Until now I used Epsilon carbon fins. When I tried the C4 fins I immediately felt the lightness of the fins like bare feet. Fining effort is also reduced. I don't know if they are more or less effective than the Taras de Cetma because I haven't tried it. But from what I have observed in competition, it is difficult to keep them on for more than twenty minutes which means that competitors who have them do no warm up. These fins are very comfortable. However, I have to wear slippers even though I took a size 43-44 even though I am a 44.5.

J'utilisais jusqu'à présent des palmes Epsilon en carbone. En essayant les palmes C4 j'ai tout de suite ressenti la légèreté des palmes comme pieds nus. L'effort de palmage est aussi réduit. Je ne sais pas si elles sont plus ou moins efficaces que les Taras de Cetma car je ne l'ai pas essayé. Mais de ce que j'ai pu observé en compétition, il est difficiles de les garder plus de vingt minutes ce qui fait que les compétiteurs qui en ont font du no warm up. Ces palmes sont très confortables. Je dois cependant porté des chaussons malgré que j'ai pris du 43-44 alors que je fais du 44,5.

The best fins I've ever bought, only that the foot pocket comes one size larger than it is. I'm normally 44/45 but in pockets 200 43/44 suits me better

las mejores aletas que eh comprado, solo que el foot pocket viene una talla mas grande de lo que es. yo normalmente soy 44/45 pero en los pockets 200 me va mejor 43/44

Have been using different C4 fins for 15 years and so far these are the best, especially from comfort + easy to put on / off + transport point of view. From performance point of view there are more efficient fins on the market (e.g. Taras from Cetma), designed for competitive freediving, but these have open hell and so cannot be used for hours in the water. 200 footpocket is amazing. It has good transfer of energy, thanks to hard bottom, good comfort thanks to soft upper part and is very practical both for diving (to put on /off) and traveling (to disassemble and reassemble fins for the transport). Regarding the blades, these long blades require very small amplitude when kicking... a freediver must get used to it, as it is different from traditional big amplitude kicking style. Advantage of this style is the usage of smaller muscles, resulting in lower oxigen consumption. When it comes to blade stiffness I am 84kg trained athlete and soft (25 version) works the best for me... as it is not power what matters but the right kicking style.
