Another Great Video, thanks mate

Can you address foot cramps while finning? Is it caused by poor technique, poor conditioning, poor hydration? Any dry land training exercises for the foot/legs you recommend? The bottom of my foot is usually what cramps up.

Glad you enjoyed it! Looking forward to continuing sharing the freediving and spearfishing knowledge.

Thanks Wayne. Good stuff. One question: how does a ‘dolphin’ kick compare to the ‘scissor’ kick, efficiency-wise? Obviously there’s some benefit, otherwise there wouldn’t be monofins. Now, ‘dolphin’ kick with bifins is going to be a little less efficient than with monofins. But, does bifin dolphin kick offer advantages over bifin scissor kick? You see almost no one doing the bifin dolphin kick. Why?

I think you need give away that fins🤪🤪🤪👌👌👌

dynamite video! thx!

I have a question, I bought fins with a heel, not full foot, is blades a better option?

[@stealthy919]

Full for gives a more secure footing and will optimise the power transfer. Fins are a much better option than open heel flippers

Sometimes it's confusing. For example, i was told when i duck dive, to start with a big amplitude of finning movement to have power to fight buoyancy and then decrease it progressively until free fall.
But as you explain it here, big amplitude actually slows me down (and it makes sense), so i'm a bit confused
Until then i was trying to achieve what you can see in that short video : ua-cam.com/video/tLNSiIx1-L0/v-deo.html

I suggest you rewatch the Common Flaws in Finning Technique and drill the technique. It does make sense as you said and once you master the technique, you won’t go back. Also check out the video called: Getting the Most out of Carbon Fibre Fins, on this channel. Cheers WJ
