What fins do you all use with your surf mats? I'm new to matting and am looking at Yucca but the different flex options are throwing me off

Perhaps I'll have the same issue then. I have Churchill Makapuus from Costco and they were too harsh for me. Have scabs on my inner ankle bone right now from them...

Hydro fins very comfortable and less $ than most.
Fins are very unique to the person...they all fit differently... I really like my regular flex Yuccas, but would like to get the ultra softs for body surfing. The main dude at Yucca, don't know his name, has a good little video explaining the different flexes.

For a while I was using PSS Viper’s, but found that UDTs with “Greenough modifications” (http://23breaths.blogspot.com/2010/09/more-gg-udt-mods.html?m=1) worked really well. Lately, I’m quite happy with Yucca ultra soft.

body surfing fins?
Wanted to love Da Fin, have tried two pairs over the years. Great thrust and they are easy to stick in a backpack to travel with. Unfortunately they chew up the top of my foot. Everyone is different and it's true that you need to try different fins for extended go outs.
body surfing fins?
I really like my Yucca fins. I have a soft and standard and they are both amazing. I added the neoprene inside and at ankle and it is a game changer. Plus they are a rad small company who actually is active in the scene... my two cents

I appreciate everyone's answers. I found this, which seems to be a good resource. A lot of these interviews include questions about the mat surfer's quiver, which, for a lot of them, includes specific fin brand references: https://www.matsurfers.com/about-here-now
Some helpful and thought provoking info. All future fin recommendations should be accompanied by foot/toe type. Looking at feet will never be the same. Egyptian here.Surf Mats... What's the Deal?
