Hydro Tech II
Grey - 19-10-2006 at 12:29

Does anyone know a UK stockist of Hydro Tech II fins please? I want some Ice White in a Large or XL. I've got some Large black ones presently that I'd consider trading.

I have some white Tech II Fins in large. I couldn't find anywhere in my short search that sell them in clear white, they all seem to be sold out.

I did find some in clear blue though:

or

I went on holiday to France to get my clear white Tech II's. Have a look round your nearest surf shops that don't sell online they'll have some floating around, you can sometimes find them on eBay too.

I've heard that they don't sell the clear ones anymore. I read somewhere the reason for that is there was a problem with the manufacturing of them, they tear split or something like that, I had a blue pair no problems until i walked over a reef in them, good fins but not as durable as some other ones on the market

Mine have been ok so far.

If you're walking across a reef then I would expect it to rip, they're meant to be slightly soft so that they're comfey on your feet instead of having really hard rubber.

The blue ones are slightly clear/see through as well. So I think all the colours are made from the same material.

Ive only heard bad things about tech 2s, waste of money in my opinion. Id rather some churchills and a slab of beer for the same price

A slab of beer? I didn't realise beer came in the state of a solid.
I had the money to spend when I was in France on a surf trip, so I bought myself some Tech 2's and they're great, so much more comfortable, the power is slightly better.

There was a mjor problem with the Ice White Tech 2 fins in that they were splitting - there seems to be no issues with the Ice Blue/Cola as yet however be careful especially with PeeBay!!

Why not try out some POD2's - they're reall comfy and very powerful!!

I've never really experienced any problems with my Ice White Tech 2 fins splitting.

I've never tried the POD2's myself, but I've heard good things about them, I just don't like the design as much for some reason.
