    Chris, I've been thinking about ordering some Zura fins. Tell us more about why you like them! Beth, I use them too and they definitely help with body position, I get a faster pull than swim with my fins on as they really lift my hips and hold me in a perfect swim position (now to learn to do it without them). I was reading up on them again b/c I'm thinking about geting zoomers too. The Alphas work the down kick (quads), whereas I've heard the zoomers tend to work the hamstring and up kick etc (someone please correct me if I am wrong). I love to kick in streamline on my back with the alphas. Other reasons I like them is they're flexible and make me feel more natural on the kick and they're very soft on the feet. I'm keen to get Chris' insight too!
