Dafin fins is a brand of fins for bodysurfing and bodyboarding. The brand was founded by Andy Cochran, a former Australian lifeguard who has lived in Hawaii for 30 years. This seasoned surfer, who also enjoys a wide range of water sports including windsurfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing, wanted to design a top-quality fin in order to offer a flagship product in the best surf shops in every country where the oceans and seas are not far away, so you can train with passion and efficiency for swimming on the high seas.

This figure from the bodyboard and body surfing industry was one of the pioneers of "surf life saving" in Australia during his youth. He was assisted by Hawaii's leading lifeguards, Mark Cunningham and Brian Keaulana, in designing a high-performance fin.

The Dafin fin is especially appreciated by lifeguards for its innovative shape combined with a comfortable shoe, capable of providing perfect support for the rescuer even in extreme sea rescue conditions. The American brand has been awarded numerous patents for the innovation and quality of its fins. The watermansport group has done an excellent job of communicating the effectiveness of the Dafin fin, with supporting tests.

Whether you're a fan of swimming, scuba diving or any other water sport close to your surf school, training in the marine environment allows you to better read the waves and optimize your physical condition on the high seas.

Together with Cochran, the water man company has also designed Dafin's cousin brand, Kicks, which is more efficient for 100% bodyboarding, with, among others, legendary bodyboarder Aka Lyman.

The Dafin brand offers a wide choice of bodyboard and bodysurf fins, with a wide range of colors and designs. You'll be able to buy both rigid and flexible fins. Depending on the swell and the surf spot, as for the locals on the Basque coast, choosing the right fin is essential.
