CRESSI Gara Modular Sprint Fins Fins

SPRINT is the latest version of the Gara Modular Impulse , a long fin that has been an industry milestone with unprecedented approval from all types of users: freedivers, spearfishermen and even scuba divers.

In this case, we propose a version with the same foot pocket and guide configuration as the Impulse but with a reduction in length to 65 cm , which also allows it to be placed in practically any equipment bag.

It is a fin with a versatile vocation , aimed especially at diving, but also at activities that require great power and acceleration capacity such as underwater hockey and rugby, rescue and first aid, competitive diving and competitive apnea training. It is also a perfectly valid fin for snorkeling and practically any underwater activity.

The advantages it brings to the diver are especially noteworthy, especially on diving trips, since it allows its use without booties with the consequent comfort, lightening of luggage and, above all, its performance in terms of energy transmission and benefits in any type of situation.

SHOVEL

New version with a high-modulus, high-reactivity polypropylene blade and a new design with variable thickness longitudinally and transversally and a new distribution of the reinforcements, which makes the bowing very progressive, canceling the tendency to skid, since the first half of the set it is of greater rigidity and the final half more flexible.

Blade with an angle of 29º against the traditional 15 to 21º. This angulation allows a kick with the foot in a completely relaxed position with hardly any force on the instep and calves to align the blade with the leg. This makes the flapping smooth and comfortable but highly effective, both for surface movements and to overcome situations of great resistance to progress such as ascent from the bottom, strong seas or the beginning of the descent with adjusted ballast.

The design of the end of the blade has a slight narrowing and two integrated fins in subtle thermoplastic rubber. This characteristic, together with the calculated progression of the flexing arc of the blade, makes the stability of the Sprint flapping perfect.

FOOTPOCKET

New design of the horns of the foot pocket with reduced height in order to allow the adaptation of blades at any angle, not interfering with the reactivity of the blade and allowing a greater arc to the blade.

Foot pocket volume resulting from in-depth anatomical studies, with volumes proportional to the widening effect caused by the foot pocket depending on the size of the foot, it does not follow a fixed proportion size by size since proportionally a small foot fattens much more than a large one when put on booties

Combine two materials:

A thermoplastic rubber with 75º shore hardness , flexible but inelastic and very resistant, applied to the nerves, the entire sole of the foot pocket and the exclusive support band on the instep intended for immediate transmission of effort without dissipating in rubbery compositions.

The rest of the foot pocket (grey area) maintains a 65º shore semi-flexible composition for optimal comfort . This material is alternately extended in the heel area to perform a non-slip function when walking on a boat or on rocks.
The instep incorporates a 2 cm wide Self adjusting band in its center , which allows a slight dilation (from 2 to 4 mm depending on size) to adapt to people with high insteps or in case of using thick pumps. The expansion has been carefully calibrated so as not to impair the transmission of energy.

The expansion has been carefully calibrated so as not to impair the transmission of energy.

It combines two materials, recalibrated in terms of hardness and elasticity to improve the comfort-energy transmission ratio :

Thermoplastic rubber with 75º shore hardness, flexible but inelastic and very resistant applied to the ribs, the entire sole of the foot pocket and the exclusive fastening band on the instep intended for immediate transmission of effort without dissipating in rubbery compositions

The rest of the foot pocket (grey area) maintains a semi-flexible shore 65º composition for optimal comfort. This material is alternately extended in the heel area to perform a non-slip function when walking on a boat or on rocks
The volume of the foot pocket has been dimensioned after in-depth anatomical studies, in such a way that the volumes are proportional to the widening effect caused by the foot pocket depending on the size of the foot, it does not follow a fixed proportion size by size since proportionally a small foot “ fattens” much more than a large one when putting on booties.

The advantages it brings to the diver are remarkable, especially on diving trips, since it allows its use without boots with the consequent comfort, lightening of luggage and, above all, its performance in terms of energy transmission and benefits in any type of situation. .

It is a very valid versatile fin for activities that require great power and acceleration capacity such as underwater hockey and rugby, rescue and first aid, competitive diving and competitive apnea training. It is also a perfectly valid fin for snorkeling and practically any underwater activity.
