REE...will they fit over extra large wading boots?
I'm intrigued, but a little confused as to how they work. :confused:
It seems that on the "up stroke" they would propel you forward, but on the "down stroke" the would propel you backward. It seems that you wouldn't end of getting anywhere. Of course, I still haven't gotten the hang of regular fins for float tube use either. :roll:
They 'snap' in place; stick out like regular ones then.
With Force Fins it is the same motion as bouncing a child on your foot while seated.
With the longer scuba fins, you can put your legs more straight out in front and move your feet the same as swimming so you would actually be propelling yourself on the up and down stroke.
It took me a long time to figure this out.
I have always been the type, the scoops the water up, then pull my heel back through the water and repeat on the other side.
But came across a group the uses these scuba fins. Of course, it still seems to me you would have to somewhat lean back and some boats don't make this comfortable, so it is still up to the individual.
I appreciate the remark about the bad weather coming up when in the middle of the lake. That's when I do aerobic float tubing, it is also the reason I carry a couple of hand paddles, cut from the side of a 5 gallon bucket with a flip flop sole handle. You can greatly increase your speed when Mother Nature calls you to leave the lake.
Very clever UJ.....I used to use ping pong paddles....
Right on Uj....great idea, allot of people don't think about adding arm power.
When you are on the far side of the lake and a thunderstorm slips up on you, realizing you are the high point of the lake and real slow is top speed, arm power helps. Lightning overhead is a great motivator. I happen to know I'm allergic to lightning.
One friend uses plastic dustpans and another frisbees.
I bought a PONTUBE that has oars...in fact I can add a motor, right Duckster!
