[Fondueset]

Hi Salibandy,

The fin is quite wide - and much softer than either waterway - and I am used to the hard one. Interestingly I seem to get much better speed and distance with much less effort with Max's fin. I am still working on it but it seems to want a slower, longer stroke than the hard waterway - with more glide at the top and bottom of each stroke so the blade has time to return. This is quite good for recreational diving as it allows a very economical way of swimming. We took it and my soft waterway out today and now, provided I get my socks lined up right, I have almost no problems with foot pain. I did quite a few 50 or 60 yard sprints and a few dives to around 50 feet.

All very easy though I do feel my technique needs work as it still took 8 kicks up from 50 feet. You should see this fin go for surface swimming!

Salibandy - is your fin for constant ballast or dynamic competition?
