The Seatec Vela fin is born from the union of the PRS foot pocket and the Vela polymer blade.
The PRS was born from the observation that, while the market had been actively developing blades (varying polymers, varying hardness, and shape; exploring different materials such as carbon and fiberglass), the flaw in shoes remained: inserting the blade into the dedicated pocket just under the ball of the foot resulted in significant energy loss. Even a polymer blade can deliver greater performance if the reaction of the swing is transmitted precisely to the heel of the foot.
The Seatec VELA blade is made of premium polymers with innovative technical features that, combined with the specially designed shape reminiscent of the caudal fin of large pelagic fish, ensure optimal performance and thrust. Special grooves and two 170mm long and 11mm high fins at the ends allow for perfect channeling of the water flow. These fins create a slight stiffening of the blade and allow for greater thrust even at the end. The attractive satin finish, in addition to improving water flow, adds a striking touch to the line. The maximum width of the blade is 213mm with a maximum thickness of 4mm, tapering to 2mm.
