Channel Thrust Technology

Mares Channel Thrust Technology uses flexible longitudinal sections that allow the blade to deform in a controlled way during each kick. This creates a channel that captures and directs more water rearward, helping increase propulsion without requiring the diver to simply push against a rigid blade.

Travel-Friendly Performance

The Avanti Superchannel FF is designed around a relatively compact blade, making it easier to pack than many longer performance fins. Mares specifically positions the design as a travel-friendly option that maintains efficient propulsion for recreational diving and snorkeling.

Fit & Size Guide

The Avanti Superchannel FF uses a closed full-foot pocket, so proper sizing is important for both comfort and power transfer. Use the chart below as a starting point when selecting your fin size.

FAQs

What does Channel Thrust Technology do?
The flexible channels allow the blade to deform in a controlled manner during the kick. This helps capture and direct more water rearward, generating greater propulsion for the effort applied.

What is the advantage of a full-foot fin?
A full-foot pocket creates a direct connection between the foot and blade without a separate heel strap. This keeps the fin simple and streamlined and provides efficient transfer of kicking energy.

Are these suitable for travel?
Yes. Mares specifically designed the Avanti Superchannel FF with a compact blade intended to provide strong performance while remaining convenient for traveling divers.

Can these fins be used for snorkeling?
Yes. Their full-foot design, compact blade, and efficient Channel Thrust system make them well suited to both recreational scuba diving and snorkeling.

How do I choose the correct size?
Use the Mares size chart above and match your normal footwear size to the corresponding fin size. Because this is a closed full-foot design, the fit should be secure without creating uncomfortable pressure points.

Expert Insight

The Avanti Superchannel FF is a strong choice for divers who want more propulsion than a basic snorkeling fin without moving to a bulky open-heel setup. Its three-channel Tecralene blade provides an efficient balance of flexibility and thrust, while the compact full-foot design makes it especially practical for warm-water and destination diving.
