Any recommendations on fins?
The fins i use for Snorkelling now bend between the heel and the toes and give me a cramp which isn’t so good in the middle of the ocean! Any fins that aren’t so flexible ?
Use scuba fins. You will need to wear dive boots with them but they’re not a big deal. They’re kind of like a neoprene sock. The scuba fins will be stiffer and will provide more thrust when you need it, but can also be used in a gentle and relaxed, low effort motion as well.
Check out the "propeller" fins that are split down the middle. They are quite a bit easier on the legs and still seem to generate good thrust, but the technique is a little different. Smaller kicks at a slightly faster face, etc.
Or, if you want a lot of trust in an instant, get a pair of the "old school" paddle fins. They take a little more leg muscle to use for long periods of time, but they have been fine for most people for several decades.
I use both types, depending on what I’m doing, and for how long. My propeller fins are Tusa and my paddle fins are Scuba Pro. I don’t believe in being a slave to a brand, those just happen to be what I liked in each type.
