Rocket fins can be had for all day for $25...just make sure they aren't brittle, cracking, or torn. You may have to replace the straps. Or rent. Fins come as splits or blades.
Blades offer more power and control than split fins. Split fins offer easy kicking, but they deliver less power per stroke, and they cannot be used with advanced finning techniques.
