Hi,

I got a pair of C4 Wahoos.

So I want to change the plastic blades to carbon or fiber blades. I don't like the plastic blade.

So are there other blades to buy than the original one?

Regards Andi
 
Hi Andi.
I'm using the Skorpio ntt blades, which have lasted well with the abuse that I've thrown at them spear fishing and training in a very shallow pool.
Skorpio is the budget subsidiary of c4 so they are made by the same people from the same materials, just sold for a normal price.

Gft carbonio also do blades that fit the c4 pockets but are on the expensive side of things. Apparently very good tho.

Hope this helps.
 
That does remind me of an old question concerning a piece of string...

I have the soft blades, which are very soft, and they are great for relaxed diving and I'm 73kg. I've taken them down over 40m where they only really work well with perfect kicking technique, so are good for improving said technique. I have knee problems and cant use stiffer blades so you may find that the mediums work well for you, especially if you are heavier than me or dive a lot in strong current.

I am now a firm believer in using the softest blades that work for you as this usually improves efficiency and therefore uses less O2.

Cheers
