The SPORT Short Bifins Blades 3 Carbon are for freedivers who want lightweight and reactive premium carbon fiber for training, teaching, and fun diving in the pool and open water. Compact blades make the bifins travel-friendly and maneuverable, yet still powerful enough for diving in currents. Updates include an improved blade-layering pattern for more efficient finning and a new minimalistic design. Blades can be paired with standard-size SPORT Silicone Foot Pockets and can easily be disassembled for travel or swapped out for longer blades.

Updated carbon blade
100% premium carbon fiber blades feel featherlight in the water and give you more spring with each kick. Now with an updated blade-layering pattern and size-graded stiffness to match blade length with resistance - soft blades are a little shorter for maneuverability and stiffer blades are longer for more balanced propulsion.

Compact size
A smaller blade allows you to move more easily in water, making these shorties ideal for instructor work, underwater photography, fun divers, and shorter freedivers.

Effortless travel
Finally, a pair of bifins that fits into your average-sized check-in luggage or backpack! No disassembly is required, making this pair of shorties a true travel companion.

Easy assembly
Assembling the foot pockets to the blades takes only minutes, making it easier than ever to switch to a new pair of foot pockets or upgrade to a new blade

Minimalistic design
The new design is sporty and fierce while keeping the signature Molchanovs minimalism and style! Carbon blades are black - choose from 5 bold accent colors.

These instructions are for assembling the SPORT Silicone Foot Pockets to the SPORT Short Bifins 3 Carbon Blade.

Materials required for assembly

Molchanovs left and right short carbon blades
Left and right SPORT Silicone Foot Pockets
2 screws for each foot pocket (4 total)
Upper and lower mounting plates
Phillips head screwdriver

Assembly instructions

Match the left and right foot pocket with the corresponding blade (marked on the back side of each blade).
Insert the blade gently into the slot at the front of the foot pocket and through the side reinforcements, verifying it is inserted correctly and slides in smoothly without force.
Align the blade by carefully adjusting its position until the blade’s mounting holes match with those on the foot pocket.
Position the upper mounting plate over the toe section of the foot pocket, verifying it fits into the provided space.
Begin hand-threading the screws into the holes of the lower mounting plate.
Place the lower mounting plate over the blade, aligning it with the upper mounting plate and the holes. Tighten the screws in a clockwise direction using a Phillips head screwdriver with an even distribution of pressure.
CAUTION: Secure the screws firmly, but avoid over-tightening which could strip the threads or damage the blade. Stop when you feel moderate resistance.
