SCUBAPRO Seawing Nova Gorilla Diving Fin

Switched over from some split fins. There is literally no comparison between the power of these gorillas and my old split fins. These have so much "thrust", awesome!

You should use these for a few serious workout swims before using to get your back in shape. Until I got in shape for these flips, my back (for about three weeks) felt like it was gonna break... The pain KILLED! But then, OH BAYBEE!! I swim year round in the lower Columbia near the mouth about a mile to a mile five several times a week and the currents are no bullshat. However, these flips allow one to: a. swim directly against the current and gain ground for a short sprint; b. easily swim perpendicular to the current and go where you need to go. (Just pre-plan for the distance that the up or down current will pull you as you are traversing and make sure that no doucheable boaters are gonna get in yer hair.) c. These flips will make you fly if you are swimming directly with the current. However, beware. I was swimming along one time amongst pilings in a slack tide and nailed a piling root spur and gashed my head wide open (despite having a 7mm+ hoodie on). Now I wear a bike helmet and a thick rubber neck flange protecter thing.

I wear a us 10 mens shoe and im flat footed they fit perfect

STRONG KICKERS ONLY!! I recently purchased these and before I took them on my upcoming vacation I figured I'd try a few laps to make sure nothing went wrong. I'm sure glad I tested them out. I wear a men's US size 10-10.5 shoe, size 10 boot, and a LARGE was too big. I was wearing fin socks with 3mm Mares boots and the unadjustable bungee strap kept sliding down below the fin pocket anytime I would push hard. On the plus side, they seem very durable, and they moved me quickly when my foot wasn't sliding out. Returning them now for a Medium size. I'm confident even with 5mm boots the medium will be fine. BTW don't be fooled by fake sellers, the GORILLAS ONLY COME IN GRAY/GRAPHITE and ORANGE not yellow, or white. Look at the gorilla on Scubapros website= only gray and orange.

They are not adjustable!

I'm a marine biologist and love snorkeling, free-diving, and scuba diving. I honestly wasn't sure if buying the Seawing Novas was going to be worth the price or if I should get the regular or Gorilla version. I took these on a trip to Indonesia and wow; I am so glad I got Seawing Nova Gorillas! I was effortlessly reaching speeds no one else was and getting deeper on fewer kicks with what felt like a really light amount of resistance. My legs were not tired at all at the end of the day and I am glad I got the model with a stiffer kick. I was still able to maneuver effortlessly in shallow, strong currents around delicate corals without risking harm to these amazing creatures. They did take up a bit of my travel bag, but these are definitely worth the investment!

I adore these fins so much! These Springy orange speedsters are super navigable. I got them for scuba, but condition with them in a lap pool often. I swim in a happy fast barrel rolls and troll along the bottom swimming backwards watching the surface. when a life guard gets too close I can pop up and launch a couple gallons of water several feet in a magnificent splash because the spring hinges give me serious oomph! Haven’t gotten kicked out of the pool yet and having and amazing time with theses excellent fins.

The dive pro talked these up and sold me on them. I found these “used new” - probably just a frugal return. It was in original packaging. Reviews seem to be true. They’re a little stiffer than the regular models but let me tell you how easy they are to put on, carry around and work in the water. You won’t regret it. Some of the Best money i spent
