The Palau short adjustable fin (SAF) opens the way for a new type of snorkeling and swimming flippers. It has been designed for two specific purposes. The first requirement was to have a foot pocket that could easily accommodate at least three or four consecutive foot sizes. This would enable the same fin to be used by all the members of a family, or by a group of friends. It would also make it great for rentals in a diving center or on a charter boat, without requiring an infinite number of sizes. The second purpose was to ensure extreme comfort and ease of fit in a strapped, open-heel fin, even when worn barefoot. The result is a fin that is extraordinarily practical, adapting to practically any foot size and allowing for rapid fitting in any situation.
The blade is made from a lightweight yet responsive material that ensures a fluid and effortless kick, while also being quite powerful. The fin blade extends from the top of the foot pocket for maximum surface area. The strap features a strong pull tab ring, allowing for quick reversal of the strap for ease of donning and doffing, or to clip the fins to the body or equipment. The fin pocket is made from a soft elastomer for added comfort.
Thanks to their dimension, the Palau SAF is ideal for travel and commonly used for swimming and snorkeling.
