New Variegated Colour PF3 Range - Bodysurfing Fins, Bodyboarding Fins and Ocean Photographers Swim Fins

Our passionate and experienced POD Ware team are thrilled to introduce our top-of-the-line surfing swim fins.

We have developed a new variegated colour in the POD rubber fin factory. No design team will come close to the research and development that has gone into the PF3's Line.

The variegated colours are one of a kind, they are irregular colour patches that feature on our fin straps and rails. These ocean fins have been inspired by a diverse array of ocean life, allowing us to beautifully capture the vibrant and unique characteristics of marine species.

Drawing from this inspiration each flipper conveys its own story, similar to the great diversity of ocean life. The distinct characteristics of each fin explore a narrative of individuality, that each customer is subject to their own exclusive pair of POD surf fins.

Yet another worldwide first for POD Ware.- Proud Australian Owned Company

Durability and Longevity

No one wants to buy swim fins that fall apart after a few uses; this is common among cheap-grade rubber formulations.

Please don't take our word for it. Here is one hundred per cent proof: a customer has just posted on Instagram a pair of PF3 POD fins that are ten years old and as good as new. Now that is sustainable manufacturing.

PF3 Deign Evolution

This distinctive swimming fin has all the high-quality design features of our PF2’s but stands out because of its asymmetrical design. This design delivers more precise balance users in comparison to existing asymmetrical fins in the market.

These performance fins are sought after by experienced bodysurfers, bodyboarders and surf photographers.

Our "Point of Difference" (POD) philosophy is what makes the difference both aesthetically and functionally in this leading edge surfing swim fin!

If you are curious about the blade length difference between the PF2’s and PF3’s, we have provided an image comparing the two above, click here.

Plus, another good comparison is the blade length difference between the PF3’s and Churchill Makapuu Swim Fins above or click here.

If you are interested knowing about the PF3 length or blade width in difference sizes, we have provided an image comparing these sizes above or click here.

Shoe Size Comparisons

One common mistake is comparing your shoe size directly to swim fin sizes. Let us explain why it’s not a good idea:

  1. Different Sizing Standards: Just like shoes, many brands of rubber swim fins will vary in size. A size 10 in one fin brand may be a size 9 in another.
  2. Lack of Adjustability: Unlike shoes, rubber swim fins do not have shoelaces to help you achieve a snug fit. They rely on the rubber to stretch to provide a snug fit. They stretch to fit your feet snugly and prevent slipping off during use.

To ensure the best fit, always check our specific size chart link above for the fins you're interested in and consider trying them on if possible.

*Note: If your feet match the same width shown on the foot sizes chart although they are slightly longer in length, toe room will still remain. This is due to versatile fittings of the foot pocket which provide a comfortable fit.

However, all POD Flippers are not suited to fit more than one-foot size below the size chart. As it will alter the predetermined foot size based on body weight to blade length ratio.

This will compromise the swim fin structural wall section, due to being overweight or over stretching the rubber. Hence, it is not covered under warranty.

If you have any doubts whatsoever, please visit your local stockist to ensure you are purchasing the appropriate size.

At POD Ware we understand comfortable swim fins are your most important priority, followed by performance and then price.

As we often say at POD Ware... “If you are supplied with comfort and performance, it's worth the price.”

The swim fins are not designed for forward walking/running (swimming fins are not joggers or shoes).

A common sense approach that is highly recommend, walking and/or running backwards will not compromise the swim fin structure

Bending the blade beyond 35° in any direction from walking, running or excess load will cause the sole/blade to tear or split. Any actions of such will not be covered by warranty.

POD Fins are not engineered for fittings below the mentioned sizes (less than one size), this will alter the intended foot size to blade length ratio versus body weight. This will compromise the swim fin structural strength, due to overweight or overstretching, is not covered under warranty. They are not intended for walking or running (they are not joggers nor shoes). Bending the blade beyond 35° in any direction from walking, running and/or excess load on the blade or sole will cause the sole or blade to tear/crack voids warranty. Walking and/or running backwards will prevent the above occurring.

