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

  

  *While designed for similar size foot compare to the Molchanovs Silicone Bifins, the SPORT Silicone Pockets are sized to be worn with dive socks instead of bare foot. For the same size the pockets are a little wider and a little longer.

  If you are wearing the Silicone Bifins bare foot:

  • you can get the SPORT Silicone Pockets in the same size but prepare to wear it with socks
  • Or get the SPORT Silicone Pockets one size smaller and wear it without socks, but also note that the SPORT Silicone Pockets are remarkably wider and depends on your foot width itmay not be stable laterally without socks

  If you are already using socks for the Silicone Bifins:

  • you will most likely need to get one size smaller for the SPORT Silicone Pockets to have a good fit with socks

  General guidance only, the Freedive Depot cannot be held responisble if the foot pockets does not fit. Please contact us for fitting or advice if unsure.
