> this is one of those wacky ideas that may actually improve on the good ol' >monofin
I've been thinking about that for a while. The biggest advantage is that you don't have to change your stroke on the surface. There is no way to get the foil out of the water and you don't lose half your stroke as you do with the mono. I think that the rigid foil has a lot less drag than any flexible fin. Eliminating the foot pockets and strapping it to the shins was a good idea, too. I spent about thirty minutes with the inventor and I think his IQ was about double mine, maybe 150 or so.
Thanks for the picture. I never saw or met anyone else that tried it.
Aloha
