My fins will slap the bottom if I use a full stroke but, I don't.  I short stroke the pedals when moving slow and use a longer stroke for speed.  I learned from mountain biking that you always want to leave a few degrees of bend at the knees to avoid knee stress.  Your legs should never straighten completly.

Unfortunately, I blame my genetics. I have ~36 inch inseam and I don't think I could fully stretch out in the revo even with the drive removed. I've since trained myself to stop short, but it will still slap occasionally.
My wife thinks fishing is merely guys wandering around like idiots swinging sticks in the air. Many of my trips prove how smart she really is.

Actually, I picked up on the turn it around reverse thing from the forum.  Will give it a try this weekend.

Just take it easy when you do. There's been a lot who have damaged their rudders flipping the drive.
