Born from an exceptional collaboration between Umberto Pelizzari, an undisputed legend in freediving, and C4, with more than three decades of innovation in designing high-performance fins, the FBG Umberto Pelizzari Fins embody a new era of balance between modernity, efficiency, and accessibility. This prestigious partnership has allowed the creation of a range designed for demanding enthusiasts as well as nature and underwater world-curious passionates.
A signature dedicated to performance
Designed to offer the best in freediving, the C4 Umberto Pelizzari Fins are made from premium fiberglass. Two elegant hues are offered: the white version, available in 20 Extra soft and 25 Soft, and the black version, available in 20 Extra soft, 25 Soft, and 30 Medium. Thanks to their new water rails with a rounded section, the water retention and channelling on the blade are significantly improved, minimizing the formation of lateral vortices.
Accessibility remains at the heart of the approach, with an attractive recommended retail price of €179.
Innovative materials and durability
The development of these fins is based on the combination of top-quality fiberglass and premium epoxy resin, ensuring exceptional flexibility and lasting strength. This technical combination makes these fins ideal allies for prolonged freediving experiences as well as repeated spearfishing.
An exclusive technology developed with C4
As a result of the synergy with Umberto Pelizzari, the C4 technology incorporates rounded water rails, optimizing glide and stability. The « fiberglass prepreg » (pre-impregnated fiberglass) manufacturing process ensures a power consistency throughout the blade’s length, guaranteeing stable and regular performance during each thrust.
Optimal comfort thanks to the 250 C4 foot pockets
Equipped with the 250 C4 foot pockets, these fins impress with their lightness and remarkable ergonomics. The anatomical design perfectly molds to the foot, ensuring a secure hold and optimal energy transfer with each movement. Their flexibility and robustness promise absolute comfort, even during the longest underwater explorations.
Choose the hardness suited to your practice
The choice of hardness depends on your experience and morphology:
– 20 (super soft): ideal for long sessions or lightweight freedivers;
– 25 (soft): perfect for most practitioners seeking versatility between power and comfort;
– 30 (hard): recommended for powerful divers or in current-rich environments for maximum reactivity.
