Hey merfriends. So I have found this fin around the internet a few times and it seems like it would fit me. But I don't even know what it's called. (so I haven't been able to search this site for info) I don't see a name on any of the listings I've found. It looks like a a cut finis wave but the ankle is different so I don't think it is. Anyway, has anyone actually used this fin? Any reviews or thoughts on it for a cheaper beginner fin?

I have this fin. It’s actually from the same factory as the aqua mermaid fin I personally don’t like it because your feet slip off the straps no matter what you do...aquamermaid private labels their monofin. I have both the aquamermaid and this eBay fin. Same exact fin other than the aquamermaid logo but a hefty $40 price diff. (60 for aquamermaid and 20 for the eBay fin)

If the fin is going in a tail, is it worth the amazing price tag? Is it sized for adults or kids? Do you have any pictures of it in person or next to another fin (like a Mahina or a Finis Rapid?)

I def would not recommend the aquamermaid for $60 because it’s the same exact monofin as the $20 eBay one. Like I said aquamermaid private labels their monofin :/. Here are pics of the aquamermaid/eBay no brand monofin next to both my fin fun pro and my adult mahina. As for sizing you can get them in an adult size or kid size for the foot pockets. The straps do adjust so it’s a range of size. As for sticking it in a skin, i found that it fits in my suntails and fin fun but it also stretches it out because the foot part is wider than the suntails or finfun monofin . Hope that helps!!
