Freediving Fins X-Wing Apnea M EU 46-47-UK 11,5-12-USA 12-13 Mares 420416MED046

Description:

The Mares X-Wing Apnea freediving fins are long, high-performance blades engineered for freediving and apnea where efficient propulsion and durability matter. The blade is constructed from pre-impregnated fiberglass layers with variable thickness and a parabolic deflection profile to deliver powerful, progressive thrust with reduced effort and fatigue. Variable-height side profiles optimize flexibility and create a channel-thrust effect that concentrates water flow for improved forward drive. With a 30° inclination from the foot pocket and a 69.3 cm blade length, these fins are designed for a medium kick width and deep-water propulsion while remaining usable in rocky or boulder-strewn environments. The comfortable foot pocket is suitable to wear without socks (though neoprene booties can be used) and the interchangeable blade design adds versatility and ease of maintenance. This SKU (MED) features a medium-stiff blade suited to many adult freedivers; a soft blade option is also available to match diver weight and technique.
