Results 1 to 3 of 3   1. #1      A question about fins that's
not about how they fit      This question stems from the
previous fin thread.     Is it better to have a stiff blade on
the the fin or is it better to have a flexible blade?      I'd
never even considered a flexible blade 'til I read this article
about George Greenough and he said he preferred a hard foot
pocket and a blade with flex and memory. He modified some old
duckfeet to make it happen. He's a knee boarder/mat rider, so
the technique is a little different, but the same principles
should stand I think. I always figured that a stiff blade moved
more water, but maybe the snap is better. Any thoughts? There's
definitely a couple guys on here who know something about fins.

about personal preference and your style of riding. Find a fin
that is comfortable and works for you, and go with it. If your a
drop knee rider, then you might require something different from
the all prone guys
