Brand: Force Fin
Located in: Essential Equipment, Fins
Foil Force feature Force Fin's patented upcurved blade that works with your most efficient and natural kick strength curve. Kick forward to activate the blade, let the snap of the blade catapult you forward and do the work for you on the recovery.

A power and recovery

kick is more efficient than one with two way -- up and down -- stress.


Foil Force Fin's

feature our toes-free foot pocket that reduces cramping and leverages power from your strongest kicking muscles, for a most efficient kick. Clean edges that cut through the water without turbulence.


Independently moving wings

let you fine tune your position with small foot and leg movements, and are upcurved to focus and channel water behind. Vortex Generators keep water fast-flowing to where it meets a pair of flapping foils that accelerate the water through the split behind you.

Bungie Heel Strap not included

Comments about Force Fin Force-Fins "Foil Force" Black:

Over the five years that I have used them they have worked great. The one review that gives these a one star all I have to say is "Come on, get a grip". The picture shows you with a scooter and ankle weights, maybe you need a rocket pack to help you through the water. These fins work great for sculling in the water and hovering over areas of interest as with picture taking. I have taught over 100 open water classes with these and I never have had a problem. If you need a big fin because you wish to run a marathon under water then a pair of free dive fins would best suit your needs, but if you like to just relax in the water and conserve your gas then this pair of fins are what you need.They also work with boots or barefoot. One final note is that they travel very well because of there size they fit into the travel bag great.

Comments about Force Fin Force-Fins "Foil Force" Black:

I love these fins! I'm a recovery diver and dive heavy current in rivers and these get me where I need to go, and they work great in the Caribbean, too. Very efficient and comfortable, I use the same pair with my dry suit and add comfort insteps for my wetsuit. I recommend getting the bungie straps to make them easier to get on and off with a dry suit.

Comments about Force Fin Force-Fins "Foil Force" Black:

This is my second pair of force fins. I have used the original model 3-4 per week for 8 years and I love them. This model is stiffer and provides more thrust than original model. Its necessary to learn to kick a certain way to get these to really work but once you do, its the most comfortable and efficient fin you will ever use.

Comments about Force Fin Force-Fins "Foil Force" Black:

I've checked out of a lot of fins over the past few weeks... these were the worst- buy a different Force Fin.

Force Fin is one of the finest names in diving fins and for good reason; top quality material, excellent design, great customer service. I spent two days diving with the Foil Force Fins and EVERYONE was passing me, even a 65 year-old grandmother. (Last year I ran six marathons in under 4 hours: I have serious legs.) Near as I can tell, Bob Evan's is so passionate about his fins no one wants to tell him these 'suck' to his face, so he keeps making them.

I recommend buying another model of Force Fin (Tan Delta is my pick), you won't be disappointed and you'll be supporting quality American manufacturing.

Comments about Force Fin Force-Fins "Foil Force" Black:

I was very dissapointed in these fins. After spending a huge chunk the only thing I got was a comfortable fin. There is little to no propulsion out of these, so if you purchase them make sure you are Wreck diving or not planning to go anywhere with them. And please don't get caught in a current.
