Freediving Fins X-Wing Apnea S EU 40-41-UK 6,5-7,5-USA 7-8 Mares 420417MED040

Description:

The Mares X-Wing Apnea S is a short-blade freediving fin engineered for apnea and depth hunting where agility and efficient kicks matter. Its blade is manufactured from pre-impregnated fiberglass with variable thickness and parabolic deflection to deliver responsive energy transfer, controlled flex and high propulsion with a medium kicking frequency. The blade’s 19.0 cm width, 61.3 cm length and 30° inclination from the foot pocket optimize stroke ergonomics for reduced leg fatigue and a comfortable, powerful kick. Lateral profiles with variable height enhance channel-thrust effects and improve directional stability in each stroke. The polygonal black-and-white design improves depth recognition while the moderately rigid blade option balances power and control for a wide range of freedivers. Designed to be worn also without socks and equipped with an interchangeable shovel, the X-Wing Apnea S adapts to different preferences and conditions.

Recommended Use:

Ideal for freediving and apnea enthusiasts from intermediate to advanced levels who want a short-blade setup with responsive performance and reduced fatigue. Best suited for freediving, spearfishing and dynamic apnea in open water or reef environments where maneuverability and quick finning are advantageous. Performs well in calm to moderate current conditions; the moderate stiffness and channel-thrust design aid propulsion without excessive effort. Pair with thin neoprene socks or go barefoot depending on fit preference; the interchangeable shovel allows tuning of blade feel for specific training or hunting sessions.
