Freediving Fins X-Wing Short Blue-Blue EU 42-43-UK 8-9-USA 8,5-9,5 Mares 420421042BLBL

Description:

The Mares X-Wing Short freediving fins are purpose-built to extend the leg and maximize propulsion for freediving, extended surface swims and lightweight spearfishing. Constructed with advanced injection molding and a tapered elastomer blade, they combine variable thickness zones for stiffness where you need power and softness where you need flex. A 30° blade inclination makes the fin a natural continuation of the leg, reducing effort and surface fatigue while improving kick efficiency. The V-tip profile minimizes lateral slippage and improves directional stability on each stroke. The fin pairs with soft, comfortable X-Wing Colored foot pockets (same color) for excellent power transmission and long-session comfort; they are also designed to be used without neoprene socks if preferred. Blue versions offer a softer blade than the Pro model, making them especially suited to extended surface work and lighter divers.

Key Features:

• Tapered high-quality elastomer blade engineered for agility and responsive performance
• Complex injection printing creates variable thickness similar to carbon/fiberglass blades for targeted stiffness and elasticity
• Blade dimensions: 613 mm length × 180 mm width for balanced thrust and maneuverability
• 30° blade inclination for efficient energy transfer and reduced surface fatigue
• V-tip design prevents side-to-side slipping and improves kick stability
• Blue version is ~25% softer than X-Wing Pro for gentler loading and longer surface swims
• Interchangeable fin blade for easy replacement or upgrades
• Performance-engineered foot pocket in soft material for optimal foot-to-blade power transmission
• Designed to be worn without neoprene socks (compatible with neoprene booties if preferred)
• Suitable for freedivers, spearfishers and lightweight divers seeking comfort and endurance
