THE ORIGINAL SWIM FIN – TRUSTED SINCE 1936: Owen Churchill invented the modern swimfin for the U.S. Navy in 1936. Nearly 90 years later, Churchill remains a trusted name in ocean performance, and the Makapuu PRO is the most performance-driven fin in the Churchill lineup.
STIFF BLADE RAILS FOR EXPLOSIVE ACCELERATION: Reinforced blade rails channel more water with every kick, generating stronger thrust, faster wave entry, and maximum drive in heavy surf conditions.
REDESIGNED FOR 2026 – IMPROVED COMFORT: Updated mold features rounded heel strap edges, a smoother drainage area, and a softer foot pocket that wraps naturally around the foot to help reduce irritation and chafing.
