I am so curious about this fin that i will buy a pair now.

They are 85cm long and with medium-soft blades.

I will choose the 21cm wide blades.

It will be interresting to compare them to my C4 FLAP 80s.

What fin did you buy from Carlos Thomas then?

He seems very professional and helpful when it comes to getting the best for the customer.

I choosed the 21cm wide Ct85 in black fins (85cm long) and medium soft hardness nr2.
 
Poseidon,

I am the Leaderfins representative for USA and Canada but my partner sells some of his spearfishing models.

I know very well all CT fins, but I used more the Matt Mimettic ones and have a lot of spero friends that use his fins in Spain.
Carlos is really a top guy, and he will help you in all the process of choosing your fins.

Cheers

Ivan

[ame="http://forums.deeperblue.net/showthread.php?t=64886"]Carbon Tek 85 fins wanted![/ame]

:)
 
Funny I was asking for buying this fin secondhand many times from different spanish spearfishers but no-one wanted to sell them in the end.

How much will the shipping be to me in Sweden?
 
The Fins arrived!

I got the wonder blades in pure carbon from Spain today and the craftmanship and quality is great.

I installed them in OMER millenium footpockets of the latest type and they sit very well there.

There is no cutouts like on the C4 fins and the rails are made so that there is small rails for the grooves molden in the footpocket that keeps them tightly in place just like on normal plastic blades.

This is much better than the C4 aproach and needs no silicone to make the sit firmly to the footpocket.

I might post some pictures if someone cares.

(Sometimes I dont know if this is of interrest to someone else)

The rubber rails material is also available separately yo fit to any blade you like.

Carlos Thomas made the fins for me just like i wanted them.

He can make different hardness and also any length you like and i guess and bladetip shape also.

The rails are tyhe best i have ever seen and they also serve as a great protection for the fragile sides of the blades that now have rubber that take up any impact from the side.

I highle recommend these blades to any freediver of spearfisher.

They are also available in Mimetic camopuflage that takes away any shine that might scare fish and also for freedivers you can choose any high visability colour for safety and to be more visible.

Oh I forgot, my fins was aordered in 21cm width but you can buy them 19cm wide also if you like the width similar to the C4s.

Carlos asked me about this when I ordered them, he is a great fin maker!
 
That is a very nice looking fin! I´m thinking of getting the carbontek glass fins for spearing. I would assume that they would take more beating than 100% carbon blades.
