Hi I recently lost one of my deep apnea 100cm carbon fiber fins (hard stiffness) do you think these leaderfins can compare to them?
They are probably a bit less stiff? The Deep Anea are quite stiff. The deep apnea might be a bit higher quality construction but if you lose one of these they are cheap to replace. Plus the deep apnea are probably way too stiff for you.
I snapped my Leaderfin "Ice" (clear) fiberglass fin in half. Can I use my current Leaderfin pockets on these carbon fiber fins? If so, would guys do a short mounting video?
Aloha Christopher. Oh no! Yes you can use those blades with your same pockets. Mounting is quite easy. We can do it for you here. Definitely need to make that video!
My weight is 66 kilos and I use 8 or 9 kilos of lead. What fin hardness do you recommend soft or medium?
Soft
What about hard blades for scuba diving? I have fiberglass hard and they feel like nothing to me by now. Specially with currents. Thanks!
Yes, for pushing more width through the water stiffer blades are better but will tire out your legs sooner. What you 'feel' is not what you really get. It should 'feel' pretty easy to kick. If it 'feels' difficult then they are probably waay too stiff.
do these fit the SEAC pockets?
Yes they do. We often accompany them with the SEAC pockets because they fit so many people so well.
@@konafreediversreviews1175do you use glue to install carbon fiber leaderfin blades with the SEAC Motus foot pocket?
Hi! I have 24cm to be exact in my foot. What size for foot pocket is appropriate for me? Thanks. I will order soon with the carbon fins
Aloha Robby. It's more about the width of your foot. Also will you be wearing a booty? It's best if you can try the footpocket on first.
If I am 52kg, should I opt for soft stiffness blades? Not medium?
Yes. Soft should be better for your weight.
Will these match up with the foot pockets that come with the Seac Motus plastic fins? I'm about 190 lbs with my gear and fairly athletic. Currently using the Seac Motus plastic fins and definitely need something softer. Line diving to 25-30m and spearfishing as well. Medium stiffness recommended?
Aloha Rob. Yes they will work with the motus pockets. We combine those regularly.
Forsa vs Reg foot pockets ? I’m 5.9’ and weight about 186 pounds and I’m debating on those things plus stiffness. Like u say I have a pair of stiff blades and I won’t recommend them to my worse enemy. Any input will be appreciated.. thanks for the vid.
Haha! 😂 We feel ya on the too stiff blades. Soft will probably be most appropraite for you J C. As for foot pockets you really need to try them on in the shop to get the best idea of fit. You can call and we can talk story about your specific requirements (808)324-4668. Ask for Conor.
@@konafreediversreviews1175 hey thanks… I live in USA and now I see you reply. Anyhow I bought those specific ones but medium flex in red and I can tell you they are super super nice. Sooo comfortable, foot pocket soft enough I mean I really love them. And YES price is in the 200’s for that quality is a no brainer.
@@Jcauto-t4r hey man, I was wondering if you went with the Forza foot pockets because I'm considering buying these blades combined with those pockets
Are u seller? Can you ship to malaysia?
Aloha fathi. We do sell these cases. You can call the shop to arrange for shipment. +1.808.324.4668
@@konafreediversreviews1175 they require glue or just regular tools?
Do these fit the cressi gara footpocket?
Yes they do! If you're in Kona we can install them for you.
Are pure carbon fins more durable than fiberglass or vise versa? I’ll be diving often around corals and stony areas. 🥺 currently waiting for pure carbon from leaderfins.
Edit: my fins arrived and tried them. Super loved them. Upgraded from a plastic fin. But I’m scared it’d break once I hit it on a coral
You can protect your blades by protective film (see leaderfins official youtube channel)
Typically leaderfins are going to be less durable than say a more expensive alchemy fin. The protective film is a sticker that essentially reduces scratches. The stiffer the blade the more 'durable' in that it will be thicker and harder to bend. Leaderfins come with a 1 year warranty and alchemy's come with a 5 year warranty.
I'm 88kg + 5mm wetsuit + weight
Medium?
Soft would probably be best but if you swim a lot you might be able to get away with the mediums.
Can these dive to the titanic?
Absolutely. They will get you DOWN
