Underwater Rugby bifins 500 mm length E glass fiber
Our fins allow to improve propulsion during the different actions of the game in underwater rugby. The length of the 500 series generates power and allows to reach high speeds or on the contrary to hold a static position in defense. The fins have a specific composite structure that supports torsion and flexion in all directions while maintaining maximum thrust. They are fully protected and approved for competition. T-profiles on the leading edges to ensure good guidance. Water droplet profiles on the trailing edge for protection. The E glass fiber fin gives you 30-40% more propulsion than plastic fins. You'll have much more fun playing. You can choose a branded closed-heel footpocket or a custom-made open-heel footpocket. This one frees the rotation of the ankle in all directions and thus increases the finning's amplitude and the efficiency thanks to a more precise foot positioning on the blade . Finally, it facilitates direction changes. It takes a little time to get used to it.
This fin will suit players who need to repeat long accelerations. It is slower to activate than the 450 series, but allows for greater top speed. To choose the right stiffness, it is important to take into account your body size and your level of practice. The hardness gives more power but requires more effort, with the repetition of the efforts, the muscles are very solicited. To help you, use our 'which model for me?' selector. The most experienced players can add 1 level to the recommended stiffness index. Blade breakage can occur if the blade is stuck (cannot bend) on the edge or bottom of the pool. The push-off must be done on the foot, not on the blade. Repeated push-offs on the fin will create micro-traumas on the fibers that are invisible to the naked eye and one day, while the player is finning quietly, the fin breaks.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE :
Your fibreglass or carbon blade can break :
- If the fin is stuck (the end of the fin is stuck, all the weight is on the blade and it cannot bend) => Do not push off with the blade on the bottom, the side of the pool or on the bottom of the water
- If you jump into the water with the blade parallel to the water.
