    Cheap Competitor Monofin?

    What is the cheapest competitor monofin you have found? I found this one
    http://www.freedivinginstructors.com...&category_id=1

    But I was hoping for something cheaper. Where do you get yours? And does a rapid or wave monofin work and look nice too?

    I love my rapid and I got it for about forty or fifty dollars from someone of off mernetwork who was getting a bigger one. I can't help you with the competitor because all the ones I've found are two hundred and up
    Hugs, fishes, and mermaid kisses!

    Im pretty sure thats about as cheap as it gets for a fiberglass fin. Those things are pricey!!! I'm in the same dilemma as you actually, but I think i'm just gonna go with a wave and use tin snips to get those annoying ridges off it haha. Since i'm getting a fish butts silicone mermaid tail,and thats expensive for a 15 year old (I know its an AMAZING price for a silicone tail but mum and dad don't lolz) I don't really want to spend that extra money!!

    I got a wave and used it by itself for awhile, but when I put it in a tail I just cut the ridges off so its a bit harder to notice under the fabric.
    As far as competitor monofins go (specifically) the cheapest ones I have found are on ebay at around $220.

    What do you mean? I don't get the difference between the different kinds of competitor sized monofins.

    Well I think what she means is.. There are different type of brands of Monofins, alot of manufacturers.
    One of the popular manufacturer is Finis and they have a model type called the "Finis Competitor" And that's the one that's being used often in tails.
    The one you found was a "Model 1" monofin from the manufacturer "Waterway" :3 Which is a cheaper fin to start with than the Competitor from Finis.
