Wow, we're equating sculling with putting your mask on your forehead? Why?

You ask this as the Chairman?!? Are you still on pain meds?

infinite is obviously an exaggeration. I use Deep6 Eddy in XXL so the blade is roughly 12"x9" per fin or call it 120sqin since you get something out of the foot pocket area. My hand is roughly 8"x4" excluding thumb so 30 ish sqin. Assume stiffness is the same, so the fin has ~4x the surface area vs my hand. That's fairly substantial when it comes to moving around

Using your logic, wearing large surface-area gloves would make it OK to scull. Politely disagree.
Sculling is not a deliberate motion and is typically indicative of discomfort in the water and should never be allowed..

How about also doing 34.2 miles over 24 hours, with the same fins.
I own a pair of these and use them when I teach divers who don't have the use of their legs. It's not sculling when you're using them on purpose.Could be a pair of these are in your future.
