I'm not sure how that trend developed. A lot of Australians use flippers (I'd say there are more Australians that use flippers than those that don't), though a sizeable proportion never touch them.knee_boarder wrote:How come aussies tend to ride without swim fins and the yanks and the brits tend to ride with em?
Its funny you should say that, and I am not offended by it, Jim. I am fat. It seems that all larger kneeboarders wear fins. I wear fins. However, I'm not out of shape, nor am I lazy, so I can honestly say I could paddle a board that is bigger than 6' and 2.5" thick (max) without flippers. However, as everyone else has mentioned, the whole point of kneeboarding (originally) was to break away from drawn-out, weak longboard turns on the shoulder and put powerful turns where they matter: back towards the pocket. And yes, riding the barrel as much as possible on a hardboard, too.jim richardson wrote:Where ever you live in this world you use fins because you are fat, lazy or out of shape.
