This is a really cool idea and I'd try it. But also the video was kind of underwhelming and they look like huge nerds.

Yep, that doesn't look faster than a pair of fins or even a monofin.

It might not be faster, it might not look cooler, but it is relatively inconvenient.

Lmao yeah the only thing it looks good for is making my balls sore

I don't think they really understand that there isn't much market for swimming fast, but there is a good market for swimming/snorkeling lazy, which is where this may actually exist as a product.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
