They do not like being squashed in bags on planes!
Almost may take on as hand luggage from now on to protect them.
Oh, my Precious, ala

Hi Goblin,
You may find this thread helpful when choosing your new fins. There are a lot of older threads stored, which you can view by changing the "display options" below the sub-thread menu.
Cheers,
Alex

I almost bumped this thread the other day, 'cause I wanted to ask if anyone out there has been using the leaderfin games fin, you know the rubber coated fiberglass. there were mentions of the durability being suspect and I was wondering if anyone who may have been using them for a few months now has any input?

ala´s

would you believe theres a guy in spain who had like 15 pairs of alas..

and he sold them all off for 70 euros(thats nothing)
he got them in croatia,how,i have no idea.

im sure theres loads of them out there in the world somewhere,on pallets in big wharehouses.

there´s a french underwater hockey player making fins and they seem pretty good,they are going for 150 euros(ouch)

i think i saw benson wearing them a month ago,he reckons they were pretty good.
theres also a 2 year garuntee with them.

fred(a user here) has a pair,ask him and hé can fill you in

is it possible to make a mould of alas ourselves and reproduce them.

somone out there would make a killin.

Last I heard, Gary was in discussions with the NZ mens team. I've got a pair of his spearing/freediving fins and they're pretty outstanding (awful for hockey though). Maybe I should chase him up...
