Rob,

yeah, duct tape is great for some things but for fins, not so much! I remember trying that a few years ago and being in excruciating pain, not realizing beforehand that duct tape SHRINKS when it gets cold (aka in the river). Talk about cutting off the circulation lol. =)

Hope your feet are ok and glad you enjoyed riverboarding. =)
