CRESSI Frog Open Heel Fins

CRESSI Frog Open Heel Fins

A classic in the CRESSI range, this has been on the market for many years and has a huge number of appreciators in every corner of the planet.

The fin is made with a skillful combination of a Strong Copolymer and a Soft Elastomer.
This Copolymer called Ethylene-Vinyl-Acetate, it is a state of the art plastic that has good memory The materials memory allows the fin to snap back into its original position or angle without “going flat” This creates a comfortable gentle kicking fin that delivers nice power, without inducing leg cramps.
The Elastomer used for the foot pocket, for the side stringers and for some inserts.

The blade originates from the upper part of the foot pocket, with a 20% increase in useful surface area compared to a traditional fin of the same length.
Running nearly the fins outside blade length are raised, rubber-like ridges A pair of smaller ribs runs down the fin’s center These stiff ribs channel water onto the fins blade As water streams down the leg, it continues in a smooth transition across the length of the fin There is no water hydroplaning or skidding on either the up or down stroke No hydroplaning means better power and control for the diver Each kick’s up and down stroke are power movements and drag is minimized

The foot pocket is computer designed and offers great comfort;
The Frog’s innovative computer designed foot-pocket further aids control and comfort, it guarantees excellent transmission of the leg-fin thrust.
The pocket’s top edge is lined with comfortably soft, curved, rubber-like techno-plastic Its bottom portion extends back about four inches, giving support under all or most of your foot When your foot is supported, more of the power from your leg and foot is transferred to the kick.

The Frog is heavier than the more recently designed equivalent CRESSI models. A Heavier fin is more durable and useful for the working diver or instructors who demand strength and comfort, it is this feature that makes it agreeable to diver who uses very thick suits or dry suits. Anyone who works underwater will appreciate this fin a great deal because it is strong and comfortable, very popular also in diving schools and excellent for rental.

It is easy to walk backwards or sideways in Frogs Small bar-like treads on the bottom provide traction when standing on a slippery surface The impact resistant plastic quick-release buckles are easy to operate, even with gloves; buckles have a sleek finish and reliably locking mechanism to lock the strap in place They buckles rotate an impressive 300 degrees, so no matter how high your arch or how high your heel strap is worn, the buckle rotates for a non-crimped, perfect fit
