Conclusions from our recent testing include our belief in anticipated improvements in thrust of 50-70% while concurrently reducing drag!

FreedomFins' design integrates torque offset and balances against the thrust foil overcomes the expected twisting of the leg.

Professional

Think about Navy Seals, Marine Special Opps, or Homeland Security users. They are physical specimens required to reach their objective often through long distances underwater. Their lives depend on evading their enemy on land or in the water.

The superior underwater speed gives them a "leg up," while they consume less energy to cover longer distances with less fatigue.

Helicopter jumps are safer, too. FreedomFins secure to the lower leg and fold in, which avoids the risk of prop wash blowing their legs outward, blowing fins off entirely, or dangerously pulling the diver out of the chopper. Our designs should allow altitudes of 30 feet or more.

Lastly, the ability to transition from water to land or boat and back without having to stop, or slow down, to don or remove fins or foot covers, may save lives.

Summarizing the benefits to professional users...

• Increase your peak performance time, thereby reducing the risk of exhaustion or of wounds or death in military use.

• Greatly reduce swimmer's exposure to risk when transitioning between water and land or boat; this time saver may mean the difference between life or death for resuce personnel or military divers.

• Realize increased thrust on every kick stroke; loads are "lightened" as the efficiency is experienced.

In short, FreedomFins improves outcomes for professional divers while, saving lives and reducing disabling injury.

Extreme Sport

For nearly a century, underwater speeds have been limited by our first attempt to convert man into an efficient swimming machine. Fin-on-the-foot was the standard for the 20th century.

In the 21st century FreedomFins is at the threshold of changing forever fins mimicking duck-push propulsion to the elegant and efficient dolphin approach of generating voritices-thrust.

Imagine new speed and depth records emerging from FreedomFins design... the days of recreational sport hybrid design are upon us with a vengeance. Native Hawaiians deserve credit for inventing surfing. There, we evolved from balsa boards to fiberglass, then sails on surfboards to kites attached to surfers that enable us to surf the sky and the sea at the same time!

FreedomFins will launch a highly evolved thrust fin that will push the limits of human-borne underwater propulsion. Thrust fin dimensions will be limited only by the person attempting to create vortices flow. From kite surfing to rollerblading, snowboarding to wakeboarding, the EXTREME SPORT enthusiasts constantly push the envelope for Olympian and global acceptance. FreedomFins will easily join the ranks of cutting-edge recreational sport design.
