Flipper drag

[quote="flexspoon"]I guess everyone missed the point - I don't feel any drag, not even an issue. I was pointing out how silly it is to worry about it, especially when my hand dragging on the face has tons more drag than fins in/on my wake. Lack of speed is not a concern.

What iz a Drag

iz when my wake getz sprayed in my face ...from my flipperz on my handz!!!Lack of speed iz no concern to me....I go really,really Fast and I can out Drag anything,anyone or anywhere in the water or .....the water

I never knew if I was draggin flippers while kneeboarding back in the 70's but after I was dry landed by the Marine Corps in Arizona, I started to do some "FOOT" draggin to fulfill my rush for the water and the speed was unreal. But Im glad to be back on a kneeboard and finding a decent place to hang when not in the water.

This is what replaced kneeboarding for a few years in the desert. It aint surfin but it was fun! And expensive as HELL

Thanks

Jeff, did you prefer Churchills or Duckfeet while you were driving that ski?

Probably didn't notice much flipper drag with all that horsepower.

does anyone have experienc with the laguna Neofin II's? I'm looking for my first pair of flippers and would prefer something that would work with my 5 mm & 3 mm booties as well as no booties... is this even possible? they seem the most likely candidates dude to the adjustability with the velcro strap.

dude, aren't those fins specifically for diving??

You're probably better off looking for a Churchill, DaFin, Duck Feet, Viper etc. that fit with the "bootie of the day"

Most of us that choose to wear swimfins will have more than one pair in our bag of tricks.

Or you can choose to not wear them.

P.S.---if you are from NH, some pictures of your home break would be really cool.
