Customer Reviews
These are great.
I ordered these with soft blades. I am, really happy. I use them for spearfishing, I weigh 75 kg and I am 182 cm tall
I had ordered a pair of fiberglass fins, 70 cm blades, Forza foot pockets (I had ordered 10 cm shorter so they could fit in a regular travel bag).
But I am much happier with these 80 cm length and soft. I feel less strain on the ankle and I can still swim against the current near inlets when the tide is changing.
With plastic fins it would be much harder or not possible.
Anyway initially I was advised to go for medium by customer service, but spear fishing and swimming for a couple off hours on the surface I find the soft better.
I am not sure if the difference between the 2 sets of fins is due more to the fiberglass vs carbon+fiberglass or medium vs soft blades.
The forza foot pockets are snug and very comfortable. True to size up to 3mm socks (easier to put on with 1.5mm socks), with 5mm socks I would need to size up.
Anyway very happy, feel a very good upgrade from plastic composite fins (I had the Cressi gara modular Nery, since I got these sold them),
Also lighter weight than plastic.
Freediver shop shipping is very fast to NY, USA. shipping is a bit expensive, but I got the fins well packed within a few days. And they include some spare rail clips.

Great fins
Nice and light with plenty of power
First look
The fins are well made, elegant and have some comfortable foot pockets. I wish I had tried them in open water, but unfortunately I haven’t had an opportunity to go just yet. So, I cannot comment on performance and durability in this occasion. However, I thank freediver team for the amazing finishing that this product has as well as the great communication and postage service.
