I am 177cm tall and 80kg, but I have extra fat. Normally I should be around 75kg (mabey a bit less). I am thinking of getting 80cm or 70cm fins pure carbon with the protective film to preserve the design. The angle I will choose will be 20 degrees and the foot pocket I will choose will be the forza. (my feet are 27.5cm so I think the 43-44 size will be good with 2mm socks). I will use them for freediving mainly, I don't care that much about surface swimming. My leg power is normal (not too strong but not weak either). So I am scared that if I get the soft they may be too soft and not very reactive, and that if I get the medium they might be too stiff and tiring on my feet. Could you please help me out and give me a suggestion of what stiffness is best to buy for my case?
Hi guys!!! I have a question for you. I just bought a pair of short blades (60cm long). They are pure carbon fins blades from Leaderfins. I have 76 kilos and I was recommended to get medium stiffness to use for recreational freediving and spearfishing. I found the blades way too hard. This is normal when the blades are shorter?
no , but you are small guy for that , you need soft ones in reality . only way you can use those are maybe for power swimming , try few weeks of strenghtening legs with swimming with those , just short bursts of swimming 10-30 seconds . So leave them for training purpose , swimming sprints . For long spearfishing use , switch to soft blade .
I am really in the middle to chose between a soft and a medium stiffness. I'm currently 73kg. Everyone says I should go Medium because I'm a Spearo but I tried a Medium fins from a friend and thought they were too hard for me but it's because I'm used to plastic fins which are very soft and not responsive. he said I would get used to it.. what do you guys think?
Some say it marginally affects effectiveness (hydrodynamics?). But Leaderfins writes: «The addition of Anti-Scratch blade protection does not affect the stiffness of the blades or their overall performance.»
I am already waiting for my pure carbon fins to arrive. But I’m worried because I read somewhere that fiberglass is stronger than pure carbon. 🥺 mostly, I’ll be diving along coral reefs. Would i be safe from breakage due to accidental striking in stones or corals?
can you make a review how hard or soft the hard, medium, soft fin? so we can choose what's best to use.. me, I have strong kick, so my idea is medium or hard fin..but not sure, how hard the medium fin, or how hard the hard fin..tnx

I've been using medium/hard fiberglass Spearmasters, and just switched to soft DiveR. I have say, I think I get as much or more propulsion for the amount of effort from the soft DiveR's. I've only used them once so far, but they really feel good. I haven't been diving for months and didn't cramp up. If I had used my Spearmasters, I probably would have cramped. I think the soft fin is more efficient.
I bought the pure carbon ones and not only are beautiful but they’re sooo comfortable ! I’m in love with them ..

I weight 110 pounds, but I am rather athletic. I will be swimming in currents, should I get super soft or soft?

Why do they put the carbon fibre which is more easier damaged on the outside and the stronger fibreglass on the inside?
Carbon fiber is harder to brake then fiberglass. Also Carbon fiber is faster then fiberglass.
Thanks for the video. Is carbon fiber as fragile as pure carbon?
Thanks for review. No, its not :)
Carbon fiber is harder brake then pure carbon
I’m 95kg amd fairly athletic, I snowboard all winter so I’m pretty strong Med is the way to got right?

Its depends on your swimming skills, if you do by classis you can easy go soft, If you need compensate your skills, then go medium. Im 75 using soft
75 kg have to use soft?
Is the scratch protective film worth it? Will it make the fins less efficient?
Its worth it, if you spearfish in rocks, you willnt damage them. But fins becomes less efficient, yes.
Thank you for the reply!

Buy plastic fins for those dives .. SEAC, Cressi Gara or something like that, these fins are better suited for “cleaner” environment..

Здравствуйте лопости идут с отверстиями или надо самому сверлить?
Нужно самому сверлить под калоши, у разных калош в разных местах дырки

@@ГрязныйГарри-д8о Cогласен, что если просверлить дырки, подойдут ко многим, но когда дырок нет, подойдут еще к большему количеству :))
what about extra soft? Is it for less than 75kg people?
Extra soft normally for +40-60 kg
Is this Maksim Merkuri?
No, its not Maksim

Its depends on many factors, how good is you technique, what is your personal preferences, how strong you are, what weight you have.
I've been using medium/hard fiberglass Spearmasters, and just switched to soft DiveR. I have say, I think I get as much or more propulsion for the amount of effort from the soft DiveR's. I've only used them once so far, but they really feel good. I haven't been diving for months and didn't cramp up. If I had used my Spearmasters, I probably would have cramped.
