CRESSI Gara Modular Long Freediving Full Foot Fins.

CRESSI was the first manufacturer to use the thermoplastic rubber-blade foot pocket and also the first one to thermofuse in a single element three different materials to improve the effort transmission. An interchangeable blade which is very lightweight and reactive and also well-adapted for the most demanding of free-diving use. The need to dispose of a removable version to install blades made of carbon or other different materials, leads us to the new Gara Modular, which allows the CRESSI experience with a several materials composition and many features.
The volume of the shoe has been resized after extensive anatomical studies, so that the volumes are proportional to the effect of enlargement that cause the socks depending on the size of the foot, does not follow a fixed proportion size to size as proportionally a small foot “fattens” much more than a large one when you put on the socks.
The new foot pocket combines two materials, a thermoplastic rubber with high hardness (shore 90), flexible but inelastic and really resistant according to the nerves, to the whole foot pocket’s sole and to the exclusive strap over the instep aimed to make the effort transmission to be immediate without dissipate in rubbery compositions.
The instep incorporates on the middle a self-adjusting 2 cm wide strap, which allows a slight expansion (from 2 to 4 mm depending on the size) to fit in people who have high instep or also in case of using thick foot pockets. The expansion has been thoroughly balanced to avoid damaging the energy transmission.
The other foot pocket’s part (grey area) has a flexible composition shore 50º to obtain the maximum comfort. This material extends in the area of the heel to perform a non-slip function when walking on a boat or on rocks.
The original blade is made of high-modulus propylene (2500 Mpa). It has lifelong warranty and highly elastic return. It incorporates two little antiskid spoilers on the final area. The decreasing thickness section (from 4mm to 2mm) causes the highly progressive tonnage eliminating the skid tendency, because the first half of the set is more rigid and the final half is more flexible.

CRESSI Gara Modular Impulse Freediving Full Foot Fins.

The Gara Modular system introduced by Cressi makes this a perfect choice for deep freediving and spearfishing for divers of all levels.
The modular design lets the user replace / interchange blades for specific diving purposes, which make the perfect fin to grow with, as the diver can change blades as their skills increase.

Any standard Fiberglass or Carbon Fiber long blade will interchange in minutes without any modifications to either.
The self adjusting footpocket is constructed with the most modern multi compound joining process to deliver a footpocket that can offer comfort and suppleness around the foot where desired and yet have stiffer compounds under the footpocket and heel area where power transfer takes place.

The angle of the blade 29 degrees,provides the ultimate in efficiency during the kick cycle requiring less energy to load the blade.
The fin can be comfortably worn with or without neoprene socks.

BLADE
The blade of the Gara Modular Impulse completes the range of Cressi fins, inserting a bending angle of 29 degrees, which allows you to further increase the dynamic performance of the fin.
The blade has an incredible resistance to any type of shock, impact or stress, making it almost impossible to break accidentally.

ANTI-SLIP WATER RAILS PREVENT WATER FLOW FROM ESCAPING SIDEWAYS
“RONDINE” TAIL SPECIAL DESIGN IMPROVES FIN CONTROL AND DIRECTIONALITY

FOOTPOCKETS
Gara Modular’s footpocket is wider than the other gara fin models. we suggest to use it with neoprene socks in order to have a proper fit.
For use without neoprene socks, we recommend to buy one smaller size.

INSOLE
INCLUDED GARA MODULAR INSOLE.
The new insole for Gara Modular fins is recommended for use with thin boots in temperate waters, because it improves the kick performance.
Thesemi-rigid material of the insole is completely recycled.
The insoles are supplied as a pair (right and left foot) and can be cut into their shape in three different sizes, according to pre-printed guidelines.
All fin components are also supplied separately.

CRESSI Gara 2000 HF long Freediving Full Foot Fins

The first fin in the world made by combining three different materials, a process that CRESSI perfected and patented with this fin, which guarantees unsurpassable performance.
The blade is made from a special, incredibly reactive polypropylene, which is at the same time extremely light, and progressively charges up during the stride to take off like a spring at the exact moment the stride is inverted.
A soft elastomer anatomically wraps around the foot, blocking it with a comfortable bite, which guarantees perfect transmission of the leg-fin thrust.
A suitably solid copolymer hardens some critical zones of the foot, and is extended along the sides in two lateral stringers, which go halfway along the blade.
The function of these stringers, assisted by special raised bands on the bottom of the blade, is to regulate and harmonise the bending, at the same time protecting it from shocks and abrasions.
The fins are extraordinarily light compared to equivalent models of rubber footed fins and reduces the inertial masses to the minimum, to the full advantage of the effort-efficiency ratio.
This fin is designed for deep skin-diving, Freediving, Recreation, Snorkeling, Spearfishing although some Scuba professionals and instructors appreciate it a great deal.

CRESSI Gara 3000 LD Long Freediving Full Foot Fins.

The structure of the Gara 3000 LD is identical to the greatly-appreciated Gara 3000, but the material of the blade, which is softer, is what makes them stand out.
The LD in the 3000 LD stands for Long Distance, indicating the main use of the product, and these fins have emerged from the need to offer enthusiasts increasingly powerful fins, which are however less demanding than the Gara 3000 fins.
Less muscle effort is required for kicking so divers can use them for longer, making them perfect to use many hours in a row.
The softer blade is also very suitable for use in cold water, which is notorious for its tendency to stiffen materials and make them less flexible.
The Gara 3000 LD is an Excellent Choice for the Experienced Free Divers. Its unique Performance Characteristics feature a more Flexible, Lightweight design with a Custom Fitting Foot Pocket. The Gara 3000 LD is also suitable for the Entry-Level Diver, allowing the diver to develop the stamina and later using a stiffer blade fin once they develop their leg muscles.
The Fin has a Long Soft Plastic Blade and a Soft Elastomer Foot Pocket that Anatomically Wraps around the Foot, surrounding it with a Comfortable Bite that guarantees perfect Transmission of the Leg-Fin Thrust. Fins are Durably Constructed and designed to take Abuse.
