Split fins: why not DIR?

[Inspirationdiver]

I really like my Mares Volo fins. They are the hinge fins. Its a paddle fin that bends in the middle of the fin. They work great for frog kicking and other modified types of kicking. The hinge only flexes one way so you don't lose any power when frog kicking. They also are much easier to flutter kick with than standard paddle fins. I think they're the best of both worlds. The buckles on them are a little fragile though. Many of the people I know that use them have replaced the buckle with something more standard.
