Wayne, sincerely thank you so much not only for this video but for all the tips and reviews on your other vids. You are really helpful in your advice and the knowledge is obvious. Cheers from NZ
Thanks Wayne. Good stuff. One question: how does a ‘dolphin’ kick compare to the ‘scissor’ kick, efficiency-wise? Obviously there’s some benefit, otherwise there wouldn’t be monofins. Now, ‘dolphin’ kick with bifins is going to be a little less efficient than with monofins. But, does bifin dolphin kick offer advantages over bifin scissor kick? You see almost no one doing the bifin dolphin kick. Why?
I am 5'8" 175, pretty athletic. It sounds like with proper technique a softer fin would really work out better. I seem to fall right on the edge of recommendations for stiffness with the various brands. Thoughts?
Im about the same. It depends on the brand and sometimes the model.. Just got the C4 400 in the vid and I'm glad I got the medium in the end. They seem soft to me but weirdly work using the videos advice.
Noicceee. Heading up to Cairns towards the end of this year and I am ecstatic to know it's a great area to dive. Still just amateur level at best so this vid helps a lot.
Great and detailed explanation. I am 6'3" / 195# and use soft carbon fins for spearfishing. Tried stiffer blades, prefer the softer ones. Works very well for me till 100ft depth. Thanks for sharing your experience Wayne. Great stuff you share! ><000*>
Wayne, just watched this video because I had slight samba spearing and someone recommended to start doing hook breaths ect as good practice. The way you explained it and the info given is perfect. Please keep up the videos. I’ll be definitely adopting this into my spearing routine. Legend. Thanks
Very important topic - without hook breaths I would have been in trouble probably a couple of times. And it is true to do it always after each dive - even if it was a short and shallow dive. Keep it going brother!
Its good to have older guys like you around i wish u were my uncle, 😂we would be spearfishing everyday. I'm a passionate diver and I've been diving since I was 10 so my dive buddies are about your age now. 😆😅 Cheers to all spearos out there. 🍻🍻🍻🍻🥂🐟🐬🐋🐳🦈🐠🐡🐙
Can you address foot cramps while finning? Is it caused by poor technique, poor conditioning, poor hydration? Any dry land training exercises for the foot/legs you recommend? The bottom of my foot is usually what cramps up.
Wayne your a great teacher. Thanks. Question: If this is a daily routine for me (training for a 3 week trip, I dont live in a place i can dive everyday😒) how many times per "set" or times per day do you think I should do?
We’re so lucky to have someone like yourself Wayne giving us tips and advice like you do. Hearing your comments regarding Ant has made me even more determined to improve at his pool training nights. Thanks
Some good thoughts behind this wayne, the day I got my watch was the day I realised I had been lucky with my decisions made in the past. Was doing no where near double as a minimum, surface interval is setup 3x my average dive time now and I feel my dives are much easier on my lungs after a dive sesh now.
I just got some c4 minimals because I had really heavy and long dive fins before them, and I just seen these tips and tricks for proper usage of the carbon fins, thank you!
@@Mlj247 honestly I’d get stiffer fins if u do get any kind of c4 fins the minimals feel too flimsy to me u don’t get a ton of thrust out of them mind you I’m 6’2” 180lbs in a yazbeck wet suit if that makes any difference but I do use like 10lbs of weight because I’m so buoyant
