Also, how are the flippers? Do the long flippers give a bigger advantage over the shorter ones like the $59 cressi snorekl gear?

I prefer the longer ones. you get more thrust with slower kicking or short strokes. Saves energy and if you really need power it is there.

Hi! It was a gift for my dad and he loved them! He has been happy with them so far.

These flippers are nice. We use them for basic diving and snorkelling, and they are great. I cannot compare with the short fins, but I imagine packing short fins is easier than long ones.

Absolutely!!! The bigger ones give you advantage in the traction. This ones are better to snorkeling, are big enough to give you enough pushing to snorkeling and its little enough to carry them comfortably.

It would be better to get a longer loggier board for a beginner that floats them better. Costco sells one in early summer that is about seven or eight foot. Those boards are great to teach a kid to surf on, though only the strongest kids will get that size board to duck dive.

I don't know the difference but per my review, i can recommend the bag. It can carry snorkle gear for 2 including wetsuits and is high quality. I bought the one that was like $10 more than my friends bag and his definitely wasn't as big or nice in terms of overall quality. Hope that helps!

The Kraken is ok for comfort. It's not the best. It seems like the more you break it in, the more comfortable it gets, though. The sound could also be much better for the price.

Oh yeah, you have to pull that out. Flippers feel much better once you get rid of the insert.

Id have to say, probably not much. The Bio fuse according to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvqCa_dhbC8, look way more flat. I used the contoured speedo ones and find that I do NOT use them anymore. They were helpful on backstroke for like a week and now Im done with them. If you think you need paddles, I would try the Biofuse, cause I dont feel any more resistance with the contoured. However, the quality is really good, hard plastic, and tight bands. So Im assuming the Biofuse will be the same quality that will last for years to decade. I want to try the Biofuse now. I think these are all kinda gimmicks if you already know how to swim. I dont use a kick board, I lie on my back. But try the Biofuse and then sell them online if you dont like them.

As Lyle said, it sucks. I can't actually use it to open the blade. The flipper works well though and with the SpeedSafe feature, the flipper is all you really need.

Yes. This is a feature you will find on most reeks. Regarding the Trio, I have the 30 matched with a Tarvos rod and it is my favorite combination at this moment. I usually fish for Lane, Mutton and Mangrove snapper. I recently landed a four foot Bonnethead shark with this combination. Fantastic fight!

I did some research on the YakTrax site and it looks like there are Pro and Extreme versions that would be more suited for hiking. I am a hiker so I was considering these but now I'm thinking that I should get one of the other versions.

They are a little small for a 65 if you are going to be keeping SPS or LPS corals. If just softies, you may be good, but I would go a bit bigger unless you are putting several of the Hydros in there. Say 2 on each side and possibly 2 on the back. I know they are a bit more expressive, but if you are trying to save money go with the jabos, or if you are willing to invest, I cannot stress enough, tons tons tons better, the Vortechs. I use Vortechs 2 MP40 controlled with my apex; I know they are very expressive but they are worth every penny in comparison, especially if you have the apex controller with the wxm. This is how I have mine set up and the difference is night and day. I went from the large jabos to two Vortechs. My corals responded almost instantly. They love them. The Jabos push the water hard while the Vortechs create an undertow and are gentle so you don't blast you corals. This allows for less trash from settling on the sand bed. I can tell the most when feeding; the food never touches the sand bed, it stays floating the whole time and that is without using the feed mode. They all work different and it is to much to get into, but if you are going to build a reef tank you want to go as natural as possible and the Vortechs are the only way to go IMHO. You can sometimes find them for a good price used on ebay, and remember all ecotech equipment are able to be upgraded with a simple plug and play. 1 MP40 should do you for now and just add another later as a slave and run it at a max of 75%. If you need additional info I am happy to help.

I think the rubber is quite soft actually. They are definitely softer than the Zoomer fins - the Zoomers actually hurt my feet sometimes, and I sized them pretty well. The Microfins to me were sized a bit larger so they are a tad loose on my feet, but they still work out well and do not fall off.

Thanks for responding. I took it to hawaii and used it snorkelling I was afraid it would die but it worked great and took some cool fish pictures. I'm very impressed with it

Hi Raymond, I wish I could help you but I haven't used mine yet. I intend to get back to bass fishing sometime, but I'm basically a fly fishermen and I'm having a hard time putting my mind back into spinning gear mode. Yes, they sound good, and I hope someone can offer you a definitive answer soon. Tight lines! Regards, Ron

No way, man. If you're just starting out and want a foamy, you're going to want a much longer board with better buoyancy:weight. They are expensive, so I suggest renting for a few days and get smart on the characteristics of the board, what length works for you, what's best for your wave conditions, etc.

I just ordered the Airhead (but from Walmart.com...where it was 80$ less) I finally found a review where one person had bought both boats (also the Sea Eagle 370 pro) and he swears the airhead is much better: http://www.buzzillions.com/reviews/airhead-performance-12-travel-kayak-2-person-reviews (1th review Dont dimiss this one) Airhead has better material and tracking, seats are better and the bottom is more stiff. It even looks better. I also found some youtube videos and must say the seaeagle looks like it sinks in the middle too much. The airhead sidewalls also look much lower (easier to paddle and of course to get in after swimming). Some airhead might have problems with leaks (I will return it easely in the next Walmart if it leaks...), the SeaEagle is reported to look a little bit dirty after a few uses because the white color takes on black or blue stripes. I paid 400 with two 96" paddles, two life vests, electric 12v pump and a hand pump (for the extra psi)

Same dif, except the diver has that little box to catch the choppings, which, in my opinion is very nice cause the stuff does tend to fly around. The device where the box is underneath is really the best...it's on Amazon too.
