Hey everyone!
After having my tail sit for over a year I've decided to list it for sale as a project tail for anyone who has ever wanted a Mike Van Daal tail. I say project tail bc it could use new paint job to refresh the look ( general wear and tear but still looks awesome in photos) , zipper on side hip part is broken and has 2 tiny/ small holes by the ankle ( can't c them unless ur swimming and see some extra bubbles come up lol)
It's been used for years and is still totally swimmable ( once the zipper is fixed) and totally functional for land shoots.
I just am not crafty at all and would like to see it go to someone who has the skills to fix it up / likes ( or is willing to) working with latex .
This tail has a foot pocket ( no monofin) and the fluke is very heavy. Not recommended for someone just learning to swim as a mermaid. However if u are accomplished swimming with a monofin u should be fine.
Asking $800 OBO , plus $50 shipping
Payment thru PayPal.
Attached r photos of it used in a shoot and close ups of current condition.
This tail was also previously owned by Alasea BlueMer, so if you've seen pix previous to 2012 it's the same one [emoji2]
You can email me at be_happy247@hotmail.com if u have any questions outside of this forum.

Small side zipper on left side ( sealed on right side) and velcros shut. Zipper doesn't work.

2 small tears on left fin ( by zipper) u can only tell bc I pulled it open to show for this listing, otherwise u would never notice.

Left side by hip fin , small separation , not noticeable unless ur trying to find it and pull it back. Easy fix if u know how to work with latex.

Small pinky sized hole by ankle in back side ( can't c it unless u poke a finger thru and I have tiny fingers)
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/14/be3f6d0d8cc89480cf7778cd7ae76633.jpg
2nd small pinky sized hole at backside of ankle , also not noticeable like first tiny hole.
Measurements were tough bc I just had a baby and no longer fit into it ( sigh) and don't have measurements from original purchase ( it's been 3-4 years now)
I am 5'4" averaged about 125lbs at the time I was using it. Length was ok for my height but prob wouldn't work if ur much taller than that.
Foot pocket will fit about 7-8 ( I'm 7.5) maybe 8.5... Not sure though .
The tail from :
Tip of fluke to waist is : 60.5"
Bottom of foot to waist ( which is what ur gonna need to measure for ) : 47"
Ankle circumference : about 15"
Calf " : about 18"
Knees": about 20"
Thighs": about 26"
Hips": about 35"
Waist": about 27"
Fluke is 34" across and does not flop/ bend except for the tips on the very end of each side.
Sorry the measurements maybe off by an inch or so bc I couldn't put it on. I can however see if I can get someone more that size to try it on if needed.
Let me know if u have any questions. I tried to be as detailed as possible about the wear and tear on it and size.
