Has anyone here ever tried swimming/kicking with the scuba style fins that are around 25" - 30" ??? ie Cressi 2000's?
Either for fun or training. Cressi claims that one can swim at eight knots with them for a short period of time.

I regularly use a monofin. But it's not very long; it's designed especially for kicking. It's the Finis shooter MF, 20 by 18 inches, www.swimoutlet.com/.../2181.htm. With my toy, I've kicked 20 seconds for 50 yards and 23 for 50 meters (long course). The speed is super fun! :)
Awesome!!! with lcm coming up I want to look at ways of grinding through it.
I borrowed someone's scuba fins and was swimming (cruising) 8 second 25's and the light went on. Initially, I started the first 25 and in the first 5 yards i cramped up because i was trying to kick like i had zoomers on. once i modified my kick i couldn't believe the speed.
My shoulder is sore from 68 miles of swimming in January. I need to kick!
