there are lots of things that will effect the amount that you cramp
1) fitness
2) hydration
3) potassium and other electrolytes
4) kicking techique
5) fin design

generally in that priority order. if you make the adjustments in that order you should hopefully find the solution for you. most people find it easier to try different fins than it is to get in better shape and fix all the other issues. Although eating bannanas and drinking lots of Gatorade will help it will not fix the underlaying issues of poor technique and strength (or lack thereof).


if you are looking for a recommendation on the best anti-cramp fins out there, the general recommendation is to get and use ForceFins. Funny looking or not, they rock.
