Quite a bit ago I had made a Lexan monofin that looked great, unfortunately I sorta just guessed on how thick I should've gotten it, I got a .08 inch one the first time, and made a bomb fin out of that; or so I thought. Took it for a swim about a month ago and this happened, I decided it was because of my super strong legs obviously [emoji23]. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/05/f20c2d9749af9f4b71996cacb4afcf93.jpg
But on Thursday, about twenty minutes before I were to leave for camping with family, I decided I wanted to make a new one to swim in the lake with. So I bought a new sheet, this time a .22 inch. Took the bad boy out to the lake and had my uncle help cut it and everything, I figured he would have all the tools since he built his house by himself out there. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/05/5599c16ed77de7c2e5eca5dadf06c14d.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/05/929cc042260545756ceaec21d7cbd1c9.jpg
Took it for a swim, and had the best propulsion, it was incredible. I had my entire tail out too, which I'll post pictures of as soon as I get them, the kids loved it, and I even swam out to a parked party boat where people were swimming around and I got a few jumps from people at first, but it was perfect, everyone loved seeing a mermaid in the lake! The first swim with my new monofin and tail were a success! (Finally!) [emoji4][emoji13]
