Hi, thanx for sharing your experience about these fins:) I play uw-rugby and have until now used mares fins, which I fell is eating up a lot of power... I'm about to buy Some Najade fins and was looking at the UW or the iron but I can understand that you recommend the Sprint ones, what about those called "speed"?
When Najades first entered the scene one of our fins gurus Mr Benson Taylor did some research and testing with the different models and his verdict was Sprints are best for outright acceleration and speed for our sport. The Speed fins I think perhaps have some advantages over a long race? But we worry about basically speed/acceleration over 3m-5m, makes the biggest difference for us. I'm sure any of the Najade models Sprint/Speed/Uw/Iron would be a lot better than Mares Quattro... the angle of the foot is more streamlined, more natural, they are lighter on the foot, better agility. Every player is different and not everyone is the same, this is just my opinion of course
@@atapene ok, thanks, that's great to know:) But what about the difference of how you put them on, I see that people wants to wear them upside down, is that a must?
@@carstenchristensen9833 you can wear them 2 ways, one way is a lot more powerful than the other way. Basically all underwater hockey players use them in the power mode ("upside down")
hello Can you give advice on how to put the bifin on which side is up? because my son Wear it and it hurts a lot If there is a photo of wearing it would be great. Best regrads Sawet from Thailand
Having the fin the normal way on your feet gives you more comfort, it is good for diving and casual swimming, but having it upside down clearly makes the fin faster, as all the competitive players and fin swimmers do it that way.
Have you maybe tried the socks they also sell? Those are designed to give you a better fit in the fins and you can also generate more power, while having more comfort.
I haven't tried it but they are amazing for bodysurfing? These are basically the fastest and most manouvreable fins you can get in a small size and they are very difficult to kick off so I'm sure they'd be almost perfectly suited to it (I'm the OP, posting from wrong account)
I've used them many times for body boarding, and I like it a lot but you have to be used to swimming with them otherwise you'll get injuries very fast.
Great tutorial.

@@atapene thanx for the help man, I looking much forward to getting rid of my Mares! 😃
Last question, so do you like the murena fins better than the najade?

hey i just got some najades and i feel a lot of discomfort on my left foot around the big toe, any tips?

Will they be good for bodyboarding?
