Features of SF-8

The SF-8 X-pert Zoom fin's eye-catching design is causing quite a stir in the diving world! TUSA's production technology combined with principal design by Nature's Wing's developed this unique fin. The split fin is outfitted with an innovative, angled concept. Using the human anatomy as a reference, the SF-8 fin has been designed to provide maximum propulsion with minimum exertion.

27 Tech Reasons
When using a standard flat fin, propulsion is inhibited solely by fault of design. When the leg is completely extended, there remains an angle of 27 degrees between the heel of the foot and the calf of the leg, as shown in the diagram. This 27-degree angle causes 10% of the propulsion that is produced by the kicking motion to be lost. Because the fin is angled below the body during the kick phase, the body is pushed up and forward, instead of straight ahead.

With the SF-8 fin, that 27-degree angle has been incorporated into the fin. This means that when the leg is fully extended, even though the angle exists between the foot and the calf, the fin ends up parallel to the leg. This means that 100% of the energy expended during the kicking phase is directed toward the propulsion of the diver.

After several trials using the various fins currently available on the market, TUSA has confirmed that the SF-8 X-PERT ZOOM fin outperforms them all. It provides the most propulsion (graph 1), using the least amount of energy (graph 2).
