Foil Body Motion?

I was looking at monofins today and came across the Finis Foil (which is inexpensive enough to just give it a try). The thing is - the advert talks about "The Foil Body Motion" as taught by Bob Gillette. I cant seem to find any reference to this technique outside of the sales materials for the monofin. Is this a real thing or merely sales propaganda? If real, can anyone point me to training or other reference materials? Bill

  • I don't really use them because I don't really need them. Used to use them. Learned what could be learned from them... don't use them now. Now my size 15's are plenty. :angel: OMG! That is just unfair!!! :bow: Fins aren't just a learning tool. By using them for AFAP work, you're engaging in neuro-muscular patterning. Your body will get used to going above race pace speed and be faster without fins. That's the main value for me in training.
