Apparently, the "international afterglow" of Oktoberfest didn't make it the shores of the UK this fall!
G-Man -- the self-appointed head-wanker of the UK mat surf crowd -- took it upon himself to publicly trash, dis, bash, castigate and otherwise excoriate the American water-born institution known as "Voit Duck Feet."
(G-Man recuperating after another long, flat British Isle summer...)
In a recent Duck-Foot-specific posting, Mr. G took it upon himself to assess the legendary American swim fin after a half of a go-out! Then he threw them up for sale before the saltwater had even dried!!!
After tossing out a few weakly-leveraged compliments regard the Duckies, G-Man goes on to toss the baby out with the bathwater by relegating the epic flipper design to the last century!
(Last century...you gotta problem with dat?)
Stunned, Surfmatters initiated a police investigation into the inner workings of the science behind this so-called "fin test." What we learned was shocking...a woman claiming to be the UK representative for Da Fins was "on hand" for the festivities!
No further comment needed. Game, set, match: Voit Duck Feet!
(In your face, UKMS! USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!)
Lawsuits being filed on both sides of the pond as we speak...

PS My review is a personal opinion and is in no way representative of the views of other wankers in the UK Mat Surfing Community.
Represents my view,too.Dafin's sort of American,too,though,so it's nothing to do with patriotism.G's working on some fins as we speak.It's just removing them from his goldfish humanely that's the problem...
Best post in a long time, PG!
Unfortunately we Euros have no one who can stand up to Homer.
And what your forgetting about Boris Johnson good all round fellow always makes me laugh with his comments with a wicked hairstyle well more than me anyway. old surfer
Dafins are the snaker's choice. Ducks/UDts are too Zen for crowded UK breaks.
imagine pushing a udt fin vs a bodyboarding fin...the latter will have less drag but both have more than a streamlined full foot diving fin. A lot of this drag as resistance is what we equate with power. A tad on the soft but snappy side seems to be best for cruising and cranking it on without cramping it up. Sized down and with trident fin keepers for stay on power in bigger surf.
"Dafins are the snaker's choice."
You've seen me in action then!?

i find da fins good for beachbreak type surf. for covering more ground to surf points or reefs i prefer the ducks. just more power and less work.
