Doug, Was this to come in through surf? Or some other circumstance? When I was told about using flippers it was in the context of having to land through large surf by hanging on to the back of the boat and swimming in. I was told that this was a method used by the armed services - in your opinion is this a viable option? Its not something I would do for fun but I can well imagine having to consider it.
