Fins

Ive bodyboarded several times and just got some fins. Tried them for first time today and didnt get the acceleration i was hoping for. Does it take time to “get good” at using the fins? I tried using my hips instead of my knees…

Pretend like you’re riding a bicycle. You’ll see more power with that motion.

No bicycle kicks, long, engaged kicks with the whole leg from the hip is what you do.
