I am fast when it comes to fins-- I am faster than anyone in my lane, and can easily keep up with everyone in the next faster lane, both from a speed and endurance perspective. Unfortunately, when it comes to kicking without fins (with a board), I am sloooooooow and I peter out easily. It's so odd to me because it would seem that even though fins are faster, you should be able to keep up with the same people when not wearing fins as you do when wearing fins (if that makes sense). What does this mean? I would appreciate any insight.
P.S.-- I will check out Ande's "Help My Flutter Kick is Terrible" tips as well-- just trying to figure out what my problem could be.

I am a semi professional kicker by masters standards.
I saw two kids consistently go under 40.00 in LCM 50 kicks with a board last week. They did 20 50's on 1:30 decend 1-4. Typically just over 40 on # 3 and under 40 on # 4. Their easy ones were in the high 40's. On #20 both went under 36. Curious how this stands by your standards: All out with a minute rest before hand I can break 40 in a 50 LCM. But I would need 10 minutes warm down to do it again.
