Anyone use the Hydro Tech 2 Swim Finz / Fins?

These fins look really interesting. They are made out of silicone instead of rubber.

We’ve been selling them for three years:

TriBodyboarder,

So what do you think of them?

Nice soft foot pocket, decent thrust, and they look pretty cool. Only negative, at least from a bodyboarding perspective is that silicone is alot more sensitive to UV breakdown than rubber, but it’s definitely softer and more comfortable. In a pool environment, they would last longer since there’s no salt/sand to corrode them, and if it’s an indoor pool, the sun wouldn’t be a factor.
We have other fins too. The Laguna Fins would be pretty comfortable:

We sell alot of these to people doing swim training just because they’re so comfortable.

Man you have a lot of fins for sure. The Laguna looks pretty nice. I didn’t realize there were so many short fins out there for boarding.

Yep I will only be using my fins indoors. I have the new Z2 fins they rub my feet raw in certain areas, so I ordered the Hydro Tech 2 Swim Finz to give them a try.

The original Hydros are awesome. The University team here uses them. They haven’t upgraded to the Hydro 2 yet, but they might.

The originals did a good job of allowing you to kick with a fast tempo, and the rubber is soft, unlike the Zoomer.
