out for 1 year of Woz straps

much as I love you babe
