He's not doing them any more Ali - but I agree, they are the mutts nuts.

If you can get hold of marine grade springs and shackles you could probably make your own.

I tried the Beaver ones last year on my 'holiday' Mares Volos and I couldn't get them to fit - took em back to the shop. The springs seemed awfully inflexible too, unlike my loverlee Woz Straps.

Bummer!
But at least I know not to let mine go with the fins, if I ever change them

If you are anywhere near Nottingham then nip into Kato Entex and pick up a spring from the trade counter- if you are just after one for a bit of a home project they'll normally let you have it for nowt. It's a 2618 in stainless you want. Then pop into my place and pick up some tubing to go over it (I've got a whole roll of clear left) and a bit o' string. Last thing you'll need are 4 off 5mm bow shackles in stainless from a chandlers.

Alternatively bungee works just as well and is pennies. Stick with the tube, though, over the top.

Was looking at getting some of the ND straps. Do you know if they fit any fins? I have the Oceanic V12 split fins.

They only fit the ones with the "mushroom" on each side of the fin. Mares ones have 2 little lugs under the mushroom head that need trimming with a Stanley knife.

wow, thanks for all the replies

i saw that beaver do "commercial spring straps", without any buckles and was leaning towards these.
but now, think i'll go for the nd.
i have ordered bow shackles from force4chandelery. but guess theyre not needed.
i'm down on the dorset "riviera", so a bit far to go to pop into your shop woz, cheers for the offer.

many thanks for all the replies +info

They are for Jet Fins and the like, they won't fit Quattros.
