LOTUS monofin in fiberglass by Cetma Composites, is aimed at sports competitions and training in the outdoor, indoor and fin swimming sectors. Monofin LOTUS in Fiberglass is extremely versatile. It is recommended for freediving schools, for beginners who want to start the monofin discipline and for expert athletes who need a specific tool for indoor and outdoor training. The blade is made by high pressure molding of HOT MELT prepreg, a process derived from the aerospace world. Specifically, it was created through FEM design to distribute stiffness accurately in both the longitudinal and transverse directions. This feature has made the “sister” monofin TARAS the most used in international competitions. Thanks to the engineered distribution of stiffness, in fact, the lateral load loss due to the transverse arching of the blade has been drastically reduced, this allows to maximize the efficiency, i.e. to produce a high thrust with a minimum effort.The engineered distribution of the blade's stiffness makes it stable even under powerful strides, drastically reducing muscle fatigue.The shoe, made from a mold, in high quality rubber is ergonomic and comfortable. When worn "intentionally tight" to minimize power loss and maximize thrust. Furthermore, for the first time, an absolute novelty in the sector, the shoe itself is assembled by fixing with screws, a feature that guarantees extreme flexibility of use.All components: shoes, blade, lateral and vertical stabilizers are assembled by highly specialized personnel. Features: 1. The monofin is designed with zero foot pocket-blade inclination (flat monofin); 2. The material is PRE-PREG 100 % GLASS S obtained with hot melt impregnation systems with tetra-functional resin. 3. 3D-Tech: Proprietary technology, exclusive know-how of CETMA COMPOSITES, at high pressure, high temperature and under vacuum. This implies a component with 0% voids, free of defects, and with a constant fiber/resin ratio on the entire blade. 4. FEM Design: The LOTUS design is optimized through careful finite element design (FEM). The software used ensures optimal distribution of stiffness. The goal is to reproduce a blade deformation that ensures maximum hydrodynamic performance.
