The only thing that I had against the Force Fins - when I got to borrow
yours and Ralf's - was their (the way that I'm used to using fins)
uselessness when surface swimming.  On the plus side - and, once again, at a
personal level - they were excellent for below surface swimming!  :-)

And yours deserve to be dipped in gold and hung over the mantel-piece
judging by the use that you got from them.  :-))))
