Description
Start Point Carbon Fins are here!
Among the top carbon blades in the world, they have been used by Start Point team divers and spearfishing instructor the Frenchman for many years. We are delighted he has helped us identify such a high quality product to bring to the UK. The lightweight design reduces muscle fatigue and helps to avoid excessive kicking, enabling you to swim longer and deeper with ease.
The Start Point foot pocket are designed with maximum efficiency and comfort in mind. Made from natural pure latex rubber, produced using specially designed rubber injection machines. The 22 degree angle helps to transport the power of your kick along the blade, making these pockets the perfect pairing with our Start Point carbon blades.
Technical Details Carbon Blade:
The blades are made from graduated parabolic 100% Carbon Aero (as per aircraft standards) and manufactured using the most sophisticated method of vacuum infusion process (VIP).
The VIP method ensures the highest carbon to resin ratio up to 75% Carbon: 25% resin by weight. This results in zero trapping of bubbles in the resin and carbon, meaning you get maximum efficiency with minimum energy consumption. Leading epoxy resins are used upon very dense weaving. The overall manufacturing process takes two days.
The carbon blades are paired with Start Point foot pockets in-store.

- Soft: Up to 70 Kg
- Medium: 70-90 Kg
