C4 or Carbon stingray or Pursuit C90

jcmeng · 03-30-2011, 05:58 PM

I currently own a pair of Gara professional LDs and are trying to decide if it is worth upgrading to carbon fins. If it is, I have narrowed my choices to the three options mentioned above

. I will be spearing mostly in about 30-80 feet of water. Advise or suggestions are welcome.

I love my Pursuit C90 meds in H.dessault pockets. If you you look in the Pursuit Carbon fin thread there are many good reviews. My extra C4 mustangs went up for sale, I beach dive allot along with long swims and dives
over 75' when needed.

Cheers, Don
Here is one of the threads but there are several.

Pursuit fins reviews http://www.freedivingspearfishing.co...roll-call.html

The only things I hear about the C4 fins is how often they break and how expensive they are. Pursuit fin owners simply don't worry about their blades breaking, and can concentrate on diving and shooting fish. Yeah I'm bashing the competition, but this doesn't mean what I said isn't true.

I too love my pursuit c90s, but I haven't tried any other carbon fins.

Dan do you have the stingray footpockets?

See my review of the Stingray footpockets http://www.freedivingspearfishing.co...ts-review.html I don't sell them because I don't think they're good footpockets. I do sell omer Millenium footpockets.

I made the switch from Garas to the Pursuits and never looked back. You won't find a better built fin out there at any price.

I can tell you I used some Omer Stingray pockets in a tournament and my feet cramped soo bad I left my $500 fins on the boat. I will never ever buy those again....ever. C4 fins are great for freediving, I personally have not seen them used for spearfishing much. I use c90is in beuchat fps and I just dont need anything else.

I have to agree. Where are you located in Miami and what size shoe do you wear? You should try some on

If having used the same fins for 7 years every weekend until you could see the carbon filaments coming apart for how weared they were and buying the newest model to use it for 3 years now with no problems is "breaking often", you're right about C4's, which by the way, I paid at "italian" price (their price in the USA is ridiculously expensive!).

This been said, today I would buy Pursuit fins because they are good fins at a reasonable price, Dan is a cool guy and he will honor your warranty localy.
