It seems that no matter what, I can't turn the fins outwards enough while my knees are bend like for example around 0:33 in the video above. Even on land without fins e.g siting on a chair I have difficulties turning my feet outwards like this unless I straighten my legs first or I spread my knees wide apart. Max I can get is 45 degrees or so. My legs seems to be too stiff to turn that much. Anything I can do???
During diving like this I can move forward a bit but it is slow and it doesn't feel efficient, nice or smooth at all. Unfortunately I don't have a video.
Keep in mind that I don't own any diving fins yet. I try on every dive (with rented open-heel ones - cressi frog or something) and yesterday I tried with my old snorkeling close-heel fins while swimming on the surface facing up as suggested by the @The Chairman and others in another post. On the surface things were even worst. I could cover less than 10metters/30feet in 1 minute or so.
According to @Macan in another post cheap fins shouldn't be a problem though.
Any suggestions welcome. Thanks
