same, I find on net maybe some ?? similar (upper convex, bottom concave blade) new fins (unfortunately only open heel ).. I write e-mail to Seac with question about this fins ( fulfoot version, question about geometry) but I got answer :
The Manta fin is still in production and we only have it with open heel.
Concerning the technical data relative to the geometry of the blade and foot unfortunately we cannot release such information as they are strictly confidential.
