Atomic Aquatics X1 Bladefin Silver

Atomic Aquatics X1 BladeFins deliver ultimate power and raw thrust.

Firmer, shorter blades and a solid internal frame are attached to power plate foot pockets providing more control and better maneuverability in tight spaces. X1 Blade Fins are perfect for general diving, tech diving and alternate kicking styles like frog and scissor. Taller foot pockets are great for large boots.

Features

While divers will appreciate the thrust and control per-formance of the X1 BladeFin in the water, there’s even more to love before and after a dive. Our patented EZ-LOK Buckle System lets a diver easily snap the buckle on and off with confidence that it will not release accidental-ly. Buckles rotate 180 degrees and straps adjust with a simple pull (US Patent No. 6,463,640).

• X1 BLADEFIN DESIGN: Power and thrust. Feel and control. General and alternate. The X1 BladeFin is a perfect fin for every diver and dive technique. The taller foot pocket with low-friction entry section is well-suited for large boots and drysuit boots.
• RIGID LOW-PROFILE SIDE RAILS & SHORTER, STIFFER BLADE: Makes turning and pivoting easier. Most fins have taller side rails for tracking and bending strength. The Atomic Aquatics X1 BladeFin has lower profile rails with less side-to-side resistance that allow you to rotate, spin and turn more efficiently during alternate fin kicks.
• MONOCOQUE STRUCTURE & POWER PLATE: Unique structural engineering design is connected to the low-profile rails, efficiently transferring power from the leg and foot to the rails.
• ASYMMETRICAL BLADE BEND FLEXING: This design attribute is perfect for alternate kicking styles. Scissor kicks, frog-kicking and helicopter turning in tight circles put more emphasis on the up-kick or return stroke. For these kick styles, the X1 provides more feel and control of the fin to maneuver more effectively without folding under heavy load.
• VERTICAL STABILIZERS OR STRAKES: Adds stability and lowers drag to keep the fin tracking straight as an arrow. Other fin designs use taller side rails to keep the fin tracking straight. By using strakes to straighten the fin, the X1 BladeFin does not add significant side drag like tall side rails.
• EZ-LOK BUCKLE SYSTEM: An Atomic Aquatics exclusive, our patented buckle system design features easy, one-handed quick release of the buckle from the fin. Re-attachment is simple and secure (U.S. Patent NO. 6,463,640).
• WARRANTY & CARE: Atomic Aquatics fins are warranted against defects for a period of one year. Keep out of direct sunlight when possible to avoid color fading. Store your fins with the foot pocket inserts in place and in a manner that prevents deforming.
