Leaderfins Maintenance & Warranty Guide

Leaderfins Use, Maintenance and Warranty Guide


Leadefins fins and monofins are some of the most advanced fins in the world! Offering unmatched comfort, resilience and durability, Leaderfins are the fins of choice for professional and recreational divers and finswimmers alike. 


Below you will find a few important tips and recommendations regarding the appropriate maintenance and use of your new Leaderfins. Please note that these recommendations constitute the terms of use for your Leaderfins product.



Getting the fins / monofin on


• Moisten the fin's foot pockets thoroughly in water. Make sure that water gets inside the foot pockets.


• Moisten your feet / your neoprene socks with water.


• For tight fitting foot pockets (monofins, finswimming fins etc.), lather your feet / your neoprene socks with some soap.


• Now you are ready to put your fins / monofin on!



Make sure to avoid


• Entering the water - fins first.


• Pushing off the surface with the edge or tip of the fins


• Hitting sharp / hard objects underwater. The blade's tip is especially vulnerable to this kind of damage.



Swimming / diving with your monofin

 

• Make sure to use proper swimming technique (dolphin style), with both of your legs working synchronously.


• Enter the water properly, do not jump in the water - monofin first. A powerful impact of the monofin against the starting platform or the water surface may cause damage to the fin's blade.


• In a pool, make sure to perform the turn properly - with both legs pushing off the pool wall synchronously.



Leaderfins products are durable but not indestructible. Despite the fact that our high-tech materials are resistant to scratches, Leaderfins products should be handled with care. It is not recommended to drop them and expose to strong shocks. Strong impact can damage the material.
