Review on Enhanced DMC Elite Silicone Water Fins for Optimal Swim and Training Performance by Andrew Kay

Where I live, fine sand to the first shallow, then a small dip and another shallow. I ordered them for bodyboarding. fast currents and shallow waters will require you to get out or stand up from time to time, longer fins can be a real problem. You don't have to fight the shore, you can go out and jump over the waves as they are short. Super soft rubber, I had no rubbing or chafing during several 2 hour sessions. To add power, one sailed into strong winds and a lateral gap, rushing right into the breakout zone on the way back. Wave acceleration was as good as any fin I've used. They don't swim so fins are a must but I still wear them with all bodyboard fins. If you get swept into the first bar or shoal, you can jump straight to your feet as if you were barefoot!
