Generally I enter with fins OFF, unless I am doing a rocky entry, then fins on for sure.
You will learn to watch and observe the sets. it's funny, for I always see instructors take their students into the surf when it really needn't be that way at all. Timing is everything. Look to see WHERE the waves are breaking. Once there is a lull, run like hell past the surf zone, inflate your BC and don your fins.
PS. Make sure you have your fins far enough up your ARM (not in your hands) so you don't loose them in case you do get hit by a way.
I tripple the idea of spring straps. they are the best!
