DIR dogma says wear jet fins with my rockboots. I'm not one to follow dogma, but I actually like the idea of having short & wide fins to maximize my maneuverability in the water, as I've started doing more videography. My problem is that jet fins don't seem to fit my size 8 rockboots at all: the large (a faux pas in DIRland, apparently) seems too small as only my toes really fit into the fin pocket and the strap doesn't come close to going around my heel, and the XL has too much side to side play in the pocket (and oddly enough I can still just barely get the strap around my heel). Even so, the contact with my foot seems sketchy at best, since the fin pocket is symmetrical on the top and bottom (most other fins have a larger cut into the top of the pocket to allow the foot to go in deeper). My question: any suggestions? I thought about getting the jet fins anyway and cutting the top of the pocket, but this seems less than optimal. Can anyone recommend any other traditional paddle fins along these lines? Thanks in advance. |
