TUSA Full Foot Split Fins
Model No. FF-9
Regular Price: $50.00
Our Price: $42.00

The Propelling Power
Traditional fins only use repulsive force to create propulsion. This normally means that in order to create strong propulsion, maximum effort is required, resulting in muscle fatigue not only for beginners, women, and middle-aged divers, but professionals as well. Added to which, the body moves left and right in reaction to the kicking needed to move forward, thus reducing propulsion. The SF-8 and FF-9 have blade that are split down the middle, so they take the shape shown in the diagram when kicked under water. This special blade shape creates propulsion (lift) by generating a pressure differential above and below the blade, in addition to the repulsive force created by kicking. The SF-8 and FF-9 are fins that allow all divers to create propulsion using only a small bent-knee kick, with a light rhythm.

A light kick reduces water resistance and creates less turbulence.
Traditional fins required fin-work with large strokes in order to create propulsion, since they depended solely on repulsive force. The SF-8 and FF-9 obtain propulsion not only from repulsive force but also from lift, so it works ideally with a light, rhythmic kick. In other words, a small "bent-knee kick" will bring out this fin's best performance. This makes possible a light kick that creates less burden on the legs than with traditional fins. A light kick with small strokes reduces the diver's fatigue and the amount of air consumed. Also, small strokes reduce the resistance of the water on the entire body moving forward and also create less turbulence, so propulsion is smoother.

Available in 2 Colors - Black or Cobalt Blue. Select size and color at checkout.

TUSA X-pert Zoom Fins
Model No. SF-8
Regular Price: $175.00
Our Price: $129.00

The SF-8 X-pert Zoom fin's eye-catching design is causing quite a stir in the diving world! TUSA's production technology combined with principal design by Nature's Wing's developed this unique fin. The split fin is outfitted with an innovative, angled concept. Using the human anatomy as a reference, the SF-8 fin has been designed to provide maximum propulsion with minimum exertion.

27 Tech Reasons
When using a standard flat fin, propulsion is inhibited solely by fault of design. When the leg is completely extended, there remains an angle of 27 degrees between the heel of the foot and the calf of the leg, as shown in the diagram. This 27-degree angle causes 10% of the propulsion that is produced by the kicking motion to be lost. Because the fin is angled below the body during the kick phase, the body is pushed up and forward, instead of straight ahead.

With the SF-8 fin, that 27-degree angle has been incorporated into the fin. This means that when the leg is fully extended, even though the angle exists between the foot and the calf, the fin ends up parallel to the leg. This means that 100% of the energy expended during the kicking phase is directed toward the propulsion of the diver.

  • Innovative hydrofoil design produces forward motion (lift) with less effort
  • New age elastic material with ridged reinforced double layered construction
  • Propeller-fin™ technology and super lightweight design achieve the ultimate performance with less effort
  • Angled design for maximum kick efficiency
  • TUSA Patented Easy-to-adjust strap features quick release buckles

Available in 3 Colors - Black, Cobalt Blue, and Red. (Black fin is slightly stiffer). Select size and color at checkout.
