look at all the pretty colors

We are going thru a bit a end of summer slow down and so I'm taking the opportunity to play with my fins

Even with fin socks I have been getting an abrasion on the top of my toes so I thought I would add some additional padding for my piggies

This mod is inspired by Viper fins and Paul Gross' tweeking as mentioned on Surfmatters

(If only the Vipers came in EEE widths!)

I am using some neoprene scraps from trimming my winter hood

(If they mention Wolfgang Bloch give em half credit)

Since the piece of material I was using was more than wide enough I am going to see if the "wrap around" gives my enormous toes some additional cushion!

This would be the left foot

I'm using just a dab, maybe a dab-and-a-half of silicone sealant to tack the whole thing down.

That will make it easier to remove and reposition if need be.

If this turns out perfect on the first try, highly unlikely I know, I'll glue it in more securely.

PS - Let me know how you mod your fins. What are you cutting off or adding on and what glue you use to hold it all together.

If you can send pictures great!
