PF2 POD Swim Fins - Balanced Swim Fins for Control, Response and Versatility
The PF2 POD Swim Fins are designed as a balanced, all-purpose fin for swimmers, bodysurfers, bodyboarders, and kneeboard riders who want a more structured and responsive feel while maintaining comfort during extended sessions.
Compared to the PF1, the PF2 introduces additional structure and a firmer response through its symmetrical blade geometry and sole configuration. This allows movement to remain controlled, directed, and consistent under load, particularly in moving water and wave conditions.
The PF2 remains suitable for swimming and open-water use, and its balanced design also makes it well suited to bodysurfing, bodyboarding, and other demanding conditions where position, stability, and control matter most.
Its symmetrical design evenly distributes load across the fin, providing a stable, predictable response without directional bias. This allows users to maintain consistent movement and control across a wide range of conditions.
Manufactured from premium natural Malaysian rubber, the PF2 provides durability, buoyancy, and consistent flex. It offers a more structured, supportive feel than the PF1, with increased feedback through the kick while remaining suitable for longer sessions.
In collaboration with our rubber factory, POD was the first to introduce variegated colour straps and rails. Inspired by ocean life, each pair features unique colour variation, ensuring no two sets are the same.
How the PF2 Is Used
- Swimming and Open Water: A structured, responsive fin suited to training, ocean swimming, and extended sessions
- Bodysurfing and Bodyboarding: Stable, predictable control in moving water with a balanced, symmetrical response
- Knee Boarding: Supports controlled bursts of movement where the board provides primary lift
- Rescue, Lifesaving and Ocean Photography: Consistent performance and durability under repeated load and use

Shoe Size and Swim Fin Fit
Shoe size is not a reliable guide for selecting swim fins. Rubber fins rely on stretch, structure, and precise fit rather than adjustable systems.
As propulsion and load increase with the PF2, correct fit becomes more important for maintaining control, so refer to the PF2 size chart or use the POD Fit Finder for accuracy.
PF2 Swim Fin Sizing
For the most accurate fit, use the measurements below or the POD Fit Finder to match your foot and ankle dimensions.
Step 1 - Foot Length and Width
- Small: 6-7 - Length 23 cm, Width 8.5 cm
- Small/Medium: 7-8 - Length 24 cm, Width 9 cm
- Medium: 8-9 - Length 25 cm, Width 9.5 cm
- Medium/Large: 9-10 - Length 26 cm, Width 10 cm
- Large: 10-11 - Length 27 cm, Width 10.5 cm
- Extra Large: 11-12 - Length 28 cm, Width 11 cm
- Measurements are maximum sizes before stretch.
- Natural rubber stretch allowance up to 5 mm

- Measurements are before stretch.
- Strap stretch allowance of 10-15 mm for secure fit
Refining PF2 Fit for Comfort and Control
The PF2 is built to deliver more support, feedback, and controlled thrust than the PF1, so a correct fit becomes even more important once loads increase in ocean use. If you are using your PF2 swim fins in surf, shore break, or moving water, POD Deluxe Fin Straps can help improve fin retention and reduce the chance of losing a fin during entry, exit, or heavy water movement.
If the heel area feels slightly loose, or you want to reduce friction during longer sessions, POD Swim Fin Savers and Heel Protectors can help create a more secure connection between foot, strap, and fin while improving comfort where pressure often builds.
For riders whose foot dimensions sit on the lower side of the foot pocket range, POD 3mm Neoprene Fin Socks can help refine fit, reduce internal movement, and add warmth and protection in cooler water. The POD Fit Finder will also help identify when fin socks, heel pads, or fin savers may be beneficial based on your measurements and intended use.
The Mark of Quality - Natural Rubber Factory Finish
PF2 POD Swim Fins are produced using premium natural Malaysian rubber. You may notice a light white powder or waxy residue on arrival. This can come from mould release agents used during manufacturing, as well as natural compounds within the rubber rising to the surface.
This is a normal characteristic of unused, factory-fresh rubber.
- Note on Colour: The residue is more visible on darker rubber due to contrast.
- To remove: Wash with warm to hot water before first use.
Care and Use Advice
POD rubber swim fins are designed for swimming, bodysurfing, bodyboarding, knee boarding, lifesaving, and ocean use. They are not designed for forward walking or running.
We recommend a common-sense approach, such as walking backwards when wearing fins, to preserve structure and extend product life.

Fins are sick!
PF2s are quick and powerful. PF3s are super responsive with a super comfortable foot pocket. Amping!

Power
Just got my pf2's in the mail. Immediately took them to Laguna to test them out. They did not fail me in any way!! The power generated by the fin shape got me into the wave with ease, and back into the lineup quickly. Hands down, the best, most comfortable fin on the market today. Keep up the good work boys !

Yesterday, I ordered a set Fins, to my surprise they turned up in the mail today. You guys are unreal, I strapped the fins on this afternoon and went for a body bash in 4-5 foot waves at Nth Thirroul. Epic.

The comfiest fins bar none
These are the only fins I have found that fit well with 3mm fin socks on in the cold English winter. Owned a pair for the last 6years and they finally split across the bottom, had to order more from Pod as there are no stockists in UK. I have pf3's for the summer but too small with fin socks on... Great product and helpful sales team .

wicked fins
So I finally got to try these fins out in the water and they lived up to the expectations! I was surfing a place that I have surfed hundreds of times and there is always a rip going when there is some swell. Normally you keep kicking to keep yourself in place and i was doing this today, when I looked at the shore i realised i had moved 20-30m up the beach in very little time. I was kicking the same as i normally would have been but they just have that bit more power to them. They are comfortable. I surfed 5 1/2hrs and I had red marks on the tops of my feet and ankle bone but they were gone within 20min of getting out of the water. Only negative i would say about the fit is i have a high arch and i get feel that there is a small pocket of space under the inside of my foot. Not quite as comfortable as my redlays (yet) but damn close. Also for people looking at size, I wear a size 12-12 1/2 shoe and have a wide foot but the 10-11 fit me comfortably. They are a bit heavier then my redlays but have better power, but not so much that it strains your calves or ankles. It says 4 stars but it would be more like 4 1/2
