Hi all,

I would like to ask that freedivers help who have experience with Falcon 80 and Merou carbon blades.

My questions is:
What is the different (is there different) between two blades?

Thanks your answer!

What are Merou blades?

 

[fabrice]

You can find some info here :

If you compare the two blade, they look same (but the price not same).

So the different thing only the name or something more??

 

[Ben Gowland]

They cetrainly look as if they are made by someone other than C4.

I didn't see a price. how much are they?

 

[Ben Gowland]

Found it;

http://www.merou.fr/iso_album/liste_de_prix_20042.pdf

220 Euros - that's more than C4s (in UK at least).

why how mucs is C4 is there?

I' ve seen them a few times in french and italian spearfishing magazines, but I never heard anything how they are. If you are planning to buy one of these two fins, I wouldn't take any risk and choose the C4s. These are WR prooved fins and there is a lot of information for you on this forum.
Deeply,
Manuel

Yeah, Merou is quite expensive... C4 with footpockets cost less than the merou blades... If i were you I wouldnt take any risk with the merou (which could turn out to be a really good fin, who knows?) and just stick with the C4, they are cheaper widely know n and lots of people can help you on this forum if yove got problems...
