Think they might be waterway ones but I know I used to have those ones in my eBay watchlist, just not hundred percent on the maker

Isn't it a finis knockoff? Looks very similar to competitor

The shape reminds me of the competitor but it looks less rigid than the competitor.

The Nemo Wing is the monofin I use! Not a competitor knockoff, most fiberglass fins look very similar, as that size and shape are pretty universally accepted to be what works best for freediving purposes. The biggest difference is the Nemo has full footpockets. I reviewed mine here if that helps: http://mernetwork.com/index/showthread.php?t=13104

I was given one by a friend that moved away and couldn't take it with him.

I tried it myself and it was far below my old Starfins and of course the Lunocets that I sell.

It just wasn't very efficient and being that there isn't much footpocket angle, the glide is poor.

It's fairly inexpensive for a monofin and isn't as comfortable as I'm used to.

I gave it to a Freediver friend that wanted a monofin but wasn't in the market to buy one.

I'm sure she'll be upgrading fairly soon.

Yeah, it's definitely an entry level freediving fin, but I think it's good value for the price. It doesn't have the glide of more expensive ones with a better angle, but for most mermaiding purposes that isn't super important.

I do wish the footpockets were closer together though. I find the wide set feet look a bit less elegant in a tail than I would like. But that's just my personal aesthetic.

I know you sell the lunocet, and while it looks great, I'm not ready to make a tail to work with it. Also I'm not big on shoes actually. Ha. What monofin would you recommend?

I agree that the footpockets are just a bit too far apart. It can put strain on your knee joints.
