Beskrivelse
Compact design, powerful performance – the SPORT Short Bifins Blades 3 Carbon.
The SPORT Short Bifins Blades 3 Carbon are for freedivers who want lightweight and reactive premium carbon fiber for training, teaching, and fun diving in the pool and open water. Compact blades make the bifins travel-friendly and maneuverable, yet still powerful enough for diving in currents. Updates include an improved blade-layering pattern for more efficient finning and a new minimalistic design. Blades can be paired with standard-size SPORT Silicone Foot Pockets and can easily be disassembled for travel or swapped out for longer blades.
Updated carbon blade
100% premium carbon fiber blades feel featherlight in the water and give you more spring with each kick. Now with an updated blade-layering pattern and size-graded stiffness to match blade length with resistance – soft blades are a little shorter for maneuverability and stiffer blades are longer for more balanced propulsion.
Compact size
A smaller blade allows you to move more easily in water, making these shorties ideal for instructor work, underwater photography, fun divers, and shorter freedivers.
Effortless travel
Finally, a pair of bifins that fits into your average-sized check-in luggage or backpack! No disassembly is required, making this pair of shorties a true travel companion.
Easy assembly
Assembling the foot pockets to the blades takes only minutes, making it easier than ever to switch to a new pair of foot pockets or upgrade to a new blade
Minimalistic design
The new design is sporty and fierce while keeping the signature Molchanovs minimalism and style! Carbon blades are black – choose from 5 bold accent colors.

These instructions are for assembling the SPORT Silicone Foot Pockets to the SPORT Short Bifins 3 Carbon Blade.
Materials required for assembly
- Molchanovs left and right short carbon blades
- Left and right SPORT Silicone Foot Pockets
- 2 screws for each foot pocket (4 total)
- Upper and lower mounting plates
- Phillips head screwdriver
Assembly instructions
- Match the left and right foot pocket with the corresponding blade (marked on the back side of each blade).
- Insert the blade gently into the slot at the front of the foot pocket and through the side reinforcements, verifying it is inserted correctly and slides in smoothly without force.
- Align the blade by carefully adjusting its position until the blade’s mounting holes match with those on the foot pocket.
- Position the upper mounting plate over the toe section of the foot pocket, verifying it fits into the provided space.
- Begin hand-threading the screws into the holes of the lower mounting plate.
- Place the lower mounting plate over the blade, aligning it with the upper mounting plate and the holes. Tighten the screws in a clockwise direction using a Phillips head screwdriver with an even distribution of pressure.
- CAUTION: Secure the screws firmly, but avoid over-tightening which could strip the threads or damage the blade. Stop when you feel moderate resistance.
