Rating: Sling Shot Fins
Reviewer: Rodney Wallace, - View all my reviews
Thanks to Scuba.com’s recommendation I purchased the Aqua Lung Sling Shot Fins to replace my aging Force fins. I went to the Force fins many years ago to avoid foot and leg cramps. The Force fins work on somewhat the same principal as the Sling Shot fins. The Force fin blade expands and increases resistance on the power stroke and gives the energy back on the return stroke. When I first used the Sling Shot fins with a setting on 1 I was very disappointed. I had no power and the fins were squirrely on my feet. But on the 2 setting the fins came alive. They felt like the Force fins only with a lot more power. On setting 3 they are even more powerful but with more strain on my legs. It’ll take more time in the sea to determine which is the best for me. Again thanks to Scuba.com.

My wife bought her set first. I never could keep up with her.
Finally, I tested her fins with two other sets I had. In every test they were the fastest, most comfortable fins.
Adjustable too.
They are great to dive with.

My wife has the Aqualung slingshots. I plan to order but the sizes have changed, (she has regular). I have a size 9 foot.
Do you have these in stock, (black/silver) as we are going on a trip and need by 6/25 at the latest, (Sarasota, FL).
Thank you,
John

Mens 8-11 (MD) would be the correct size.

Im a male and wear a size 11-11.5 shoe...what would be the appropriate size for me in the Slingshot fin?

Each item on our site will list the sizing, if applicable, in the options dropdown box. With open heel fins, they take into account that you will be wearing a boot with them, so no adjustment in size is needed. You always purchase using your normal sneaker type shoe sizing. In this case you'd wear the XL size.
