Size
The new Apeks RK4 Fins deliver optimum performance and excel for frog-kicking and back-finning underwater, without being too heavy or excessively rigid.
You'll be conserving energy with these compact, wide-blade technical fins which provide outstanding manoeuvrability in confined spaces and overhead environments, easy finning in open spaces whether during an upstroke or downstroke.
With the RK4 fin, Apeks has Increased the edge of the blade on the side to give you more control underwater, yet kept some flexibility on the fin tip so it doesn't feel too rigid.
The Apeks RK4 Fins have an adjustable fin strap which allows one or both sides to be adjusted back or forward for optimal fit - each side by around 2cm. A nice big durable pull at the back makes it easier to don and doff in a drysuit (although the discerning divers among you worried about entanglement can still cut off the pull-handle while retaining the rubber guard on the spring.
Weight-wise the RK4 fin sits somewhere between the RK3 and RK3 HD. It's neither super heavy nor too rigid, which makes it comfortable for all sorts of divers whether in drysuit or wetsuit - in short, it is a great all-round fin.
