Force Wings

Force Fin was the first to offer Variable Blade
Control and Variable Thrust Technology as an option to
your fins. Again all Bob thinks about is fins. Force
Fin and Bob Evans Designs presents you with the option
of four different types of Force Wing- they are
Batwings, Whiskers, Speed Pods and Sharks teeth. All
of these wings stabilize the blade of the fin, but it
is the option of creating less drag, improving thrust
and overall making your experience in the water more
efficient and controlled that makes the Force Wings a
smart choice.
Whiskers- Efficiency and Power
The most common in the Force Wings line up are the
Whiskers. This accessory is the one that the diver or
swimmer will notice the most and the quickest
underwater http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/force-fin/218947-force-wings.html
Besides the Bat Wings the remaining two (Sharks teeth and Speed
pods) are fine-tuning tools that act with water
dynamics in a more suttlle, but precise way.
.
Sharks Teeth -Efficiency and Control
Sharks Teeth help stabilize the blade and increases
tracking control. This Wing model is not intended for
variable thrust, but increased control. With activies
like body boarding and river boarding (white water
sledging) the Sharks Teeth function like a keel on a
sailboat does. No rock and roll or wandering fin blade
with this baby attached to your fin.
Sharks Teeth have another function that is shared
with the Speed Pods. Force Fin users with the Multi
Force, Rip Force and the Adjustable are using the
Sharks Teeth turned perpendicular to the Fin and use
it as increased resistance for recovery and physical
conditioning. One customer described simply I have a
small pool so I turn the Teeth perpendicular to the
blade and now I have increased resistance for my
workouts and recovery for my legs
Speed Pods Efficiency and Speed
Speed Pods increase the surface area just enough to
break the surface tension in the same manner as the
Vortex generators on back of some of the Force Fin
Models http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/force-fin/219860-laws-nature.html
It also focuses the water onto the
blade increasing the efficiency of the water moving
through the entire kick cycle. Speeds Pods are used by
swimmers, scuba divers, body boarders with a need for
more speed and more output from their input energy. In
the kick cycle water speeds up as it flows over the
curved hydrofoil shape and reduces drag, but there are
some Force Wing users who adjust the Force Wings just
to isolate or highlight strength or weaknesses in one
leg over the other for physical conditioning and
recovery therapy.
Bat Wings- Speed, Efficiency and Control Bat Wings
Everything out of the Force Wing Line up comes with
the Bat Wing and more. It is the biggest in size of
the Force Wing Family and it has two things that the
rest of wings do not have. Its position sits on top of
the Fin blade and the wing is flexible creating and
whole new water dynamic to improve sculling
underwater. When I worked in Fiji I had a dive master
who always used them and I can still see him hovering
over a group of tourist divers as they explore the
walls and reefs of Savusavu.
With the increase in surface area and the position on
the wings to the blade an increase in water volume is
accelerated behind you to aid in propulsion and thrust
and due to the flexibility of the wings, sculling
becomes easier and more efficient. This wing is not
for closed environment divers as mentioned before the
size of the Bat Wings is significant enough that you
would need a low profile wing as the Whisker or Speed
Pod if you were diving in really closed environments.
Force Wings is another great innovation in fin
technology that offers water enthusiasts a choice in
making precise adjustments with a flip of the wrist
that cant be beat. Really like your fins, not a Force
Fin user, but interested in Force Wing Technology use
a launch pad kit force_wings
and you are able to adapt any
of the Force Wings to most of the fins on the market.
Force Wings allow you to take control and optimize the
way you want the water to work for you.
