FINS Fins are among the most representative, not to mention indispensable, products in diving. Mares has spent over 60 years improving them with passion and innovation. The X-stream represents the culmination of these 60 years of research and development. Channel thrust, OPB, Tri-material construction, ABS buckles, and the new riddled foot pocket which eliminates the parachute effect. When kicking, water flows between the sides of the foot pocket and the boot, then stopping because it has nowhere else to go. This causes drag which reduces the efficiency of the forward propulsion. The many perforations in the X-stream’s foot pocket allow this water to escape, practically eliminating this source of energy loss. Furthermore, the material is very soft thus comfortable, with an X-shaped area of reinforced material on the top to guarantee that the power of your leg is transferred to the fin and from there to the water. As a result, the foot pocket is lighter, more comfortable yet highly efficient. X-stream is a superior fin which combines performance with weightlessness. The sensation of comfort it transmits to the diver is unbeatable. The Mares fin line comprises open heel as well as full foot fins. The new entry for 2012 is the Wave FF, the full foot sister of the Wave OH. The performance of the Wave has surprised everyone. The thrust transferred
from the large central channel of the blade and the comfort of the soft rubber foot pocket turned it into one of our best selling fins in recent years. The new full foot version is inspired in all aspects by the same features. Made in three materials with soft and comfortable foot pocket and a blade with a large center channel. Available in 6 sizes for the first year. The choice of fin is always subjective and depends on the performance you seek, the type of kick and the degree of training. The Mares range of fins covers all these possibilities. A fin with a broad and powerful blade employing the principle of the Channel Thrust, such as the Wave or Excel +, will respond with the greatest boost to your every impulse. A fin developed according to the principle of the OPB (Optimized Pivoting Blade), which optimizes the relationship between effort and performance, provides a good thrust for little effort; this is the case of the Volo Power or Volo Race. There are also timeless products, which have shaped the history of this brand and which do not need any introduction; this is the case of the fins of the Avanti family and the Superchannel. In the next pages you will find detailed information on the entire fin line, as a guide to help you choose the best product for your needs.
