I realize that. The point is that everyone in these videos is not hired by me, nor have I even met them before the video was shot. They are simply who they are with the skill set the have at the time. So let's not pick at the technique of these divers. Just look at what the fins can do. I brought up the buoyancy to point out that this person is well skilled in at least that aspect of diving so it should be presumed that she is at least competent in other areas. At the time that video was shot she had only had the fins on for 15 minutes and may not have been completely dialed in. I was impressed that she was able to helicopter, backup, and frog kick to her satisfaction without touching the bottom, or stirring up any silt without using her hands at all on a pair of fins she had never used before in 4' of water on the first try.?? The post you responded to was not about her buoyancy! It was about her supposed kick style "demos"...
On another note, since everyone seems to think frog kicking is so important I spent a lot of time watching "professionals" demonstrate frog kicking on youtube and found there does not seem to be any real standard. Everyone seems to do it differently. No doubt some of those differences come from the various fins used.
Here is what I was able to capture which illustrated the basic difference between the classic frog and the MaxAir frog.
