Mares Avanti Superchannel
The Avanti Superchannel is brand-new this year and comes with a soft center channel for flex and efficiency and a full rubber foot pocket upper for comfort. It also sports the new ABS Plus buckle system, and in our series of tests, it kicked some serious bottom time. The blade has a smooth flex that turned in speed performance almost as fast as the top open-heel fins in this review. It produced average thrust and snaked through the slalom course in good time, but what test divers noticed was its stability. Divers who prefer a stiffer feel really liked this fin, and found it worked well for pushing heavy loads through the water. Our team also found the fin comfortable to wear, easy to control and a snap to propel with any kick style.

Test Diver Comments "A good solid fin"... "Very comfortable and efficient"... "Very good control with small movements."

Bottom Line When the votes were tallied, the Avanti Superchannel came out on top as the favorite open-heel, paddle fin, earning a Testers' Choice Rating. It also comes in with a retail price lower than most in the pack, making it a Best Buy, too.
