G'day guys, im needing some help with a project of mine for a friend, he's gotten me to make up a few test sets of free diving flippers, ive pretty much copied a professional set from him, ive gotten the tapper (thin at one end thick at the other) and thickness (1mm to 2mm) correct but I still can't get near the flexability as the professional set, wondering if theres a additive or something i can mix with my infusion resin to make it more flexible as theres seems stupidly flexible, i was also thinking maybe i go away from just using 2x2 twill carbon and maybe add in some unidirectional carbon? Any help will be much appreciated 👍

I cant actually find you on Facebook. What is the exact spelling? Carbonworkx? 
There are a few "carbon works" 

I am considering somethin similiar so we can talk. I can send you my private fb profile in private message. 

Azzaw, that is not really bending as commercial flippers bend. At least couple of them that I tried, looks it could be stiff in water.
