Splits, sand and kicks

[KOMPRESSOR]

According to the Atomic website, split fins are designed such that they kick up less sand and silt when used properly (i.e using small flutter kicks).

1. It's a joke.
2. It's marketing.
3. It's a darn lie.

Pick your choice! :14:

I haven't really experienced that myself nor compared to other fins as I can't really turn around and look any my own fins when I'm kicking...I'm not that flexible ;P My opinion is that if you kick about wildly (whether in split fins or not) near the bottom, and, depending on the type of bottom sediment, you tend to kick up huge loads of sand anyways. Perhaps using another style of kicks might be better closer to the bottom...maybe frog kicks?

You're so right. And it doesn't work with split fins.

... and "everone knows" that you can't frog kick in splits
