I can't believe the quick service I received. I ordered my equipment on Thursday and had it on Tuesday. Thanks again.

TUSA X-PERT ZOOM Z3

The TUSA SF-15 X-PERT ZOOM Z3 improves on the performance, features and design of the SF-8 with the incorporation of 3 materials, longer blade length, propeller-fin technology, reinforced blade rails and optimized blade scoops.  The new features along with a 27 degree Angled Blade Design makes the TUSA SF-15 X-PERT ZOOM Z3 the perfect choice for any diver.

When using the standard traditional blade fin, with the leg completely extended, there remains an angle of 27 degrees between the heel and the foot and the calf of the leg, causing a 10% loss of propulsion. Because the fin is angled below the body, during the kick phase, the body is pushed forward and down, instead of straight ahead.  With the SF-15 fin, that 27 degree angle has been designed into the fin.  This means that 100% of the energy expended during the kick phase is directed toward the propulsion of the diver. TUSA developed a robot that can replicate the kick-cycle and movement of a human's leg.  The robot is able to mimic the motion of a human exactly and relay accurate data.  TUSA has been able to analyze the performance of the fins under several conditions. The robot is able to simulate swimming through the water using kick variations, such as a large scissor kick with a slow repetition and vice versa.  Using the latest technology, this robot measures the energy expended during the kick and the propulsive force that is created using that energy.  To achieve maximum performance from this fin, use a small bent-knee kick with a light rhythm. This creates less strain on the leg muscles compared with traditional fins, reducing the diver's fatigue and subsequent air consumption.

I just received my X-PERT ZOOM Z3 fins and did a short pool dive to see how they felt. I was pleasantly surprised how easily I was propelled and how easy they were to get off and on. I am very happy with my selection.
