Gara Turbo Impulse Fins

The Gara Turbo Impulse fins store energy on the down kick and give it back on the return. That is the whole point of the S-shaped blade, and it is why they feel effortless on long descents.

How the Gara Turbo Impulse fins work

Following the impulse project we have successfully transferred the same design parameters for s-shaped undulating deformation to this innovative fin. This particular movement permits a notable accumulation of elastic potential energy in the blade, which is released in the return kick, transforming into thrust.

The thermoplastic rubber used for the water channelling rails is extremely flexible and soft so as not to undermine the intrinsic characteristics of the blade.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

• Extremely thin and light blade in compound made of elastomerized technopolymers developed by cressi
• Stringer consisting of technopolymers with elastomeric loads with high flexural modulus
• Footpocket / blade angle of 29 degrees
• Modular detachable fin
• Superior performance
• Superior comfort
• Self adjusting foot pocket

Why the 29 degree angle matters

Angling the blade away from the foot pocket means the blade is already attacking the water when your leg is still travelling, so less of the stroke is wasted at the start of each kick.

On a breath-hold that efficiency is the entire game, because every wasted kick is oxygen you do not get back.

The soft channelling rails keep water on the blade without stiffening it, which is the balance long fins usually get wrong.

Modular and detachable

The blade detaches from the foot pocket, which means two things: a damaged blade is replaceable rather than terminal, and the fins pack far shorter for travel.

The self-adjusting foot pocket takes thin socks comfortably and does not need a buckle.
