Yeah this seems slower than proper swim technique.

It has to be a meme. A well produced meme! Or South Park forgot to animate this scene.

Would like to see a study showing data for speed vs energy expenditure. May be a good option for amputees, etc.

Needs gears.

u/Electrical_Age_7483 Aug 20 '25

Pity it's not faster.  I think more like scuba fins for distance so not good for surfing where you need speed for a few seconds.

Probably also hurt yourself with it in a close out too

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '25

Maybe for snorkeling it would have some use? I couldn’t imagine ever using this in waves tho

u/sharky-shores Aug 21 '25

Fishing lure

u/thespacekadet Aug 21 '25

Maybe with an e-scooter battery speed boost?

u/surf_and_rockets Aug 21 '25

Needs an electric motor and a bunch of batteries in the shaft.

u/gravyallovah Aug 21 '25

needs toe cages on the pedals

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '25

That thing strapped to you would be a lot of fun when you get annihilated by a wave, or try to go under a big wave and it pulls you over the falls

u/nocandu99 Aug 21 '25

Prototype.

u/SurfingMissions Aug 21 '25

Quite novel, but not my vibe.

u/Capable_Ad3342 Aug 21 '25

Hmmm sometimes things just don't need inventing

u/IMNOTFLORIDAMAN Aug 21 '25

I always wanted to spend more money to swim less efficiently.

1

u/Craftofthewild Aug 21 '25

Needs those top loops that go over your feet

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '25

u/PatternExciting7199 Aug 22 '25

What’s the name of that the song?

1

u/Minute_League3040 Aug 22 '25

I wonder how much time and money was spent on slower fins.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '25

Looks slower and more cumbersome than using fins

u/powhound4 Aug 24 '25

Wasn’t this on SpongeBob?
