Seac Motus Kama
This has to be the coolest fin I have ever seen. The Seac Motus Kama has interchangeable, anti-reflection, camouflage patterned fins, which are made of a material that is resistant to cuts and abrasions. The blade is slightly set at a 22-degree angle, which numerous studies show that this angle has been used to obtain the best performance, without tiring out the legs. The foot pockets have been created with thermoplastic rubber on the sole, so you wont have to worry about stepping on anything sharp on the sea floor and the sides of the foot have been made with a super soft rubber for comfort. Overall these fins not only look cool, they also work extremely well in the water.
