      My feet cramp a lot too. I don't have a great solution but but I've found eating bananas [I think it's the potassium] and drinking lots of water and stretching my feet, rolling them around and massaging them seems to help a lot. I definitely still always cramp though

      Old comments, but I'm sure it can be of some help.
      My feet also cramped up in snorkling fins when I was younger, fast forward about 20 years later to last year when I was about to get my first pair and use fins again for the first time in roughly 20 years, I was really nervous about my feet cramping up, but I was just told, it was probably because I used fins that didn't fit me, and my current fins doesn't get my feet to cramp up.
      So I guess it's about having fins in the correct size and maybe walk in shoes that supports the curve under your feet and creates that support in your feet, I did have quite flat feet back then, now they have more of a curve to them from walking in shoes that puts up that support on them.

    Thanks for this presentation. I uses Mares long one meter hunting fins and do five kilometer lake crossings daily in the summer in Switzerland and also circa 17 kilometer rivers swims in a strong current (so this helps shorten the distance swum) at the confluence of the Arve and Rhone rivers in Geneva. I love long fins for the additional forwards propulsion and feeling of safety they confer- I often swim alone so it important to feel strong in the water and move as fat as possible. I swim with a Baywatch type off float on a string behind me. I also do ocean swims in Thailand. These fins are so powerful that twice I have caught large carpe fish in my hands as unbelievable as this may sound and boy did they give me a perspired look.

  • @crunchers9
    @crunchers9 5 років тому +12

    I think it all depends on where I am snorkeling. Off the beach I use a 3rd choice- bodyboarding fins. These are similar to the short snorkel fins you showed except are a bit more streamlined and don't have an adjustable ankle strap, so you need to have different sizes if you need to wear thin or thick booties. They usually have good thrust.
    For boat snorkeling I used to use scuba fins, but since I prefer to travel with just a carry-on bag these days I now own the full length snorkel fins, which are a good compromise. I always wear at least fins socks when diving, just in case.

    I plan to make a short trip to the Amalfi coast in one week. I will only go with cabin baggage and considered to buy short fins.
    It was just a bit weird that you mention at the full size snorkle fins that no additional gear is needed which makes traveling easier while at the short fins which actually would be 'the choice' for traveling the need for boots is totally fine...
    Reading the reviews of the short fins I guess I change my mind and go w/o fins.
    Btw. I use fins simliar to the Scuba fins you showed for snorkling for almost 30years. It's not hard to adjust the swim style that the fins don't get (significant) out of the water. For faster movement on the surface I use the arms crawling. Of course under water the trust comes only from the fins. But I can transport those fins only in my full size suitcase - diagonally.
    Hopefully my cold will be fully cured by then and I will be able to dive.

    How do you prevent chaffing in full pocket fins? I find I am between sizes and must use a larger size, but then they are slightly loose. They fall off a bit too easily and rub more because of the fit. That they don't float is a problem too. Its one thing to a scuba diver where you don't want them floating away, but different for snorkeling. Having my fin sink and then not having the propulsion to go down to get it is a problem.

    Freediving fins (although it is a pain to walk up to the diving board in them)

    Just have a question cuz im planing to buy fins but dont know what are the softest and what are the hardest to move your legs with *PLEASE NOTICE*

  • @warcreed5658
    @warcreed5658 2 роки тому

    I would take a long fin with open heep (I doubt it exists).
    I know for freediving you would want less drag and weight, but in cold water or in a rocky beach it is very useful. Besides I don't plan to dive so deep so I can trade some time underwater with other needs

    I been using scuba fins while snorkeling I had no clue but I don't have a hard time snorkeling with em to be honest.

    • @JoeOceanside
      @JoeOceanside  4 роки тому

      Yeah, usually its no problem. I used my scuba fins today for snorkeling, just a little heavier and more straining on the legs, but not a problem for most experienced snorkelers. Thanks for watching!

    thanks for the great video! Quick question, it seems Caravellle is no longer being made. Is there a new line of product from AquaLung that is replacing the Caravellle? Maybe Wind or Express? Thanks!!
