Stealth player and Winchester Fins

Hi,

I'm new to the sport and after some fins. I tried some really rigid ones and it hurts the calves quite a bit. I saw the Stealth fins and they look quite interesting, but how do they compare with the more traditional shapes?

Cheers,

Francois

Hi Francois,
The stealths are based on the churchill fin, I would say(but not everyone) that the churchill makappu is probably the best fin you can get, but i've heard that the stealth is more durable (if possible) than the churchill.

If you're looking for a less stiff fin then I'd go for something like Manta Sharp Cuts if you can manage to find them somewhere, or Tech 2 Fins are really comfey and don't hurt my calves when compared to the Churchill replica fins I used to wear.
