In the pool last night, I finally managed to get the backwards kick to work.
Did a whole length in reverse, in fact.
Possibly the slowest length I ever did

Congratulations, well done, amazing, what a tremendous feet of human endurance.  Your speciality certificate is on its way.

My god another usless high skill level diving gimic. Just get a redundnt pair of fins and wear them as gloves and then you can fin backwards at any time with the minimum of aquired skill.  

No doubt any DIR types out there will start going on about unnecessary equipment used to hide my obvious lack of skill but it works for me

How about jet boots straped to your arms?? You could point them left or right and move sideways too

OPK on a slightly more sensable note,

Well done M8

What fins have you got?? I have been trying with quatros but not getting any where (literaly) as yet.

Sorry to tell you this - Jetfins

It's not that it's a vastly useful skill for me. It just bugged me that I couldn't do it and those blasted DIR fanatics could

Obviously, what you want is some of these Chillcheater gloves:

Well, if it helps, the only other person in my club who can do backwards finning, does so with force fins..

Well tried it again on Saturday and today.

Managed to fin backwards both days  

Very slow, but did manage it.  Would like to try it again with Jetfins to see if it is any easier or quicker.

BTW: That was with Quattros.
