The V-5 has a 5 blade and the classic neoprene insert on the top of the foot pocket, and is designed to be an all-purpose fin for bodyboarding, bodysurfing, and lifeguarding. The vertical side rails are slanted down to a narrow tip. The V-5 has excellent acceleration, maneuverability, tracking, and burst speed. The V-5 Model features less blade surface than the V-7, allowing for shorter and quicker kicks.
