The new Gara Turbo Sprint fin is a shorter version of the Gara Turbo fin.
Sprint is designed to meet the needs of freedivers and spearfishers who practice this sport in wintertime and when a blade as long as Impulse is not necessary.
Both fins have been designed using expensive finite element software programs that allow highly complex and
equally high-performance sections to be defined.
The blade of Sprint, like the Impulse blade, is mad of a single thermoplastic elastomer, although it would be more correct to refer to an angled sublayer and an overlay.
The sublayer follows the shape and dimensions of almost the entire fin.
It has a uniform thickness and a flexible longitudinal propulsion wing of variable length.
When disassembled, the blade and foot pocket occupy the space of a normal snorkeling fin.
The new Gara Modular Sprint fin is a shorter version of the Impulse
fin, which proved to be hugely popular with freedivers worldwide,
both amateurs and the most demanding professional freedivers.
This is also confirmed by the large number of articles dedicated to
it by specialized journalists in sector magazines.

The blade of Sprint, like the Impulse blade, is made of a single
thermoplastic elastomer, although it would be more correct to
refer to an angled sublayer and an overlay. The sublayer follows
the shape and dimensions of almost the entire fin. It has a uniform
thickness and a flexible longitudinal propulsion wing of variable
length. In contrast, the so-called overlay covers the propulsion wing
selectively and has a thickness that slopes from the maximum value
to zero longitudinally towards the tip of the blade.
As a result, the fin offers a new way of storing and releasing elastic
potential energy, greatly assisting movement of the freediver’s legs
and thus guaranteeing a net improvement in propulsive output.
When disassembled, the blade and foot pocket occupy the space of
a normal snorkeling fin.
