60kg is 132lbs

Shootz!

Really? It's modular. 3.5ft 4ft 5.5ft 6.5ft 7.5ft 8.5ft 9.5ft to infinity and beyond!!!! Basically you have a 2 ft and 3ft section to work with so the possibilities are limitless but Brah, over 9 ft is a bit loco.

Yes. Alchemy and Leaderfin

@@konafreediversreviews1175 Leaderfins Pure Carbon Fin Blades come in 20 and 33 degrees options. Will 33 degrees fit properly into BM-30 pockets, which is 30 degrees, right?

I just installed Leaderfins Ice Fiberglass 33 degrees Blades onto my SEAC BM30 foot pockets. Standard 80 cm blades are slightly longer than original/stock blades.

Depends. How's your freediving ability?

Glad you like them! Medium is too stiff for most divers

Does it? Do you leave it in the sun? It is 9 bucks . . .

Yes they work

We stopped selling them so can't specifically comment but we started having issues with their custom suits a while back. I think they got overwhelmed. for stock suits we really like SEAC & Cressi but of course it depends on so many different factors.

We stopped carrying them. There's much better suits for less

@@konafreediversreviews1175 Can you tell me what brands you actually like and will vouch for?

This line is for attaching to your belt or leaving anchored to the bottom. Wouldn't attach it to a pole spear.

@@konafreediversreviews1175I mean no disrespect but you did say at the end of the video that you can attach it to your gun, I would imagine that apply to pole spears Is there something one would attach to a pole spear?

@@konafreediversreviews1175I dropped my spear not long ago shore diving and recovered it quick enough but isn’t it similar tying to your belt and tying to your polespeart band as long as you have a good purchase on the polespear

Saweet! How do you like it?

Love it

I took my phone and housing to a spring fed lake, and got some good photos and video. Works great.

Our pleasure! Feel free to give us a call if you have any more questions.

Aloha Brannon. This case will fit many different phone models including Android phones (support was added last year). It's future proof.

The Turbo model uses the new footpockets which have shorter tendons. We only use/carry the short tendon pockets in the shop now and use them on many of our fin builds. This is the newest trend in freediving fins.

@@konafreediversreviews1175 Thank you! I actually ended up buying SEAC BM-30 fins after trying on different fins. SEAC BM-30's pocket fits my feet the best.

Ha

Depends. What's your height and weight? BM30 are softer. Angle is a bit much for mist people unless your have difficulty pointing your toes. For most people the BM-30 is better because they are softer but it depends on your leg strength. The more kicking you have to do the softer the fins you want.

Pure carbon is just that. Carbon fiber is a fiberglass layer sandwiched between two carbon fiber layers. We would not recommend this second version since mixing materials has no real benefit and results in a worse performing carbon blade with the lower durability of the fiberglass material.

Great! How did it work for you?

Aloha John. Just fyi while these suits looks great we've had issues with cut and durability. I would not recommend them.

There are so many different fin brands in this world with new ones coming and going. We've sold hundreds of leaderfins and alchemy's at this point. We've occasionally tried other brands but nothing matches the durability and price to performance of these two brands. So you can try some new brand, but we can't vouch for them. What makes you consider this brand over the others?

Yes

@@konafreediversreviews1175 thanks 🤙

Yes. We sell the super bullet. it is very popular for local spearfisherman. Is it a great snorkel for people who like purge valves

oops! www.konafreedivers.com

Sorry we don't sell bestdive currently. You can visit their US site directly. www.bestdiveproducts.com/

Haha! OK!

Plastic! But you can swap blades for carbons later if you wish to upgrade.

One of the few pipe guns without one.

You're welcome! So happy to hear it. Thanks for the props!

If you open up the velcro pouch on the bottom you should be able to dig around and find an inflator valve. It may not be obvious upon first opening it up but it's in there!

@@konafreediversreviews1175 Thanks a bunch buddy! Safe diving for all! 🙏

Excellent. Glad to hear they stand up in real world use! Leaderfins in general seem to be quite durable for inexpensive blades.

You may be overweighted? Can you float on the surface with a full breath and keep your head out of the water without kicking? Another thing is your fins may be too stiff. Are you saying it's hard to kick (the blades are too stiff)?

Cool. Of the 5,763 different freediving blades available on the market which one is your favorite and why? Also what is your authority on the topic? How many have you sold to the public and how many came back broken as a percentage of those you've sold?

What?

@@konafreediversreviews1175 cringe

We have not tried them. They seem more expensive and the alchemy are already pretty great. Alchemy has been around a long time and we've sold a lot so we know they are durable and they are a good stiffness level. What is making you consider the carbonio's? Just from what we see of them they look like they have a fair amount of resin on them. This is a common issue and makes fins too stiff. Based on this video (link below) they appear too stiff for him and he's using the medium stiffness (his body is rotating and he has pigeon toe). This is common as most carbon blades are too stiff. The challenge is in using the right amount of carbon and the least amount of resin possible without breaking. The molchanovs are a good stiffness level and tend to be much less stiff in general and even less stiff than the alchemy's but they break a lot. We sold them for a little while and Molchanov's wouldn't cover them under warranty so we stopped carrying them. Definitely would NOT recoommend molchanovs. There's a reason we sell achemy's. We have sold many hundreds of carbon blades at this point and there's nothing wrong with the alchemy's so why try to fix what's not broken? th-cam.com/video/EPE7UHG2REs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PVxVN0tvGwjYfCLl

I got an update from my fin installation Guru (Chris Funada @moistmaninnis). He says they are fine. They only work with pathos and proprietary footpockets so that's a huge red flag out of the gete.

@@konafreediversreviews1175 gft force are very flexible they look liké very high quality fins. They présent them liké diffèrent Kind of technologie nano. I Just ordered before 2 weeks with 24°, there is option with 32° also , and waiting to try them. I pose you that question bcs I hesitated between Alchemy and Gft. Thanks for your Kind réponse.

@@konafreediversreviews1175 thank you for your answer. GFT looks great as does Alchemy. I ordered them a few weeks ago and expect them to arrive soon. I asked that question because I was hesitating between Alchemy and GFT...so I went to GFT...time will tell. Thanks

They are probably a bit less stiff? The Deep Anea are quite stiff. The deep apnea might be a bit higher quality construction but if you lose one of these they are cheap to replace. Plus the deep apnea are probably way too stiff for you.

What are the + and - if you don't mind sharing? Also, have you seen they've released lenses for it? www.sealife-cameras.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/SL053-6_15cm-Wide-Angle-Dome-Lens.pdf

The foot pocket that fits your feet is the best. Most will work with these blades

It's not a matter of what footpocket fits on the blade. It's more important that the pocket fits your foot. Many pockets fit these blades.

How much did you pay? and where'd you buy it?

Awesome. Good luck. You can check out our video about spearfishin tips and tricks. th-cam.com/video/Q4lFgW82k_U/w-d-xo.html
