Are carbon fins worth it?
Are carbon fins worth it?
Carbon fins are a great choice for open water and performance freediving. As long as you don’t toot to close to hard objects that might damage your fin blades.
Are plastic fins good?
With plastic fins being durable, they have the disadvantage of being heavier, tiring your legs more on your dive. Carbon fins are lighter and more reactive than plastics, allowing you to conserve more energy and oxygen while still going deeper. These fins tend to be more expensive compared to plastic.
Are fiberglass fins better than plastic?
The properties of fiberglass combined with epoxy resins give a far more responsive blade than plastic and this blade type is an excellent choice for both shore entries and boat diving. They perform well in surf and when swimming against strong currents and tend to be a tough blade that can last the diver a long time.
Are Leaderfins any good?
Leaderfins is professional and very responsive! They helped me find the right fit for my feet. If this helps go one shoe size smaller than what you normally wear. Highly recommended and super comfortable too!
What freediving fins should I get?
Super soft and soft fins are recommended for most freedivers. Smaller freedivers under 60kg might consider getting super soft blades if that is an option, otherwise soft blades are a great choice for almost everyone.
How long should fins be for spearfishing?
about 31-38 inches
Standard freediving fins measure about 31-38 inches (79-97 cm), excluding the foot pocket. Such long blades displace more water per kick, which means that the diver can propel him/herself through the water rapidly, covering more distance using less time, oxygen and energy.
Where are Leaderfins made?
We ship from Estonia. Production time 5-7 days + 3-5 days for shipping. The blade is made from a high quality mixture of epoxy resin and carbon fibre.
What are carbon fins?
Carbon fiber fins are universally accepted as the best performing fins for spearfishing and freediving. The manufacturing process and materials (carbon fiber and resin) used in the production of carbon blades, must result in blades that are consistent in stiffness and flex characteristics, and most importantly durable.
