What is the difference between DaFiN Pro and DaFiN Kicks fins?
DaFiN Pro is the most powerful yet comfortable fin in the water today. DaFiN delivers high-performance in the heaviest surf conditions for lifeguards and bodysurfers while being agile enough to give any user a level of safety, power and comfort in the water.
DaFiN Kicks fins are a versatile, user-friendly fin designed for fun in the ocean whether bodyboarding, swimming, snorkeling, or just playing in the surf. Kicks fins were designed by legendary Hawaii bodyboarder Aka Lyman by modifying the DaFiN design to a rounded blade with sloping side rails. Kicks are perfect for the drop-knee style of bodyboarding.
