      My feet cramp a lot too. I don't have a great solution but but I've found eating bananas [I think it's the potassium] and drinking lots of water and stretching my feet, rolling them around and massaging them seems to help a lot. I definitely still always cramp though

      Old comments, but I'm sure it can be of some help.
      My feet also cramped up in snorkling fins when I was younger, fast forward about 20 years later to last year when I was about to get my first pair and use fins again for the first time in roughly 20 years, I was really nervous about my feet cramping up, but I was just told, it was probably because I used fins that didn't fit me, and my current fins doesn't get my feet to cramp up.
      So I guess it's about having fins in the correct size and maybe walk in shoes that supports the curve under your feet and creates that support in your feet, I did have quite flat feet back then, now they have more of a curve to them from walking in shoes that puts up that support on them.

    Thanks for this presentation. I uses Mares long one meter hunting fins and do five kilometer lake crossings daily in the summer in Switzerland and also circa 17 kilometer rivers swims in a strong current (so this helps shorten the distance swum) at the confluence of the Arve and Rhone rivers in Geneva. I love long fins for the additional forwards propulsion and feeling of safety they confer- I often swim alone so it important to feel strong in the water and move as fat as possible. I swim with a Baywatch type off float on a string behind me. I also do ocean swims in Thailand. These fins are so powerful that twice I have caught large carpe fish in my hands as unbelievable as this may sound and boy did they give me a perspired look.

    @crunchers9 5 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I think it all depends on where I am snorkeling. Off the beach I use a 3rd choice- bodyboarding fins. These are similar to the short snorkel fins you showed except are a bit more streamlined and don't have an adjustable ankle strap, so you need to have different sizes if you need to wear thin or thick booties. They usually have good thrust.
    For boat snorkeling I used to use scuba fins, but since I prefer to travel with just a carry-on bag these days I now own the full length snorkel fins, which are a good compromise. I always wear at least fins socks when diving, just in case.

    • @JoeOceanside

    I plan to make a short trip to the Amalfi coast in one week. I will only go with cabin baggage and considered to buy short fins.
    It was just a bit weird that you mention at the full size snorkle fins that no additional gear is needed which makes traveling easier while at the short fins which actually would be 'the choice' for traveling the need for boots is totally fine...
    Reading the reviews of the short fins I guess I change my mind and go w/o fins.
    Btw. I use fins simliar to the Scuba fins you showed for snorkling for almost 30years. It's not hard to adjust the swim style that the fins don't get (significant) out of the water. For faster movement on the surface I use the arms crawling. Of course under water the trust comes only from the fins. But I can transport those fins only in my full size suitcase - diagonally.
    Hopefully my cold will be fully cured by then and I will be able to dive.

    How do you prevent chaffing in full pocket fins? I find I am between sizes and must use a larger size, but then they are slightly loose. They fall off a bit too easily and rub more because of the fit. That they don't float is a problem too. Its one thing to a scuba diver where you don't want them floating away, but different for snorkeling. Having my fin sink and then not having the propulsion to go down to get it is a problem.

      @JoeOceanside  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have never tried them but they do look like the perfect all purpose fin, as long as they fit your foot good. I will try to find a set, thanks for the heads up

      Joe Oceanside what are your recommended fitting steps. I tried on the 8/9 and they where a little tight and slightly uncomfortable for longer periods. The 9/10 fits and is slightly looser in the heel but I can’t kick them off ?

    i have a prejudice against feet fins
    i feel like i would be dragging my feet by kicking in the water
    that extra length of area where the fin bends means slowing down my kick to HAVE TIME FOR THE FIN to not bend as i kick back to its stable state

    • @Kevin-qj7fp
      @Kevin-qj7fp 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      with my feet the core of propulsion swimming through the water that extra hypothetical drag id have while wearing a fin is probably why i wouldn't want to wear fins

    Would you use diving fins for snorkeling? I don't want to buy three or four pairs of fins when i can use one pair for more than one thing.

    bought fins similar to your favourite ones and they seems to float too much.....making legs always goes up....are they suppose to float? cause it always brings my legs above my body...do i add weights on it to make it sink bleow my waist?

    • @JoeOceanside
      @JoeOceanside  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you are just snorkeling then that is fine. But if you plan to freedive you can wear a weight belt to help counteract the natural buoyancy of your body and gear. Just do NOT overweight it, that could be dangerous
