almost

 I had almost convinced myself that I already had enough fins to last a lifetime.

Then Stevie D posted up some favorable information on the new Voit Duck Feet over at Surfmatters.

Now I don't know...

I've always been a vanilla Duck Feet kind of guy

well with a few modifications

just to make things interesting

I swear I can stop any time 

But you have to have summer fins, 

ones that you can wear with no fin sock, then a pair that works best with fin socks, then another larger pair for winter when I wear a full booty.

Then there is the pair you are breaking in so if one of your regular fins fails ...

That pair that I bought at the garage sale for 5 bucks that were pretty thrashed but in a good way,

Oh then there are the UDTs I've been whittling away drunken monkey style for years now. Eventually they will be perfect

There are the Churchills that I won in the raffle that work really good and basic black goes with everything in my closet...

and I had been meaning to get a pair of Da Fins...

Now the vanilla Voit rubber blend isn't vanilla anymore and is even better!

So I'm asking for your for help

I need a new story to tell my wife as to why I need another pair of new fins. 

She sees thru my normal BS like plate glass

so I think out sourcing the reasoning is best

The more bizarre the the story better!

Lets see what ya got in the comments section ...
