The softer materials of the sock and the heel strap make it more comfortable. The reduced blade reduces the size, so that beginners feel more confident when entering the water and swimming in waves. The stiffer blade and side ribs allow for gentle and regular propulsion. The symmetrical shape allows a good balance between kicking power and fin size. For extra comfort, add neoprene socks.

Always try on the fins before buying them. Your foot should be supported without being compressed. The back strap should be in contact with your heel and your toes should not be bent. If you add neoprene socks for comfort and/or warmth, you will need to go up half a size. Consider trying the fins on with and without socks at the time of purchase. Using or not using a fin leash will also require you to go up or down half a size.

For greater efficiency, the fins must remain underwater. Which is the reason why they are sufficiently heavy to avoid splashing at the water's surface, especially when used by beginners. Consequently, the use of fin leashes (available separately) is strongly recommended. Leashes make the fins more comfortable and avoid the risk of losing your fins when in the water.

To ride down the line of the wave on a bodyboard and not swerve off to the side, you can use fins to help you. The side ribs will help you to stick to the face of the wave better and hold your line. Asymmetric fins (e.g. RIP fins) can accentuate this phenomenon and require good bodyboarding skills since, with the thrust of the fin not being symmetrical, it results in additional twisting forces in the knees. It is therefore reserved for advanced riders.

Bodyboarding is a fantastic sport, but one that requires everyone to respect certain basic rules to preserve the safety and enjoyment of all. 1- Ask about and observe the characteristics of the spot: current, rocks, tides, the size of the waves and the crowds, etc. 2- Don’t overestimate your level, and go for an easier spot if your skills aren’t on par with the conditions. 3- Use suitable equipment: Leash, fins, and board in good condition, suitable wetsuit.

4- Respect the rules of right of way on the waves: Right of way goes to the person closest to the peak. 5- Follow the direction of the wave when moving toward the peak to keep from cutting another boarder off. 6- Use fins if the water is above your hips. 7- If you’re not using fins, it’s recommended you keep to a supervised area. Lifeguards can tell you where these are. 8- Bodyboard in a group.
