Cressi Gara Turbo Carbon Blade Freediving Fins

Following the Impulse project we have successfully transferred the same design parameters for S-shaped undulating deformation to this innovative carbon 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 effect has been achieved using a finite elements programme that enables the performance offered by carbon fibre to be exploited to the full. The blade is all carbon fibre with an angle of 29°. The fibre is imported from Japan. The shaped and processed sheet is then produced in a specialist plant in Turkey. The blade is subsequently finished with an industrial co-moulding process at Cressi’s Genoa plant. The elevated chemical bonding achieved between blade and rail, effectively creating a single piece, has permitted the elimination of the rigid glue that prevented the carbon fibre blade from flexing naturally. The thermoplastic rubber used for the water channelling rails is extremely flexible and soft so as not to undermine the intrinsic characteristics of the carbon fibre. The blade is therefore less fragile and more protected by the rubber. The end result is a very light fin, with every square millimetre exploiting the flexibility of the carbon fibre to the full.
