The SEAWING NOVA GORILLA is virtually identical in appearance to the Seawing Nova. However, it uses a special additive in its compound to provide more stiffness and snap to the blade. This results in more power and control for divers who prefer a stiffer fin with more "feedback." The stiffer blade also allows for more effective sculling, frog-kicking, and back-kicking, making it a great choice for tech divers. The fin features a well-engineered footplate with co-molded Grip Pads that improve non-skid footing on slippery boat decks or dive ladders. It also includes a self-adjusting heel strap made of marine-grade bungee. The SEAWING NOVA GORILLA is a truly unique fin that has earned accolades since its introduction, setting the bar in dive fin design.
