It seems then that a shorter/stiffer fin would be better suited for the kick and glide style. Not only it would allow for more powerfull kick from the quasi still stand, and avoid both the V-bend and overpowering, but the shorter blade would also reduce the drag in the glide phase. Did you try experimenting with that, Dave?
