Freediving Fins X-Wing Apnea M EU 42-43-UK 8-9-USA 8,5-9,5 Mares 420416MED042

Description:

The Mares X-Wing Apnea freediving fins are engineered for serious apnea and freediving use, delivering powerful, efficient propulsion with minimal effort. The blade is manufactured from pre-impregnated fiberglass layers with variable thickness and a parabolic deflection profile to convert each kick into forward thrust while maintaining precise control. At 69.3 cm long and 19.0 cm wide, the extended blade and 30° blade-to-pocket inclination optimize stroke length and efficiency for medium kick amplitude. Variable-height side profiles act as channels to focus and enhance thrust while increasing durability for use around rocks and boulders. The comfortable, anatomically shaped foot pocket is designed to be worn with or without socks and the blade is interchangeable so you can select soft or medium stiffness to match diver weight and technique. A distinctive blue polygon blade pattern improves visibility at depth, making the X-Wing Apnea both a high-performance and practical choice for freedivers.
