And after the C4 Red Falcon.....(http://forums.deeperblue.com/bi-fins/96817-return-falcon.html) here's the newer C4 Blue Flap!!! :king

It's a redesign of the classic, bigger, longer and with a 29° angle (same concept as the Red Falcon).

For the info of the youngsters on board, the old classic Falcon was used the last time a CWT world record was set with bifins (Stepanek) and the old classic Flap for the last DYN world record on bifins (Sietas). In this sense, the new Red and Blue are truly "classic redesigned". Anyone feel free to correct me if wrong...

See the Blu Flap with Omer Stingray footpocket, and a comparison with old Flap, new Blu Flap and C4 Wahoo blades.

really tempted to buy them with pathos fp but I am waiting for some review first
 
A new superexpensive and useless blade from C4... can't undestand why people still buy them..

Why useless? I guess it must be as useless (or as useful) as any other carbon stereo blade. All the rest is preference. Or am i missing something?

PS I'm still using Omer Ice 3 as my fins of choice and will not change anytime soon....;)
 
I am curious too
I do not find them superexpensive... I was looking at several other blades to put on pathos FP and the blue flap are the cheapest.
I like anax a lot as well but my finning is not slow and wide, but quite fast and narrow
 
I call them useless because 3/4 of the blade didn't work at all only the end works, and a pair of C4 is from €300+, you can find better blades and save a lot of money. That's my lil opinion. And i don't wanna talk about the footpocket the "anatomical one" is really heavy, i've got pathos footpocket and is like having a feather on your feet.
 
the blu flap is 215 euro not too bad for carbon blades
I am intrigued by the dimenisone and angle
(similar to the australian blades)
 
I have a set of C4 fuego vgr 40 fins with mustang foot pockets and I feel they are not enough to get back up from 100+ ft dives, I like the fins and the quality but I was wondering what would C4's I guess most powerful fin be for a mustang pocket? I cant afford to try them all out lol but I was looking at the C4 flap would I be correct in my assumption? If not C4 what would some of you recommend?
