The Gara Modular Sprint fin is the new 2020 model part of the Cressi Gara line

It 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

Sprint is designed to meet the needs of freedivers and spearfishers who practice this sport in wintertime and when a fin 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 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 the 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

The Gara Modular Sprint is designed and manufactured n Italy by Cressi, an Italian brand pioneer in freediving, spearfishing, and scuba diving equipment since 1946

The product is covered by a 2-year limited warranty.
