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.

TUSA X-pert Zoom Z3 Fins
Model No. SF-15
Regular Price: $189.00
Our Price: $159.99

Over 5 years of research and development brought the highly regarded and best-selling SF-8 X-Pert Zoom split fin to market in 2003.  TUSA redefines the fin market again with the introduction of the SF-15 X-Pert Zoom Z3 for 2009.  

The SF-15 further improves upon the performance, features and design of the SF-8 with the incorporation of 3 materials, 10% longer blade length, enhanced propeller-fin technology, reinforced blade rails and optimized blade scoops.  These new features along with TUSA's patented 27 degree Angled Blade Design and EZ strap buckle system make the SF-15 THE fin for divers.

TUSA's Angled Blade Design:
When using the standard traditional blade fin, with the leg completely extended, there remains an angle of 27 degrees between the heel and the foot and the calf of the leg, causing a 10% loss of propulsion. Because the fin is angled below the body, during the kick phase, the body is pushed forward and down, instead of straight ahead.  With the SF-15 fin, that 27 degree angle has been designed into the fin.  This means that 100% of the energy expended during the kick phase is directed toward the propulsion of the diver. TUSA developed a robot that can replicate the kick-cycle and movement of a human's leg.  The robot is able to mimic the motion of a human exactly and relay accurate data.  TUSA has been able to analyze the performance of the fins under several conditions. The robot is able to simulate swimming through the water using kick variations, such as a large scissor kick with a slow repetition and vice versa.  Using the latest technology, this robot measures the energy expended during the kick and the propulsive force that is created using that energy.  To achieve maximum performance from this fin, use a small bent-knee kick with a light rhythm. This creates less strain on the leg muscles compared with traditional fins, reducing the diver's fatigue and subsequent air consumption.

• Three material design for increased performance compared to standard split fins
• Patented 27 degree Angled Blade Design
• Enhanced propeller-fin technology optimizes efficiency
• Multi-compound foot pocket increases power transfer to the fin blade
• Reinforced side-rails decrease blade separation increasing stability and kick-style versatility
• Optimized blade scoops increase water channeling
• Innovative hydrofoil design that produces forward motion (propulsion) with less effort
• 10% longer blade than SF-8 for enhanced propeller effect
• TUSA patented EZ  and buckle system

Available in 3 Colors - Black, Cobalt Blue, and Metallic Red.  Select size and color at checkout.
