Introduced at Boot 2023, Scubapro’s new Supernova high-performance fin featured an innovative two-piece design, enabling the fins to be dismantled for ease of transport, and the German manufacturer has extended the design to its new S-Tek model fin.
Described as a ‘purpose-built, next-gen technical diving fin providing maximum power when you need it,’ the S-Tek is constructed of durable Monprene with an ‘ultra-streamlined’ profile.
Scubapro claims the S-Tek Fin’s 30º pre-angled blade requires less deflection to achieve the desired angle of attack for an efficient kick, allowing for a stiffer blade without increasing drag, thereby reducing leg cramps and ankle strain without sacrificing manoeuvrability and alternative kicking techniques.
Designed with technical diving in mind, the S-Tek Fin is said to excel at frog kicks, backward kicks, and helicopter turns, plus they capable of producing a high-torque flutter kick.
In addition, a removable stainless steel weight plate system lets divers choose between having a positively buoyant, neutrally buoyant, or negatively buoyant fin.
