Tusa Hyflex Switch Fins - Open Heel - Flash Yellow (FY) - XS. The Tusa Hyflex Switch Fins are part of a new generation of fin with state of the art materials and design for the most efficient blade possible. Made with the travelling diver in mind, the blade can separate from the foot pocket so they pack down smaller.
ScubaLab Testers Choice 1017: Travel Friendly
The Tusa Hyflex Switch is powered by the PuRiMaX Polyurethane Blade System. The Polyurethane blade provides a quick snappy response to the diver's every movement.
Tusa's unique Vortex Generator effectively reduces water resistance through the fin stroke normally found on traditional smooth blades. The Vortex Generator consists of six (6) performance ridges positioned behind the blade vent reduce resistance, creating a smoother and more efficient kick cycle. Tusa's Multi-compound foot pocket increases power transfer to the fin blade.
The Tusa Hyflex Switch Fins are equipped with the new Universal Bungee Strap providing extraordinary comfort. The heavy duty elastic fin strap provides easy donning and doffing of fins. The quick adjustment accommodates five (5) adjustable positions. Fin strap is equipped with a large extruded rubber heel cushion with large finger loop for easy donning and doffing.
Angled Blade Design (A.B.D.): A standard flat fin inhibits propulsion solely by fault of design. An angle between the heel of the foot and the calf of the leg remains when the leg is extended to kick. This angle causes approximately 10% of the propulsion to be lost. The Angled Blade Design accommodates for this anatomical characteristic and ensures maximum efficiency throughout the kicking cycle.
Compact: The Tusa Hyflex System makes for a compact and lightweight travel package. The modern diver is a travelling diver who dives at home and abroad but still wants to use their own gear while travelling. The Tusa Hyflex Switch Fins are made of three components that can be separated when you need to pack them down smaller. Long weekend trips often meant you had to leave your fins behind or take a bigger bag, by separating the blades and foot pockets they become much smaller to fit in most travel bags.