    Best set of bodysurfing fins on the market.

    Posted by Jonathon on 22nd Sep 2021

    I bought DaFins and they are marketed as the "ultimate" bodysurfing fin. Not true. They are super stiff but do not allow the cadence and are not as responsive to adding quick pace to take-offs. There is a fine line between kicking cadence and stiffness that will allow me to go further and faster. I picked up a pair of PF2's in Margaret River while on a bodysurfing trip. Thought I'd give them a go. They are amazing, so I went the one-step up to the PF3's. With the PF3's and the PF2's, I've been able to get onto large waves that I'd normally have to bust a gasket to get on. I have been coming out of sessions not feeling completely spent. The swim outs to get out to the main break have also been great with these fins. My No. 1 go to fin now.

    Great fins

    Posted by D Junor on 4th Aug 2019

    These have more drive than the PF1's I replaced. I ordered a size lower than suggested and they fit snugly and comfortably. They drain sand really well. Really good fins. Amazing customer service too. Cheers!

    The Proof is in the Pudding.

    Posted by Wayne Tibbitts on 17th Sep 2018

    The Pods performance in the water was noted by all. The PF3 Evolution had more thrust than the PF2s, generated more speed and wave catching ability. No leg cramps and no abrasions on my toes from friction/rubbing in the fin shoe. The water and sand drained out well. Have not worn my Churchill’s since. Thanks again Shane have highly recommended POD to my friends. Keep up the good work, cheers mate

    Effective bodysurfing fin

    Posted by ShorebreakDave, Florida on 1st Nov 2017

    I've been mostly using a pair of Da Fins for bodysurfing. They've become pretty much standard in the US. I'd fallen out of using MS Viper for this purpose and hadn't been too impressed with DMC Repellor (comfortable, but didn't feel extra power). The new PF3 fit is slightly larger than my PF2, so wearing a sock or using a padded tether is thinkable. A non-padded tether works fine. There's no need for padding for comfort. The rubber's great. The fins's drain at the end of the foot pocket quickly removes sand and the shell fragments that are a big feature of the local beach. No more fin removal and cleaning once outside. In terms of swimming power and acceleration, I need to do some comparisons. My initial impression is that the PF3's are at least as fast as Da Fin with similar number of strokes. We've had only sloppy surf lately, so no comparisons of rail behavior or usefulness for bodyboarding (should be excellent).

    POD 3 vs MS Viper

    Posted by Benny P on 21st Jun 2017

    In comparison to MS Viper: Blade Length - The extra length on the end makes a huge difference. I can feel more thrust than MS. Blade stiffness - Definitely not too stiff but enough to give you good motion. I think the splay rails combo is great! Blade rails - Stiffer than MS which gives me more propulsion. MS way too flexible for the short blade length. I dont understand why you would want a flexier version ie orange dot ones. Foot Pocket - A bit of room in toe area but still feels secure. I add ankle pads to really lock it in there. To be honest, very comfortable on the first surf. Ankle strap - Love this! Feels really secure where MS Vipers are too lose. On many occasion fins get ripped off just through duck diving. I dont feel these w PF3s. Kicking Motion - I found you need slightly bigger kicks with pods but not to the point where Im using more energy. MS Viper required shorter kicks but more of them = using more energy. Overall I'm getting on the waves how I should be which is what I need when waves are bigger as well. I guess for bodysurfing not so bad as I'm totally in the water.

    Posted by Steve K on 1st Aug 2016

    stoked!!!!

    Posted by ShorebreakKing! on 14th Dec 2015

    Best customer service experience i have ever had, Shane the owner walked me threw my process and made it a pain free experience. I could not find these in the states, but more than happy buying these from Australia instead of going with some the other brands. I have only used Churchhills and finally happy to try some thing else out and this is my first choice of whats out there.

    Pain free and powerful

    Posted by S on 19th Feb 2015

    The PF3 fins are by far the best I've used! I've tried Da Fin, UDTs and Vipers. None come close as I have torn ligaments and can't use them. Yours are pain free and powerful. Thank you!
