FROM THE RACE TRACK TO THE REEF
Atomic BladeFins have a moderately firm blade combined with unique structural engineering and materials to deliver more power, thrust and speed. The Power-Loop Monocoque structural frame design used in aircraft and Indy race cars is combined with the frame rail for maximum power transfer from every kick. Vertical strakes keep you tracking straight. Atomic “Wicked” style keeps you looking great.
PATENTED ATOMIC FIN FEATURES
Atomic fin designs start with a radical approach to engineering and unique materials. But it doesn’t stop there. Every aspect of performance and convenience is considered. This resulted in our patented EZ-LOK Buckle System. Easily snap the buckle on and off with confidence that it will not release accidentally. Buckles rotate 180 degrees and straps adjust with a simple pull (US Patent No. 6,463,640). Rust-resistant Stainless Steel patented Spring Heel straps are available for all Atomic Fins and as a universal retrofit for most other brands.
WHY ATOMIC BLADEFINS ARE BETTER
A paddle fin design is the best design for cruising through the water. Atomic BladeFins optimize power and thrust from our unconventional paddle fin design. Our unique structural engineering approach and foot pocket power plate creates a solid feeling and helps maximize kicking power. Vertical stabilizers (strakes) on fin tips keep the fin tracking straight up and down with every kick. Exclusive Atomic “Wicked” styling creates a distinctive look.
Why BladeFins?
Atomic Aquatics gives you choices to meet your dive needs and personal swimming style. BladeFins are designed to deliver…
- Power and thrust that only a paddle fin design can provide divers to cruise through the water.
- Unique structural engineering combines both Power-Loop Monocoque and Frame Rail designs to maximize kicking power.
- Vertical stabilizers on fin tips keep the fin tracking straight up and down with every kick.
- Wicked fin and buckle styling for a distinctive look that perfectly complements the Atomic VENOM mask and SV Series snorkel
How BladeFins Work
The Four C’s: Capture – Contain – Channel – Control
Atomic Aquatics BladeFins Capture water and Contain the flow without spilling it over the edges while Channeling the flow of water down the blade and off the vertical stabilizer edge tips, and Controlling the power with two frame structures (Monocoque and Frame Rail) to fully optimize the paddle fin design and kicking effort.
Design Points
The Atomic Blade Fin combines two frame designs on one fin to maximize kicking power in the water...
• Monocoque
• Frame Rail (or Backbone/Bulkhead)
1. Power-Loop Monocoque Structural Engineering
Monocoque is an engineering term meaning “single shell.” This design structure is heavily utilized in the design of an aircraft fuselage or Indy race car, for example. Power-Loop Monocoque is a construction technique that utilizes the external skin to support some or most of the load area of the fin while power is applied through the frame rails (Power Rails) into the water.
2. Power-Loop Monocoque – Foot Pocket Power Plate
The Power-Loop Monocoque structure is located over the top of the foot pocket and connected to the fin via a Backbone frame structure inside the Power Rails. In turn, this structure is connected to the sole plate (Power Plate), giving the diver a very solid feeling of the fin being “bolted” to the foot as power is smoothly transferred to the water without twisting.
3. Power Rail
The frame rail structure on each side of the fin is designed to mimic a bulkhead, backbone or spine.
4. New Buckle Styling
All new buckle style with “Wicked” design and cleaner styling.
5. Vertical Stabilizers
Oversized vertical stabilizers at the tips keep the fin tracking straight up and down.
