    I got the Churchill fins from K-Coast and didnt were them yet. Are they good fins or should i return them and get another pair?

    I liked the churches only sometimes they can be a pain to clean out when your riding...

    churchills never worked for me - they tore up my feet. I rock tech fins. tech's are wide and one of the most powerful fin I've used.

    micah thats exactly y i use them in the winter, wider and strong, great for those heavy drifty days!! vipers i only use bc i like the narrow foot pocket and their pad inside the fin so its not rubber on bare skin! v5's are a little ligther so makes it easier for me when competing and they have good thrust.

    During the summer I wear tech2's, imo they are the best fins there are.Techs have the best fit plus they have a good thrust. Then next comforitable fins are unitx those fins fit like a glove plus they float, the only thing I didn't like about them is the front part like got bent down some how and it was just weird when I kicked. But as far as churchills go I hate them I only where them in the winter cuz I have a big foot and I have to cut off the tips, they are soooo annoying.

    yellow/blue churchills are the best. they do tear up your feet though so be sure to get some good neoprene fin socks...and now that its winter, you need them anyway.

    I got the blue and gray churchills. The person at K-Coast said they give more thrust then the blue and yellow.
