Nearly all my diving is done from shore and most of the time I enter the water and put on my fins once in. By facing the waves I can better gauge the waves themselves and feel like I have more control as I get in. Once I'm between waist and mid-chest level is where I prefer to put on my fins.
Now it's important to note I use Force Fins Pro Model and utilize the bungee cord strap for easy & quick removal and placement on my feet. If the surf is really big, I generally just pass knowing there will be another day to go diving.
