GARA TURBO SPRINT is the latest version of Gara Modular Impulse, a long fin that has been an event in the sector with unprecedented approval from all types of users: freedivers, spearfishermen and even divers.
In this case, we propose a version with the same foot pocket and guide configuration as the Impulse but with a reduction in length to 65 cm, which also allows it to be placed in practically any equipment bag.
Regarding Gara Sprint, it adopts a foot pocket with short horns that modify the personality of the fin, reducing its power and stiffness but increasing its comfort, reactivity and speed.
It is a perfect fin for advanced snorkeling but perfectly usable for activities that require speed and high rate of finning such as underwater hockey and rugby, rescue and first aid, competitive diving and competitive apnea training.
BLADE
In high-modulus, high-reactivity polypropylene and a new design with variable thickness and a new distribution of the reinforcements, which makes the arching very progressive, cancelling the tendency to skid, since the first half of the assembly is more rigid and the more flexible finish.
Blade with angulation of 29º against the traditional 15º to 21º. This angulation allows a flapping with the foot in a completely relaxed position and makes flapping soft and comfortable but highly effective both for surface movements and to overcome situations of great resistance to advance such as rising from the bottom, strong sea or the start of the descent with adjusted ballast.
The design of the end of the blade is slightly conical and integrates two spoilers in subtle thermoplastic rubber. This feature, together with the calculated progression of the blade flexing arc, makes the flapping stability of Impulse perfect.
FOOT POCKET
New design of the horns of the foot pocket with reduced height and minimized length in order to allow the adaptation of blades at any angle, not interfering with the reactivity of the blade and allowing a greater arc to the blade.
Foot pocket volume resulting from in-depth anatomical studies, with volumes proportional to the widening effect caused by the foot pocket depending on the size of the foot, it does not follow a fixed proportion size by size since proportionally a small foot "fattens" much more than a large one when put on booties
Combine two materials:
The instep incorporates a 2 cm wide "Self adjusting" band in its center, which allows a slight dilation (from 2 to 4 mm depending on size) to adapt to people with high insteps or in case of using thick pumps. The expansion has been carefully calibrated so as not to impair the transmission of energy.
Sizes: from 36-37 to 46/47
The instep incorporates in its centre a band of 2 cm of width “Self-adjusting”, which allows a slight expansion (from 2 to 4 mm depending on size) to adapt to people with a high instep or in case of using thick socks. The dilation has been carefully calibrated so as not to impair the transmission of energy.
It combines two materials, recalibrated in terms of hardness and elasticity to improve the comfort-energy transmission ratio:
The foot pocket volume has been dimensioned after extensive anatomical studies, in such a way that the volumes are proportional to the widening effect caused by the boot depending on the size of the foot, it does not follow a fixed proportion size-to-size since proportionally a small foot " It fattens ”much more than a big one when putting on socks.
Blade with an angle of 29º against the traditional 15º to 21º. This angulation allows a kick with the foot in a completely relaxed position with hardly any force on the instep and calves to align the blade with the leg. This makes the flapping smooth and comfortable but highly effective both for surface movements and to overcome situations of great resistance to progress such as ascent from the bottom, strong seas or the beginning of the descent with adjusted ballast.
Detail of the anti-skid spoilers integrated in soft thermoplastic rubber.
New design of the flaps of the foot pocket with reduced height in order to allow the adjustment of blades of any angle, not interfere in the reactivity of the blade and allow a greater arch to the blade.
It is a very valid versatile fin for activities that require great power and acceleration capacity such as underwater hockey and rugby, rescue and first aid, competitive diving and competitive apnea training. It is also a perfectly valid fin for snorkeling and practically any underwater activity.
