These are the most basic fins; a pair of simple stiff plastic, composite, or rubber blades that work as extensions of the feet while kicking. Some paddle fins have channels and grooves to improve power and efficiency

In the past (around 1960) mostly made of black or blue rubber and with a triangular blade, today it’s usually an elongated blade on colored plastic with streamline channels. This type of fin is often used in Snorkeling and Scuba Diving.

The stiffness of the blade depends on your training conditon. As you progress in fin swimming your muscles become stronger. It#s not always that the harder blade is the better choice. A lot of professional freediver use soft fins for training and competion.
