Guaranteed Safe Checkout
Overview
The DaFiN Kicks Classic Black Swim Fins are versatile, user-friendly fins designed for bodyboarding, swimming, snorkeling, and recreational ocean use. Developed from the DaFiN concept, the Kicks design uses a rounded blade with sloping side rails to provide a comfortable balance of propulsion, maneuverability, and easy handling in the water.
Designed by legendary Hawaiian bodyboarder Aka Lyman, Kicks are made from quality natural rubber, float in salt water, and can be worn interchangeably on either foot. Their lightweight construction also makes them a practical choice for beach days, travel, and destination water activities.

Fit & Size Guide
DaFiN Kicks sizing is based primarily on foot length and US men's shoe sizing. Heel-to-toe length is the most important measurement. The foot pocket is soft and flexible, with no separate narrow or wide versions. If you plan to wear fin socks or booties, DaFiN recommends sizing up as needed.

Before First Use: Silicone Coating Notice
DaFiNs are coated with a special silicone solution prior to packaging. This is normal and does not mean the fins are defective or used. The coating is medical-grade and safe for contact with your skin.
If the fins feel too slippery right out of the box, rinse them with cold water while wiping off the excess silicone solution with your hands. Let the fins air dry before use.
Care & Return Policy
Rinse the fins thoroughly with fresh cold water after each use and allow them to air dry before storage. Store in a cool, dry place away from prolonged direct sunlight and excessive heat to help preserve the natural rubber.
- Fit: Confirm sizing before use. If wearing fin socks or booties, additional room may be needed.
- Returns: Return eligibility is subject to House of Scuba's current return-policy requirements.
