If you have been bodyboarding for a couple of years now then you will have already tried different pairs of swim fins. Some fins may have disappointed you, while some seemed to lack the key element of human comfort. Looking for the right pair of swim fins is important because you’re only as good as how comfortable you feel in the water.

Fortunately, Pride Bodyboards creator, Imanol Arrizabalaga, is a masterful craftsman who has a keen eye for materials and advanced techniques. When he came out with Pride Bodyboards, the best swim fins in the world were also conceived.
Vulcan Fins
Over 2 years of research and development took place in the Pride Laboratory before they finally released what they called the best swim fins ever made—the Vulcan Fins. Two versions were introduced to the market: the V1 and the V2.
Vulcan V1
The Pride Lab experimented with different rubber compositions to find the right density for swim fins. After testing various prototypes themselves, the highly skilled guys over at the Pride Lab came out with the V1.
The V1 features dual density rubber, allowing the foot pocket to be soft and light while the fin blade remained stiff and rigid enough to propel. After perfecting the material, Pride progressed toward design. The result is the most ergonomic swim fin template ever made. Slip these on while on land and you will already feel the difference.
These fins are made from premium Malaysian rubber, which feels soft on the skin. You will now be able to extend your surf sessions without worrying about getting foot cramps or blisters from chafing.

If you are an advanced rider, a professional bodyboarder, or just an all around high performance adrenaline junkie, you will find many things to love about the Vulcan V2. It takes after the V1 with its multi-density material. It also boasts of the same game changing ergonomic foot pocket template made for longer sessions so you’ll never have to go back in early from strained feet.
What sets the V2 apart from all other types of swim fins is the 3Density Elastomer Technology®. This signature technology took over 2 years to perfect and now it is ready to blow the competition out of the water.
