[cool][#0000ff]It's okay to break the water with your fins. No laws agin it. But, it is a waste of energy if you kick that hard upward. One of the things you need to learn to do...instinctively...is to kick downward as hard as you kick upward. With a good flex blade fin like the Planas you get good propulsion. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Also, when trying to "motate", sometimes rapid shorter kicks are more effective and less tiring than long heavy kicks.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]It is all something that you work out for yourself with experience.[/#0000ff]
