ANY DIVE, ANY DIVER. SLINGSHOT - THE RIGHT FIN FOR YOU! Regardless of experience, strength or the type of dive you are doing you will find the Slingshot is the right fin for you. Why? The Slingshot takes its name from the high power silicone bands that store energy on your down stroke, and release this energy just like a slingshot. This mechanical advantage minimizes the energy you use to drive you through the water, meaning you get where you need to be faster and easier. The innovation doesn’t stop there. We recognise that depending on the diver and dive conditions, maximum power may be required and at other times you just want to cruise. A revolutionary 3 speed gear shift allows you to adjust the speed to effort ratio, even underwater. This stunning Italian made fin continues to pile on the power with a mid foot pivot point that transfers the power from your entire leg to the blade relieving pressure on your ankles or toes, meaning more power and less chance of cramp or aching ankles. With all this mechanical advantage the Slingshot is more than a just a fin -the Slingshot is a machine! For a demonstration of the power of the Slinshot head to your nearest Aqualung dealer today...and make sure you bring your buddies, after all you don't want to leave them behind! The Slingshot features three main innovations: Power Bands, the Gear Shift, and the Mid-Foot Attachment Points POWER BANDS Known as power bands, these silicone straps capture all the energy of the downstroke (powerstroke) and then immediately snap back, creating powerful propulsion that’s much more efficient than other fins on the market and help divers save their energy. GEAR SHIFT The Gear Shift gives the diver complete control of power under any condition. The diver can shift to one of three settings in order to choose the speed-to-effort ratio, allowing him to go from cruising speed in tranquil waters, to a forceful thrust in strong currents. The Slingshot adjusts, quickly (and underwater), to the various circumstances that can occur. MID-FOOT ATTACHMENT POINTS The blade attaches to the foot further back on the foot pocket rather than at the toes, alleviating pressure on the front of the foot and reducing strain on the ankle, while allowing all the power to transmit from the leg to the fin.
