Molchanovs SPORT Short Bifins 3 Carbon

Where portability meets performance - the SPORT Short Bifins 3 Carbon.

• Description

  Introducing the newest version of the shorties - the SPORT Short Bifins 3 Carbon, designed for instructors, underwater photographers, shorter freedivers, and frequent travelers who want fins for recreational fun diving. The SPORT Short Bifins 3 Carbon features a lightweight and responsive short carbon blade that is easy to assemble/ disassemble and even easier to travel with. Anatomical silicone foot pockets ensure comfort, while rigid stabilizers offer precise control over each kick. An innovative foot pocket attachment maximizes power with every movement, enhancing overall performance.

  Updated carbon blade

  100% premium carbon fiber blades feel featherlight in the water and give you more spring with each kick. Now with an updated blade-layering pattern and size-graded stiffness to match blade length with resistance - soft blades are a little shorter for maneuverability and stiffer blades are longer for more balanced propulsion.

  Compact size

  A smaller blade allows you to move more easily in water, making these shorties ideal for instructor work, underwater photography, fun divers, and shorter freedivers.

  Effortless travel

  Finally, a pair of bifins that fits into your average-sized check-in luggage or backpack! No disassembly is required, making this pair of shorties a true travel companion.

  Innovative foot pocket attachment

  The shape and attachment of the foot pocket to the blade creates a unique energy transfer system. With each kick, the silicone under the upper mounting plate compresses, sending an energetic transfer of force from foot to blade. The placement of the foot pocket also fixes your toes around the blade angle, streamlining every kick.

  Easy assembly

  Assembling the foot pockets to the blades takes only minutes, making it easier than ever to switch to a new pair of foot pockets or upgrade to a new blade

  Minimalistic design

  The new design is sporty and fierce while keeping the signature Molchanovs minimalism and style! Carbon blades are black - choose from 5 bold accent colors.

• Assembly Instructions

  CAUTION: Secure the screws firmly, but avoid over-tightening which could strip the threads or damage the blade. Stop when you feel moderate resistance.

  1. Match the left and right foot pocket with the corresponding blade (marked on the back side of each blade).
  2. Insert the blade gently into the slot at the front of the foot pocket and through the side reinforcements, verifying it is inserted correctly and slides in smoothly without force.
  3. Align the blade by carefully adjusting its position until the blade’s mounting holes match with those on the foot pocket.
  4. Position the upper segment of the pressure plate over the toe section of the foot pocket, verifying it fits into the provided space.
  5. Begin by hand-threading the screws into the holes of the lower pressure plate.
  6. Place the lower pressure plate over the blade, aligning it with the upper pressure plate and the holes. Tighten the screws in a clockwise direction using a Phillips head screwdriver with an even distribution of pressure.

• Size Guide

  

  There are two widths to choose from:

  • Wide

    ‘Wide’ is designed to be wider and more roomy for your feet, allowing you to wear diving socks with the foot pockets. They have a wider fit than the foot pockets on our original CORE Silicone Bifins.

    Choose Wide if:

    • You plan to wear diving socks
    • You have wide feet
    • You prefer a roomier fit

  • Standard

    ‘Standard’ foot pockets are more narrow than ‘Wide’ foot pockets and are designed to be worn with bare feet.

    Choose Standard if:

    • You prefer a snug, barefoot feel
    • You have narrow to average width feet

  Both ‘Wide’ and ‘Standard’ fit foot pockets share the same length—only the circumference is different. Refer to the size chart below to find your ideal size in your preferred width. 34 - 35 EU is available in Standard Fit Only.
