The Atomic Blade is an interesting fin to me because it uses real fluid dynamics concepts and and no gimmicks (slingshot, seawing, etc). It is a very smart blade fin.

I'm sorry, but there are plenty of gimmicky things in the advertising. The "winglets," or whatever they call them, work drastically different in reality than what they're claiming. The fluid dynamic principles behind those fins are NOT solid. I'm not saying they're bad, however, just that the statement I'm quoting is wrong.
