OK, fine, technically this kickboard is for kids. But no one needs a raft to stay afloat when kicking. A little buoyancy goes a long way... and smaller kickboards are easier do to flip turns with. "Flip turns when kicking?" you say. That's right: as you approach the wall just fold your arms (at the shoulders) and the board straight toward your waist and do your normal flip turn. And don't panic in the middle, it's exactly the same motion. Always a crowd pleaser. Just like a bubble-gum pink kickboard.
