Has anyone used forcefins? It sounds like DIR specifies stiff, less flexible fins. I can do a frog kick, backroll, and even backwards swim in my forcefins, any problems forseen?

Take a DIR-F class. If there are performance issues with the Force Fins, that'll point them out to you... on video.
 
CanadianDiverGirl:
A big, huge, definate NO!
So you say no problem with using Force Fins?
 
From what iàve seen they are way less flexiable then the standard jets.

Sounds great! The backroll is the big one you need to pass Fundamentals. That one and the flutter kick barrel roll took me the longest to master. :D
 
I have tried using forcefins to do frogkick and etc and
I have difficulty doing the kicks. Maybe it is because they are too light and soft and it make me feel as though I don't have any fins on at all.

Guess I'm just used to the weight of Jetfins :p
 
Once youve tried a pair of jets you wont go back, they cut the water so easily when in trim and have this nice little snap at the end of each proper fin stroke.
