Question Force Fins Tan Delta

Hi... I was just fishing really, but does anyone have a pair of Tan Delta Force fins?

tandelta_product

I really love my ForceFin Pro's and was thinking of trying a pair of these. Does anyone know who stocks these and how much they are?

And are they better than the normal stuff...can you feel and increase rebound?

Thanks Andrew

They were no good for this when I had a pair, my gas consumption went up a bit also and I soon gave up on them. Some people I know love them though, especially the ones with the little whisker things on them.

Click on twinsetmad's link and you get a pic of my fins!!!!

yes, i have them, I think they are great. There is a lot of maneouverability in them. The only thing I have found is that they are not great if you are swimming against a current.

I have had them nearly 3 years now and I wouldn't be parted from them.

They are superb for frog kick....I think they are better with frog than up and down. I really clicked with mine and think they are great. I find it so much more relaxing and comfortable. I was really suprised with the thrust from such a small fin.

Red face

I would love to get some of the Excellerating force fins but am unsure of the size I would need. I think that I fall right in the middle of two possible sizes; XL and XXL.

I wear size 10 or size 11 shoes depending upon the cut of the shoe / trainer !
I wear size 11 O3 drysuit boots but size 10 beaver wetsuit boots.

Wouldn't want to buy 2 pairs at £200 a pop !

Anyone got any reccomendations about which size force-fin would suit me best ? Anyone in the same situation who has worked out what to do ?

Cheers for any help, the Tan ones look pretty useful too !

I have inserts (the comfort instep) for mine, as my dry suit boots are bigger than my wet suit boots. They are just a sort of flexible foam which velcros into place.

Size 6 (I think) dry suit, I wear XL force fins, but I seem to remember that the different models size differently. When i was trying out ordinary ones, I was in a large..
