The new Avanti Quattro + fin exceeds the established performance of the traditional model thanks to the use of new materials that optimize efficiency. Greater responsiveness and thrusting power with an even more attractive look. New Bungee Strap is provided standard. Proven Channel Thrust technology makes the fin versatile and ideal in all diving conditions. The stabilizers improve stability, eliminating ankle twisting phenomena. The anatomical foot pocket conveys more power to the blade.
