Hello Cam,

Have you tried working on your trim to avoid the ankle-weights.
When you have ankle-weights on, you put a huge amount of energy
into accelerating and decelerating the weights with each fin
stroke.  The net effect is increased fatigue, greater drag, and
higher SAC rates.  What wings and backplate do you use?  Maybe
they're not optimally trimmed and are causing your 'floaty feet'.
