Jester,
I grew up in Traverse City and lived in Ontario and the U.P. and when visiting family, I always take a pair of Force Fins with me.

You might be using a Terrestris Fin if - when you kick underwater without a heel strap your fin comes off your foot!

The last time I saw this photo, I thought that a traditional fin maker should glibly parody it by doing a similar one with a bright, shiny modern fin of theirs and a dirty old Birkenstock sandal on the other foot sitting on top of a similar board with the caption "you shouldn't wear your fins like hippies wear their clogs".
Still looking for a pair of excellators on ebay to try out sometime since the one real local dive shop in Memphis (The Dive Shop) doesn't carry FF. Cheers.

Water always follows the path of least resistance!

I took this photo of the Extra Force Fin, where you can see water flow patterns around the whiskers and scalloped V shaped Fin blade edge. The winglets generate a predominate leading-edge vortex ( LEV) which is responsible for proving lift and variable thrust control!
The foot free design makes this fin an Aquatic fin, a smart fin versus, all other the fins that are only an extension of your foot and provide leg cramps!
