Have been considering CF fins, but would likely go Med or stiffer based off of what folks have been telling me. Would use for scuba primarily. Just starting free diving. I wear 10-11 and would consider what you got for your brother, but looks like those are in soft. At 6'3" and 230 and wearing a BC and steel 120 tank, a few have said soft would be too soft for what I do. Hopefully you get a buyer soon.
