- The Gara Modular Sprint fin is the new 2020 model part of the Cressi Gara Modular line. Shorter version of the Impulse model, very popular with freedivers.
- Versatile design, ideal for any activity: scuba diving, freediving, and snorkeling. Available in different sizes for adults.
- Thanks to the Modular Foot Pocket design you can change the blade choosing different lengths and models.
- The Full Foot Pocket is made of rubber with different elastic properties depending on the area, to adapt to the shape of the foot ensuring maximum comfort.
- 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 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.
