That sounds like the fin is not reinforced under the footpockets and you bend the blade with your feet. Or the reinforcement (often a metalic plate) is bent or broken, or simply too weak. However, when gliding, the V-bend is not bad at all - in fact it stabilizes you. It is only bad when the fin is in action.
