Info on the Aqua Lung Slingshot Fin

Aqua Lung is excited to offer Slingshot - a revolutionary fin that will take the dive world by storm. The Slingshot™ will make diving more comfortable, efficient and fun. Its innovations include Power Bands, Gear Shift and Mid-foot Flex Joint that all add up to provide a wonderful diving experience.

Features

Power Bands
Pure silicone Power Bands are loaded with energy on the power stroke. They release their energy prior to the upstroke to provide an added boost of power
Instead of wasting your energy, you accumulate it and reclaim it!
Power bands lessen fatigue and add thrust

Gear Shift
3-speed Gear Shift customizes your speed to effort ratio to fit the specific conditions of your dive
Three different settings are available
Easy to shift during the dive, even with gloves
Mid-foot Flex Joint
The blade is attached to the foot pocket using two Mid-foot Flex Joint
This takes the strain off of the toes and the top of the ankle. The result is a dramatic improvement in comfort
You can now use the entire foot to power the fin rather than just the front half of the foot
Provides the blade a significantly larger range of motion, often up to 5 times that of a conventional fin

I

I've read lots before ordering these fins, especially since I ordered them online and couldn't try on for fit. Ahhh, they are the best!!! They are a bit heavy, but in terms of comfort and performance there's no match! I've lost a fin a week ago on my trip in Mozambique getting onto a boat in really rough seas and had to live with a pair of decent fins from the diveshop. Well, first of all, it suddenly felt like I finned and finned and yet wasn't getting anywhere much! Secondly, after the first dive my knees were killing me! Resume: I am ordering a new pair once I am done writing this review!

I bought a pair at LIDS over a year ago...

I bought a pair at LIDS over a year ago and found them excellent. Proper fitting ensured that there was no discomfort when wearing at they seemed to eliminate all evidence of leg cramps, something I have always been prone to. At Christmas 2010 I lost a fin in heavy swell coming off the dive boat and had to use a conventional fin for the rest of my dives. As a direct comparison I felt the "ordinary" dive centre fin was harder work especially in current. I am waiting now for the insurance claim to buy a new pair of slingshots. Can't wait.

Bought 2 pairs of these at the dive show last...

Bought 2 pairs of these at the dive show last year for me and my partner. They are very heavy and produce good power as you'd expect. The gears do make some difference but you certainly can't change them with gloves on and they aren't necessary. They are the first fins I've tried which have hurt me across the top of my feet. Presumably due to their weight. They also give me cramp in the leg when in a high gear setting, but maybe that's my problem for nit being fitter. All in all, I'm disappointed. I've tried persevering but they're just fins. Nothing wow. My other half hasn't even got hers wet as she knows bow disappointed I am with mine. I will replace them one day but for now, they work. They just don't do anything more than a cheap pair.
