Pure Apnea Dynamic Bi-fin World Championship 2014

Pure Apnea's first world record ranking freediving event was held on 9 November, 2014! The event featured two competitions that took place simultaneously on opposite sides of the world. One was held in Brno, Czech Republic and represented the Northern Hemisphere. Roman Ondruj (Freedive World) organized this competition. The second competition was held in Cape Town, South Africa and represented the Southern Hemisphere. This competition was organized by John Daines (Cape Town Freediving) with the assistance of the local ‘Team Zissou’ freediving training group. The event featured just one freediving discipline, Dynamic Apnea with Fins (Bi-fins). Pure Apnea has pioneered a new concept for world record freediving competitions… a single make and model of bi-fins to be used by all competitors! This levels the playing field amongst the athletes. Rob Allen (www.roballen.co.za) graciously sponsored enough sets of their Rob Allen Scorpia fins for all athletes to use at the competitions. These fins are light weight, have medium stiffness plastic blades and come in wide range of sizes including XXS for petite ladies and XXXL for very large men. The Rob Allen Scorpia fins are also very affordable, which made it viable for athletes to buy a pair to use in training for this event. Thank you Rob Allen!!! This video includes full footage of the Southern Hemisphere competition and (unfortunately) just photos and results from the Northern Hemisphere competition. Big thanks to Mark van Coller who shot the underwater footage! Also thank to all the judges, safety divers and support crews! Massive congratulations to Petr Vala and Vendula Strachatova who set the first Pure Apnea Dynamic Bi-fin world records. We look forward to seeing them break those records again in 2015!
