Subgear Real Carbon Fins
Subgear has the deepest diving Stereo fins in the world. William Winram wore the Carbon S1 for his last stereo fin world record, reaching a depth of 94 meters. Developed in partnership with Trygons and tested by some of the world’s best freedivers, you can expect an unbelievable performance.
“I adore the fins – great power, great feel, so light, super comfortable. My dives were far deeper and far longer and the fins literally feel like an amazing natural extension of my legs – but they are almost unnoticable.“
Julie Andersen, Founder & Executive Director, Shark Angels, Freediver and Scuba Diver
“What I discovered to be the distinctive feature of the S1 Fins was the very apparent lack of effort required – they were so light on my feet I had to check they were still there more than once! This is a great feature for a freediving fin, the embodiment of maximum propulsion for minimum effort.”
Mike Wells, freediving record-holder and freediving training director at SSI
Carbon Fibre Technology – Just like Formula 1
Carbon blades provide the best performance in freediving fins. And Subgear uses the highest available carbon fibre possible, similar to that used in Formula 1 cars and aircraft.
Increased Powerplus Comfort
The transfer of power from the body to the blade is through a single inelastic band. This band directs the energy to where it is needed and nowhere else. The feet are comfortable in the incredibly soft rubber foot pockets and the hydrodynamic shape reduces any resistance, giving them an enormous hydrodynamic advantage over the competition.
Unique Development Technic
Each component – the foot pockets, the blade and the side rails are designed individually so that each single element offers the maximum performance. The result is a push that even the beginner will not fail to notice.
The new soft foot-pocket plays no part in the blade bending. Traditionally, the rigidity of the foot-pocket rail was used to power the blade. These fins were called 100% carbon, where in fact, most of their actual elasticity and firmness originated from the rubber foot-pocket rail.
The rail piece is there only for streamlining the flow and nothing more. As a direct result, the blades are thicker and stiffer than before. The new blades do the work by themselves. Subgear claim that these are the first ever REAL fibre reinforced fins.
Shark Angel and free diver Julie Andersen had a unique and wonderful experience during one of her many freedives with the Carbon fins. Check out “The Black Swan” video here.
