Often I just use the fin farthest from them.It was the article's version of the modified flutter I have no idea about when anyone would use it: "Bend your legs up at the knees, keeping your flippers elevated. Use the same primary kick stroke, only make the motion shorter. You’ll move less from the hip and more with your fins."
